1. The contest is being judged on originality of remix, not sound quality. |

| Need the midi files, even just for the lead!! Are there any programs that can extract the midi sequence from a wav file? Otherwise I guess its just trial and error trying to play it on the keyboard. :conf: |

If you use Windows you should be able to google "wav to midi converter" or something. When I had Windows I remember finding a couple freebies and cheapies that didn't do a bad job.
Edit: I'm away from my computer (on my BB now) otherwise I'd post a link...and out of town with no access to Ableton and my controller until Saturday otherwise I'd hammer it out. |

Looks like the winning track is going to (potentially) get an international release - good for exposure but not for your bank balance. Anyway, there's some goodies to be had from beatport for winning.......
Point #10 included for japan4.... |
meh...:( |

Must say that I am getting a bit sick of this .
- You want to hold a remixcompetition, because,
- You want to discover new talent, on which,
- You can probably make a lot of money out.
And that you let us pay to download some damn samples!!!
You guys might disagree but I am getting so sick that we have to pay for the samples to enter a remixcomp. Indeed, the original track is included to, but if I don't want it. Is not like you can create a entire remix based on the two free samples you can download.
this, I ain't entering!!
Sorry for the faulty language ;) |

| Not gonna lie..."Far Away" is a one hell of a bland track. I love Giuseppe and Paul...but I was shocked at the out come of this track. |

which is exactly why I never enter these things. They are only there to make money for the label and Beatport/audiojelly etc. A proper remix comp would give us the samples free AND the midi files.
Its a shame because I believe some talented producers would be discovered if they did proper remix comps. |

I agree. Although I haven't listened to much PVD, this track doesn't exactly make me want to explore further. |
