Yes, and got two responses.....

[Tammeloeki]

Since we all gave hannibal high rankings i think he'll probably be the winner... I dont mind the extra day Silence, everyone deserves a chance to vote. You also have the time difference with some people living in japan or new zealand or whatever

[silence7]

I'm awaiting two more votes.......

I think you guys will be surprised at how this all plays out. Voting was pretty wild,

These are the votes I have so far for one of the mixes. Obviously I can't tell you which one.

It was difficult to judge cos there were similar samples and also I found myself groovin along to a few and then thinkin "hey there's not too much of the film in here and then markin them down" The suspense is killing me - i aint entered one of these before and I am fearing the worst as mine was pretty amateurish compared to the rest. Those marks you gave out were strange though but i would say it was an average of 6

Yeah man, I hear ya on that..........It was definitely tough to judge....So I came up with a simple system.....There more the mix sounded like the movie the more points you got....There were alot on there that sounded real good, but then I was thinking....where are the samples......So automatic 5 for limited sample usage, and hardly no sample usage....under 5....like the "Jigsaw" entry...which I gave a 1 by the way...sorry......And the ones that had the most samples I gave a 6 and up.....The more clever or better it sounded I gave more points above 6....Like Blackula, I thought it was unique, the vocal change was cool, and used alot of samples from the movie.....so I gave it and 8.........Overall, I think I was pretty tought on the judging...out of 29 entries, I only gave 16 of them a rating of "6 or higher"....Hope that wasn't giving out too much information.......Oh yeah, by the way, that's persons average is actually a 4.5, above us........

[silence7]

Those weren't my scores by the way.... They belong to one of you guys....

I will at the VERY LEAST post up who won tonight. and post up all the details tomorrow night. Remember I have til' the 31st. But I won't make you wait that long. I have a spreadsheet for the voting, so if I don't get the other two votes by Midnight tonight, I already know who the winner is.

haha, i'm pretty sure i didn't win so i think i can say this, i made that as a joke mix. If you've ever seen the infamous buffalo bill scene where he dances, thats the background music. So i thought i would have a little fun by putting that in there to break up the monotony of the music. It gets a little boring hearing constant music about people getting eaten.

First off, didn't get the joke. Second, If i didn't absolutely hate a mix, it got at least a 4.

i mean joke mix as in i threw it together the night of the deadline cuz i was bored.

[CosmoKramer]

I knew it had to be a joke or something...cause there's no way somebody would really submit this as their entry....First thing I thought to myself was "you got to be kidding me"...But it made a good example for what kind of mix I gave low ratings to.......Well, Good Luck people....I know I'll need it...lots of it

[silence7]

With one hour to spare, I just received the second to last vote..... Arrrrrgh.. The lead just changed hands....

Watching the Exorcist II, Just got done watching the first one and will be watching part 3 after this, How appropriate...

You WILL have the result tonight.

Silence7

[CosmoKramer]

YAY ....I know I definitely didn't win....but the suspense is killing me...........would be cool to get ALL the ballots in tho...

[silence7]

This shit's killin me too, next time I judge and that's that!

Like waiting for Christmas when you're 6 years old.

I've got the eagle eye on the inbox.

Silence7

[CosmoKramer]

[Tammeloeki]

Congrats bassdriver... Youve finally got the appreciation you deserve...
Be sure to spend that $100,- on booze and throw a nice party

Cheers TD

[Tammeloeki]

By the way i think i deserve first price for the most annoying sample use on the vincent price mix... I was tweaking and twitchin untill it totally freaked my sister out and then i decided to upload it...

[chromium05]

F*ck me. Looking at the gory details voting spreadsheet - those votes really are erratic. Some of those have a 10 and a 1.

Just shows that everyone has different values when making, and listening to, music.

Well done Bassdriver.

[Joakizmo]

Congrats Bassdriver for winning and congrats to everyone else for making this a cool competition!

[psx]

Woot! Good job Bassdriver! Thanks Silence and everyone involved. I definitely learned a ton doing this one.

psx

[Phosphoros]

Congrats Bassdriver! This mix definitely deserves the win. Awesome work.

[Phosphoros]

I also want to give props to Joakizmo. Your mixes are among my favs in the contest.

[Joakizmo]

Thanks alot!
