The Best of MAC6 Monthly Audio CD

Summary

-For every MAC6 Contest I will release an audio CD with the top 10 ranking songs of the contest in the featured month.

Tracks

-Each CD will have 10 tracks (the 10 top ranking songs) as well as one added one minute long bonus track. Every bonus track is unique and different.

Details

-We want you to enjoy your CD to the fullest so we have added little things in it too.

-Panflits complete with composer bios by MusicalSerenity, MAC6 highlights, and more.

-Detailed MAC6 CD Art that will be added in for the November issues and all others after. (Still being debated on)

-Detailed MAC6 CD Cover created by Erkie or MusicalSerenity.

-Track Listings created by MusicalSerenity.

-Any other ideas? PM MusicalSerenity them.

Release Dates

-The Best of MAC6 Monthly Audio CD will be released 1 month after the results or 2 months after the beginning of the contest.

For Example: July Issue comes out beginning of October.

For Example: August Issue comes out beginning of September.

Fees

-For the top 10 rankers of the MAC6 the Audio CD is totally 100% free... including shipping which I will pay for unless you live ridiculously far away. If this is the case, we will discuss the price over paypall.

-For anyone else, a fee of $3.00 flat is required for the CD. Shipping is still free, but if you live far away you have to help me out here.

-It is TOTALLY OPTIONAL to accept the CD if you are one of the top 10 rankers... though it would be reccomended and appreciated if you did accept it.

Bonus CD

-You are aloud to purchase the Bonus CD which is exactly the same as the regular one but it has no Bonus Track and instead has a full-blown commentary by your one and only MusicalSerenity. Weee -_-

-This CD contains detailed commentation of each and every piece.

-And nothing else.

-It costs $3.00 for anyone who did not get in the top 10 and $1.00 for anyone who did. Same rules for shipping.

What You Need to Do

-If you get in the top 10 you get it for free.

-If you do not, you need to have a paypal acount OR you can send me cash VIA post office and pay the required fee.

-Shipping is free unless you live far away from New Jersey (Where I live).

-You have to either post in THIS THREAD your full adress, zip code, state, and city or you can PM the info to me.

-The CD's will be sent out by me at the beginning of the month after the results and will most likely arrive to you 7-21 days (Just guessing here) after you recieve my verification PM.

Ok. Enjoy :)

HOWEVER.

If you want you can PM me or when you post in this thread with your address you may request certain tracks to be added to the CD.

Every track you add on costs $.50

Every track you add that WAS NOT IN THE MAC6 CONTEST THIS MONTH costs $1.00

ALSO AND FINALLY THE LAST THING I HAVE TO SAY.

You may (totally optional) send me $1.00 VIA post office or paypal.

For every dollar you send, you get a raffle ticket.

At the end of the month I will pull TWO names out of a hat.

Those two split all the money that was sent to me... you have MY WORD I WILL NOT TOUCH ONE DOLLAR OF IT.

Of course, this is totally optional and I have no idea if it will work or if it's just a stupid idea... anyways

That's the end of this so start PMing or posting if you want it.

IF YOU ARE IN THE TOP 10 I WILL NOT AUTOMATICLY SEND IT TO YOU. YOU HAVE TO PM OR POST SO I KNOW WHERE U LIVE. And you get it free ;)

Hope this works out.

I want it... but i move in like a week so Ill pm you with my new adress when i move

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-11 15:35:33


no problem. I just need to know by the end of this month.

I'm shipping them out September (If I said October in the big thing... thats my mistake... the August one is being shipped out October).

Anyways, everything is ready... all thats left to do is the CD Cover, CD Panflits, and CD Art. The bonus tracks are funny : D yay.

I think so at least...

Woo!! free CD!!! uh...but i live in england...is that too far away? =P

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-11 16:23:03


Umm i'm truthfully not sure how much that would cost but i'm gunna be guessing $10-20....

The tracks are done... i'll do the CD stuff with Erkie tomorrow...

Then i'll buy and burn the CD's...

Then i'll find out about shipping and all that shiat.

;)

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-11 16:23:31


Great concept you've got there, but if i were you, i wouldnt give the money away again, use them to pay for the shipping! You're doing a good thing and i believe it looks like you want it to be a non-profit thing, but i certantly don't think YOU should pay for someone else getting a free CD.

See where i'm going with this?

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-11 16:40:36


Lol. Thanks much, that was the original idea but then I thought that you guys wouldn't be to keen on sending me money...

I mean... if you want to by all means do xD I'd have to use it for shipping, directly or indirectly (if u give me money and i keep it... but ship out the CD's either way i'm using your money see? Because i'm using my own money to ship em ;) )

Anyways I have yet to recieve anyone's address's which is worrying me.

I know Flashburn will post his next week... but I wanna make sure all you guys want it before I spend hours of hours on it ;)

~MS

Why do I keep doing this MS thing now? >_<

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-11 16:47:08

For the CD Cover... I was thinking i'd take the top 10 rankers avatars, glue em together (on the computer) so it's kind of like a collage or w/e thats called.

For example

(Kaija's Avatar)(SoulString's Avatar) et cetera
(Watercolours Avatar)(Flashburns Avatar)

2 rows 5 on each row.

OR I could just do a really big hamburger and write "The Best of the MAC6" and in the bottom right corner put "July Issue".

If you have any other ideas feel free to share... or just give feedback on these ones.

This is really cool, MusicalSerenity. I'll PM you in a sec.

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-11 19:56:28


This is a brilliant idea, but has anyone thought about the monthly theme's? I mean, let's be honest, CD sales aren't going to be up if they are a collection of "Best 30 second loops" or "Tankmen Themes". Or will they?

Not meaning to be negative, just trying to refine an already great idea.

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-11 21:06:09


If the music is good, they'll buy it.

No one pays for shipping unless they live too far away.

I'm not going to pay $50 to send a CD to someone who lives in Sweden.

For all I know, the price may be more... I'll have the official shipping fee rules by Friday.

See where I'm coming from?

top 10 = everything free unless you live extremely far away (and I will pitch in for shipping in that case)

you don't get in top 10 = You have to pay for the CD and free shipping unless you are far away (In this case I probably won't chip in....)

Dude, this idea is beautiful and to be honest I don't think it should have to cost you money at all.
Here's an idea: for people (like me) that live in Europe and stuff, don't bother sending a cd at all. Just e-mail them a zip-file containing the cover art, booklet, an mp3 of the bonustrack (or, if it's on NG, just point to it) or your comments. Subsequently, have them burn the darn cd themselves, it's not that hard AND it gives the artists more downloads!
Alternatively, have someone represent the Europe branch of your project :) that won't be me though - I don't have enough time and I'm sure to fuck everything up real bad.

Finally, I thought it would be nice to include the judges' reports in the booklet, along with scores etc, if you can fit that in.

Big pat on the back for this man, truly great.

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-12 13:07:03


Thanks much!

Ya, Rucklo and I were thinking about having someone represent each country and do the CDs.

Your idea is good too though, didn't think of it. This would be much easier on me but of course... it would be abit less professional ;).

Anyways, tell me what you guys think....

1. Me send em all out.
2. Me send em to the distributors of each country. (Post or PM if u want to be the distributor)
3. Me email em to ya.

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-12 13:09:01


The representitive idea sounds like a plan, i would do the UK branch, but i seriously lack money and my printers out of ink

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-12 13:15:37


yo, would be a great idea if u were putting the top 11 on the CD:( hehe, but seriously, check the postage to europe, i don't think it's gonna be more than a couple of bucks, $10-20 seems well over the odds. i'd much rather pay a few dollars postage than fuck around printing stuff out (i have no printer) but thats just me.
;ped

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-12 13:22:51


Once again, i'm just guessing.

If shipping is only a few dollars, hell I can handle that myself.

Just so you guys know; the CD's will definately come out... All I have left to do is the CD Cover Art, and Panflits. After that I just need to find out the shipping prices and ship em out.

What I was thinking of putting in the panflits:

Composer Bios
Composer Comments (Review Responses)
Judge Reviews
My reviews on the top 10
Exclusive reviews from... OMG MY MOTHER
Intro and Ending pages

If you have any other ideas feel free to share.

Ok, I just contacted the top 10.

And everything is done. I just need to find out shipping prices.

Love_Hate_War, do you feel ok by being the west Europe distributor?

Rucklo, can you do east europe and parts of asia?

MaestroSorrow, could you do canada?

This would solve all the problems and if you guys say yes or if anyone wants to do it in place of them tell me and I can send em off within the week.

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-13 12:41:00


O ya, one more question.

Do you guys want the tracks in ascending or descending order.

For example, Watercolour: MetalJonus: SoulStrings:Love_Hate_War: et cetera or

DJ_Padman1: et cetera et cetera and WaterColour last.?

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-14 15:46:58


I have gotten permission from

Watercolour
SoulStrings
Love_Hate_War
DJPadman_1
MetalJonus
...still waiting for 5 more and then i'll ship em off to the distributors.

Rucklo = East europe + asia
Love_hate_war = west europe
MaestroSorrow = Canada

Can you 3 please post here assuring me you guys have accepted to this? And if one of the 5 top 10 did not PM me or post saying It'S OK please do so or say no.

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-14 15:48:34


Um...how much will this cost me? West Europe is pretty big you know...

Response to Mac6 Monthly Audio Cd 2006-08-14 15:54:23


I'm not sure. I'm finding out shipping prices from here to Ontario (MaestroSorrow), here to england (you) and here to sweden (Thats where Rucklo lives right?). I'v heard varied stories some say it will cost $2 per CD others say $10 orhters say $5.

P.S. Check your reviews and drop me one for "Dedicated To (better quality)" ^^!
