Hello to all, and thanks alot for all the entries we've gotten so far. We as a label have been reading the recent request for midi and so on. At this time its our feelings that if your skill level doesnt allow you to create a remix off the supplied audio files, then maybe you're not ready for this contest yet. We always like to hear what new & upcoming artist have to offer, but at this time we're looking for skilled producers and remixers to put their own season and flair on the track. I do appologize if your skill level requires midi to complete a remix, but as I stated before,maybe you're not ready for this contest. Again thankyou so much for all the entries we've gotten so far, and we cant wait to hear what you guys bring to the table!!! Thanks and Good Luck to All!!!!

what a bunch of bs, I dont want ur lousy audio files, its not E-Jay we`re using now is it ? a simple 1 kb file containing the bassline and the melody of the track, is that so hard, is that so much to ask ?
If i were to use ur audio files, i could just have imported some of them in my own track and called it a remix..
very well, its ur loss.. |

That's the dumbest thing I have heard in years ... Seriously, the MIDI only help producers who dont have too much time to produce the remix faster, because they have other projects, school, work etc etc etc, a MIDI gives you the chance to begin to work on it without have to listen to the tune several times, dont talk about skilz please, alot of TA's producers are extremelly skilled, I can ensure you that, and I can ensure you also they are not participating in your remix because looks amateur, a serious producer only needs to read your terms of agreement and take a look at your webpage to notice it, an advice, if you are making a remix contest and you want good participation, let the producers to decide if they want to do their remixes with the MIDI's or by ear, how hard could be that? But to argue with them for that is ridiculous.

Well.. i dont think its just about the midi files.. The thing is that, i think there is alot of producers here, that wants to join the compestision, but like many others here, dont work as producers.. Like my self, i have a full time job and some go to school, so it would have been nice to get those midi files, to get started. AND i dont care what you or that label says, The midis files is included in 90% of the time.
And please sont talk to us like we donīt know anything, i think its the other way around.
Cheers |

I understand what you're sayin, I don't think I'm "talk to us like we donīt know anything", I''m not trying to by any means. I do a lot of remixes and contests and stuff as well, so I feel educated enough to at least chime in.
I think its so much time spent talkin bout this goofy topic. I keep logging in hopes that there is some talks about the song itself and maybe what others are doin with it....
bla bla bla....
And I don't disagree that often midi files are made available, i dunno bout 90% but whatever if so, then consider this the 10% that does not. |

It's just my own opinion, but I tend to think that anyone who claims to be a producer should be able (or in the process of learning) to recreate a melody in a sequencer or keyboard after hearing it. I'm not saying this to be an ass, but being able to remake a melody yourself can only enhance your melodic creativity. The benefits don't stop there: understanding other's melodies will also help you create your own melodies with more ease.
sorry for the offtopic ! |

yeah i see ur point, why include the samples at all then ? why not just a snippet of the whole track.. now, that would have to set our creativity going.. :o
well, im not remixing cause there werent any MIDI, and why i dont make one myself ? cause i have tons of other tracks i want to remix more than this.. so if I were to make a MIDI i would make of another track.. im only speaking for myself though.. cause i cant be arsed to make a MIDI, and bitter cause of that. |

+ 1:toothless As i wrote before, i can understand the consept of just sending audio samples, if it was that they had a Talent search for a producer or something, but not in a single remix. Its the result of the track that matters, not HOW u did it, right?
