- sample pack -
you can use as many or as few of the samples as you want,
but the majority of sounds in your track should come from
the sample pack.
- external samples
- by request, you are allowed two extra samples of your own
to add variety.
- vsti - maximum
of two can be used. when song is submitted, a text file containing
which vsti's were used must be accompanied. the vsti can be
anything from a sampler to a synthesizer. if sampler is used,
only samples from sample pack can be used. only one sound
can be used per vsti with exception to a sampler which must
use the given samples. multiple instances of the same vsti
count as two.
- synthesizers -
only one external synthesizer sound may be used in this competition.
when i say external synth, this means like a korg triton.
If a drum machine is used, then only one sound can be used
from it unless you use the samples in the pack. include in
a text file what synth was used.
- samplers - hardware
samplers can be used, but only samples from the sample pack
can be used on them. include what sampler was used in the
text file. people with external samplers have a slight advantage
cause it doesn't take up a vsti. them are the breaks i guess.
- effects - use
as many effects as needed. this includes plugins or outboard
gear.
- software - any
sequencer, looper, sampler, synth can be used. note: if software
used is available as a vsti, then it counts as one vsti used.
for example: reaktor. If a sampler is used, only samples from
the sample pack can be used. reason, fruity, orion can be
used but only if samples in the pack are used. in a text file,
tell what software was used. samples can be edited to a degree,
but don't try to turn drum loops into synth strings. and remember,
honesty is the best policy.
- real instruments
- guitars, drums, violins, ect can be used and definitely
encouraged. although it maybe hard to distinguish real instruments
from some sound fonts, honesty is the best policy. for fairness,
do not use say it's real if it really came from a sound font.
also, thanx to foziebear, it was told that a real instrument
is in essence sampled after it is recorded. this is true,
but at least it's being played by human hands. list all real
instruments played in the text file.

j u d g e s + j u d g i n g ]
- there are three judges.
they are tk421, gilez, and zeppelin
- judges cannot participate
in the competition.
- judges cannot be biased
in any way about the genre of music.
- judges are not to
here the music till bracket is setup.
- any judge to be found
corrupt will be sent to dave powell's home to give him a rim job.
- judging: two songs
will be paired up against each other randomly before even being
listened to by the judges. a vote will be placed
- by the judge on which
one he or she fells is better. a short review will be given why
that judge voted for the song. this will continue till there is
one winner. how many rounds there are is determined by how many
entries we have.
- judges will judge
on how sounds are used, the complexity, ear candy, melody, etc..
they will not judge whether they just hate the genre. see dave
powell

- songs are to be in
submitted in mp3 format, maximum encoding at 192k, with the encoder
of your choice. ftp site will be posted later to upload to.
- any questions about
the rules should be directed to the ops in #audioappz. do not
directly message the ops, ask in the channel, and somebody will
message you with clarification. when in doubt ask.
- these rules were made
by zeppelin, and slightly edited by [[chaos]]. if you don't like
them, suggest something new for the next competition. we are always
open to suggestions. thanx, and have fun!
