judge on:

-overall impression
-originality
-intro, build up, etc.
-sound quality
-mastering


anything else?

I would say charisma... other than that it all seems fine

+ Charisma

Should all these be jugded separately or in one mix?

Charisma? What does that have to do with anything

It's not like we know any of these people personally, just their online personas

Yeah well, we're talking about the track's charisma, it needs to be interesting enough to make you want to hear those entire 5 mins + , eh?

I suggest we judge by general impression, because most of the things that Robert mentioned will kinda be under general impression. Like mastering, originality, sound quality and structure will affect the general impression you have of the song. You understand me?

Well in that case, I would think "charisma" would fall under the same category as originality wouldn't it?

I think it would be wise to judge on personal opinion least as possible. Ofcourse the judging will always remain personal, but it shouldn't be judged on how you like the track... It should be judged on aspects you can "measure". Like the complexity of rhythm or combination of notes...

Or am I saying something that's impossible to realize?

Exactly, we need to minimize the effect of personal taste on the judges' decisions.

Nope, a track can be very inovative without actually sounding good and interesting (For my taste, Marco V or Progressive Trance)

Suggestion:

-originality
Pretty clear right? Though a little originality is good, it can be overdone.
-complexity
Innovative rhythms, combination of notes. A good tune isn't too simple, because it will easily bore the listener, but like originality, complexity can be overdone. In that case the tune will probably annoy the listener.
-build up / break down
Does the tune have a thrilling energetic build up that makes you wanna party or a smooth flow lifting you high above the clouds and make you dream away? Or are you waiting for the tune to actually begin and before you know it it's over? Does it give you the time to slowly awake from your dream, or are you kicked from your cloud ending up with your face in the dirt?
-Connections
How are the different parts of the song connected? How do the different sounds sound together? Is it all connected?
-Sound quality / mastering (this is pretty much the same thing imo)
Pretty clear too... No annoying sounds or way too much midrange?

anything else? Other thoughts?


We could make a scheme... We could rate each aspect of the judging on a scale of 1 to 20 (depending on the number of aspects), and add the numbers together to come to an average percentage...

When we know on what aspects the mixes will be judged I'd like to work on such a schedule...

Grtz!

Agree
That's how the songs should be rated.

btw, my remix is turning out quite different from the original
