Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
 

yeah thanks. and thanks to silence7 and the guys who are hosting this forum.
the contest was big fun and very inspiring. lots of impressing mixes. the letherface mix was my first. I recorded the e-bass and used a korg ms-2000 synth and programed the beat. after the discussion about using other instruments I made the pinhead remix just using a drum loop, some drum sounds and loops of the soundtrack and the bbs. after hearing the "Felix Deluxe doom mix"(awesome mix) I had to make the loki remix. the drum in this one is made out of the soundtrack too. the timbales were pretty cool and I used some door smashing and hammering with some distortion for the rest.

it was nice to see how fast the best seconds of a 1 1/2 hour soundtrack got discovered and looped in your mixes. just great. Chromium05 - Joakizmo - Ulisse - Felix Deluxe just to mention my favorites. all great work.......

cheers to you all!

Well done bassdriver (y)

I, "Frankenstein", would like to take this opportunity to mention what sample I used. It was the music box, in reverse and chopped up. Just to clear it up in case people thought it wasn't from the movie :)

This comp has helped me learn more about making music (as I'm still in the early stage). Now I can put my myspace link in my sig :) (and maybe add some of you folk) I had my remix up there so didn't want to put the link on here and have people know I did it.

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
 

Well, first of all a massive round of applause for silence 7 for sorting all of this out and doing a great job. This was lots of fun.
Congratulations to bassdriver really good mix- I gave you one of the two "9"'s I submitted. It was a really high standard, well done to everyone. I am well chuffed with my top ten finish. I got some wildly varied marks though but I think a few people experienced that and I think thats because it was a well thought out comp with a good and varied source to use. Lets do another one soon with sleigh bells!
That is if you can sort it out Mr 7! I'll say it again and again - lots of respec for what Silence has done this year(y) (y) (y) (y) (y)

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
 

I noticed that, that is funny!! still doesn't change my mind though. I've listened to all the mixes you have posted, and i dont love them ALL...but i still respect the skillz. Brewed Trouble is one of my favs, by the way.

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
 

Thanks for all the "Thanks" guys...

I really don't do these contests' for me, I do them for you guys, I thought about contests' a little before I opened the site, and figured that if I ever had one it wasn't going to be a normal contest, I wanted something out of the ordinary, and I think I've shown that with the two we've had so far. Both with great success I might add.

If I would have just said, We're having a contest and the best remix wins, and let you guys pick the song and the pella, you wouldn't have been pushed at all to find those little golden samples in a giant landscape of sounds.

-------------------

Christmas Contest, Hmmmm I dunno. My Girlfriend knows the torment I go through putting these things on, I know I make it look easy :rolleyes: but it's stress above and beyond just running the site, which is stress enough. I will admit that I already have something picked out for a Christmas contest, I won't rule it out completely, but I will have to think about it, for the reasons mentioned above, and the fact that I'm not much of a Christmas person, the whole commercialism of the holiday everywhere you look has kinda soured me on all things Christmas. If I do a Christmas contest, you can believe me when I say that I do have something completely tWiStEd in mind.

-------------------

In closing I would like to say that in my mind everything went down all cool and smooth like, everyone seemed to play nice, nobody bitched for not winning etc... So there will be another.. I just don't know when. I would also like to say Thanks Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im thinkin maybe a 'nightmare before christmas' contest silence??

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
 

Nope I don't want to be sued into the poorhouse. I wish we could get away with it.

Nope, I have something that makes the Nightmare before Christmas look downright normal.

Hope you guys all had a nice Halloween.
