Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
I love this...Silence, i think you should run a contest every month, just for fun (no prizes necessary). I had a blast with it! And it's amazing how everyone's mix has its unique feel, nobody's sound alike!

A contest a month is a bit much for me, but if they keep going smoothly and there's no BS, and people continue to participate, I'll keep doing them when I get a wild hair and want to test you guys. I almost feel bad for last contest and made up for it with the current one, which is probably just as hard. I'm gonna find something one of these days that nobody will even attempt. Back to the mixing, only 14 entries? You guys sleeping?? Silence7

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
good looking out Silence. These contests must be a bit of work to keep track of everyone's entries and make sure nothing gets wacked. Cheers!
Slightly OT, but this got me to thinking about a project I did a long time ago. Basically I had a bunch of artists from mp3.com upload their songs, and then I'd stuff them into a playlist of sorts. Then when folks visited the site I had built, they got to listen to the "radio"(shoutcast). Each time a new song came on, while it was playing the visitor could vote, simply "hot" or "not". Then I kept a chart of who had the highest average. What was even cooler was that you (as a visitor) had to listen to what was being played. The original artist (or friends of) couldn't just show up and vote for their track without hearing at least a few other tracks. To emphasize that... their friends couldn't help but vote "hot" for a few tracks they heard while waiting for the "gimme" vote. The playlist was of course randomized every day so they didn't know what time their track was going to be on. I guess it's not really a contest, but as a remixer it'd be cool to say your track was in the top-10 over at beastiemixes.com for the past two weeks or whatever. Anyway, I thought it'd be cool if we did something like that. Just chuckin' it out there. Silence, I know we kinda talked about it a bit a week or so ago. I can build the radio/voting front-end and back-end if needed. I work full-time as I'm sure you do but I'm willing to work on it if there's any interest at all. Ok. Back to what you all were doing. Sorry for going off topic. psx

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
I can't say a lot about it right now but I already have a database guy on the team and some of the stuff mentioned is semi in-place as we speak. along with some other surprises.
I'm just busy enough where anything above maintaining the site is killin' me. Hence the temporary ban on new dj's. But i'm working on it. I Swear. By the way. two new DJ's tonight on Beastiemixes.. Go check em' Silence7

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
Same thing happened to me....I reinstalled Windows XP and lost about the first 30 Acid Project files......So If I wanted to, I can't go back and fine tune them.........I should've backed them up....I backed up the actual mixes, but not the project files......

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
Not to be an ass or anything, but using other non"night of the living dead"-samples for the "main beat" and voicesamples for intro's and stuff.. wouldnt that be considered cheating?

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
^^^ That's what I assumed - that ALL samples, loops and sounds HAVE TO COME FROM THE SOUNDTRACK (except the drums)???
There may well be a few tracks where some of the sounds seem a bit iffy. I did one using 1 sound that I EQ'd and filtered and played up and down the keyboard but it sounded so far removed from the original that I guessed that people may think it wasn't from NOTLD - so I didn't use it.

If the judging were up to me, the more of the actual soundtrack that made it into the mix the better, Obviously hard to do when you have SOoooo much soundtrack to deal with, but the more the better. Second I would be looking for creative uses of the soundtrack, a rhyme that is answered by a line of dialogue in the soundtrack, a little pass the mic action between the Beasties and the movie, if ya know what I'm sayin' among other tricks of the trade I'm sure you guys know all too well. Third would probably be based on how much the song overall made me want to get up off my ass and jump around my appartment. (not a pretty sight, but it's fun ) Judge it how YOU see it this time. Maybe next time we'll all work together for some rock solid rules before I spring a contest on you guys out of nowhere. BTW, you guys RULE!!! Silence7

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
All my entries are entirely made with the soundtrack.. even though you might not hear it... In one mix ive used a synth to give an extra boost to the chorus, but it uses the exact same chords the movie does...
I had the feeling that some stuff didnt come from the soundtrack too, but when i listened to it again if found these samples. Some are just a few secs long... Before you run into any conclusions you might want to check the soundtrack out again. regards Tricky Dick P.S. Lets stay positive guys, its not the end of the world if you dont win

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
I sort of fear a low rating due to people thinking i didnt used samples in the main bit, which I did, it'll just be hard to find

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
hey fellas. just don't let us get this too serious. i really don't like serious music and band contests at all!
before i made my mix (or 2 or 3 mixes) i checked the tracks that were already uploaded and i thought to hear some sounds which were to hi-fi to just be sampled from the original soundtrack. so maybe i also used 1 (or 2 or 3) sounds to boost some parts a bit. probable i made a track (or 2 or 3) just with bb rhymes a drum loop and samples of the soundtrack. i don't see any problem about that. sure the best sounding mixes with the "closest to the soundtrack" vibe will get the extra points. and hey Joakizmo and chromium05 i'm pretty sure that your mixes will rock the contest!!!!! to all out there who didn't mix yet: get going! judgement day is coming soon. |

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
well, i just went through all of the mixes up so far and I'm pretty impressed, I think only one or two have really showed up to me as exceptional, of course I have no room to talk, mine is similiar to most of the ones out there now, It keeps tone to the movie, although a few of the ones up do kinda go against the movie in ways of it sounds happy and shit, idk, sounds wierd to me hearing people talk about getting eatin and then i feel like dancing, oh well, mine will be up within the next few days so everyone can make fun of it when it comes out. just felt like expressing my views on this

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
I can't decide if it's a good idea to have the already submitted mixes available before the judging starts or not. I guess we'll find out after this one's done.
I was thinking it would be cool if when we voted, we could add a comment or 2 stating why we voted like we did. "I didn't like the added synth. Drums were bangin though." etc. psx

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
Next time I'll put them all up at the same time and watch the server melt as everyone is trying to download at the same time
It would be much easier for me to put them all up at the end. But it's kinda good for you guys to feed off of each other's mixes and improve on what you've heard. Feeding the fire so to speak. Silence7

Re: Beastiemixes.com Halloween Remix Contest
True, it is good to feed off of what's already been done. I know when you posted the first few I tried my best to avoid listening to them. But I think in the end it definitely pushed me to make a better mix.
psx
