Round 1 Results:

I was stunned at points listening to everyone's submissions, particularly your compositions and unique individuality. Usually, I'm used to listening to hundreds of submissions at a time. These, I thankfully had the opportunity to cherish. Let's see how everyone did!

Overall: Three-way tie. Congratulations to @anthonyragus, @g2961 and @ki1 for a 9/10!

Best production: Four-way tie, @anthonyragus, @g2961, @ki1, @ireadysucks with a swagging 9/10

Best mixing: @ki1 with a 9/10 in classic trance.

Best mastering: @g2961, 10/10. Those $3 headphones are putting in work!

Best style: @anthonyragus, @ireadysucks, 10/10. Both of your pieces were outstanding and ambitious!

Runners up: @monsanto64, @neonskiesofficial, 9 style and 9 mastering respectively, tied 7.5 overall. @monsanto64 also linked samples. Nice bonus!

Here are everyone's scores.

As you can see, we're probably gonna need a tie breaker next round. @TaintedLogic, would you be willing to do the honors? It will be a simple binary decision, either for tied head to heads or tracks tied for 5-6th place. If not, don't worry. I'll think of something!

One to two more votes, and the competitors' preference will be counted, replacing the first of three coin tosses with your choice of 1v1 victory (Angry react) or high-score victory (Heart eyes) respectively.

Remix assignments will be announced after a short break, on May 20th. The coin-toss will be final June 10th.

If we had an odd number of competitors, which I was hoping would not happen, my super secret last ditch plan was ... have one competitor compete against me. Only I would have to select something other than my last single for them to remix -- or they would have basically completed round 3 early lmao. XD

That would be super complicated for all involved. It might even change how many people advanced into round 3. We would have to opt for head to head for it to be fair for everyone, and a tie-breaker to judge that bracket.

Anyway, see you guys on the 20th with the remix brackets!

yo, I jus finished mine:

You're not late! The deadline is tonight at midnight.

@StixDevs, @CrimsonKero, that's a little less than 4 hours from now. Do either of you need a deadline extension due to extenuating circumstances?

Unfortunately no! But I realize midnight of the 10th could be confusing.

We're going through a rash of summer storms where I live, so I could have to extend the judging deadline by a few days. With that in mind, I'm fine with extending the submission deadline to midnight tomorrow with no penalties, and possibly fup to 4 days if everyone's opponents are cool. Shit happens. No sweat.

Still waiting on @StixDevs as well.

I could even tweak my song in those four days, so that shouldn't be an issue.

I can't wait to hear the remix

Can't help but always give a little side-eye if the deadline gets extended because of a few individuals, I get it for a contest this small but it does feel a bit unfair to those who did submit on time

Like there is a deadline; after that it's too bad

That's just me tho, you're the gamemaster :p

I understand where you're coming from.

I think the biggest disadvantage is that the 'opponent' can already listen to the remix you published and therefore knows what the expectations are.

I also think the resulting time pressure might affect the quality of the track — though that could also have a positive effect.

Other than that, I believe everyone still has the same conditions, since the extra time can also be used to improve your own track — which means the competitor won't know what's still coming.

Do you see any other disadvantages for those who submitted their track early?

It's moreso because it feels like the deadline itself is not punishing whatsoever, which I think should be the case in contests where money is on the line

Not following the rules? You ain't going through. Simple as that. Of course there are personal reasons why one might not be able to submit in time but that shouldn't be affecting the rules (although like I said, with a contest as small as this one it's absolutely excusable). Imo it just feels more rewarding if you hold your ground steady with the deadline to those who do make it

If you have received a mail already with your stems, disregard. I will send out a new one just as soon as they upload properly to Google Drive.

Everyone who submitted a track for Round 2 will receive a copy of stems, regardless of results!

Due to the recent deadline extension and tie resulting in late announcement of scores, I will shift the final round dates a couple of days in the future. No extensions will be provided for the final round, except for emergencies.

How is everyone doing so far? Fingers crossed?

That's correct.

Well, more like, half of everyone will move on to round three to compete for cash, and everyone is free to remix stems. Just clarifying because I did get a question about that.

Still waiting on @TaintedLogic to swoop in and break the tie.

Sorry to pop in so late -- my girlfriend was actually involved in a minor car accident earlier today. Everything is fine, no bodily injuries, just a little bent out of shape. Literally and metaphorically.

Anyway, I'm back, and the scores are in!

In case that's too small, read on.

Advancing to Round 3 are as follows:

@KI1 -- Your opponent may have forfeited the match, but you came in with a scorching 9/10!

@G2961 -- It was close, but metalstep and $3 headphones was a resounding success. 9/10

@anthonyragus -- That live trumpet really sold it for me. Great recording, and smooth playing! 9.5/10

@Jotrocken -- Combining many influences did you many favors. Exciting and spirited remix! 8/10

@monsanto64 -- I've never heard someone make a single note bassline work. Very moody mix! 7/10

@3manonmusic -- I needed help for this one! Maybe @TaintedLogic can say some words? 7.25 A - 8.625 T

Top 3 scorers, receiving frontpage:

@anthonyragus

@ireadysucks

@KI1 and @G2961, tied for 3rd overall

Special commendations:

@Aalasteir, for mandating a tie-break, and a seriously adventurous interpretation of the source. I've fallen in love with the distorted haze you've cultivated in your music, and I hope you make more like this in times to come.

@ireadysucks, for a slamming remix. I had a REALLY hard time judging between your and anthonyragus' pieces. Both were of exceptional quality, and I was jamming. Pure ear candy.

@CrimsonKero, for staying the course, and despite needing an extension, coming up with a pretty cool theme. That's something I don't see a lot of people do -- A, follow through, and B, dare to be different! I love that about your music. "Can't Do Shit" is also a bop. One of my favorites out of the remix assignments!

@Neon-Skies, nice, hard-hitting master. Also, congratulations on hitting 19k listens! You fully encapsulated the 2015-2017 era of Geometry Dash music, and I enjoyed your piece so much. You also gave G2961 a run for his money! At some points, I was concerned his $3 mixing headphones might do him in!

@chordproduction, you had some crazy wild melodies going on in your piece, and I really enjoyed your use of soundfonts. All in all, very adventurous and fun to listen -- especially since soundfonts are my favorite thing. If you ever want to talk shop, hit me up!

STEMS

Now that the round is concluded, everyone should have received stems. That's right. Whether you made it or not, you are free to remix my stuff as you see fit, and I'll be happy to commemorate your work on the official playlist when all is said and done!

Nestled in the files are some handy notes for the libraries, FX, and samples used, for those interested in my sound design. And by the way, do feel free to chop samples as you please, if you hear something you like!

Please note, VOX denotes files with vocals. Bass and guitars are minimally processed with amps. Most other files are dry. Send tracks are denoted with special instructions.

PLAYLISTS

Round 1

Round 2

Round 3 - soon to come!

FINAL ROUND!!!

Since we're running behind schedule, everyone may start on their tracks immediately, pronto, time now.

Round 3 was supposed to end July 6th. The new date is July 11th.

That's when the clock strikes midnight, and Thursday becomes Friday, July 11 in the US, to be exact.

After which I will take one day to review everyone's submissions. If everyone finishes before July 4th, I will offer a 3-day grace period for everyone to review their tracks before judging, so everyone can get their prize money!

Victory Conditions: Highest overall score. Ties will be ranked sequentially via tie-breaker.

Rules: Standard audio portal rules. Remix or cover as you see fit. However, the more of your individual flavor you inject into your work, the higher your likelihood of winning!

I want to hear your personal interpretations and style. It's the only thing that will keep 6 different iterations of a song I've heard 100x while composing and mixing interesting, haha. Go nuts!

The only hard rule is that your remix/cover must incorporate the source in a way that is recognizably derivative. What that means is up to you, whether that's incorporating lyrics, melody, structure, samples, etc.

Other than that, anything goes.

PRIZES:

1st Place - $100

2nd Place $50

3rd-5th Places - $25

And frontpages courtesy of @TomFulp!

Now, you've heard what your competition is capable of. Do what you gotta do, and beat them to that prize money!

Dude, another vehicular-based incident? You guys can't seem to catch a break. Hope your missus is dealing okay - even minor accidents are hard to get over.

Looks like I'm climbing through this competition the same way I'm climbing the corporate ladder - by default 😎

BIG congrats to everyone, I'm feeling very lucky it came to 1v1s. I'm adding this Frontpage to my list of NG accolades I'm printing out and framing.

It's very humbling having a look through these stems, I clearly have a LOT left to learn...

All going well, I'll have something ready to go before I'm put out of action by surgery on the 9th.

Good luck to everyone!

it do be like that sometimes

@3manonmusic -- I needed help for this one! Maybe @TaintedLogic can say some words? 7.25 A - 8.625 T

Top 3 scorers, receiving frontpage:
@anthonyragus
@ireadysucks
@KI1 and @G2961, tied for 3rd overall

Special commendations:
@Aalasteir, for mandating a tie-break, and a seriously adventurous interpretation of the source. I've fallen in love with the distorted haze you've cultivated in your music, and I hope you make more like this in times to come.

@ireadysucks, for a slamming remix. I had a REALLY hard time judging between your and anthonyragus' pieces. Both were of exceptional quality, and I was jamming. Pure ear candy.

@CrimsonKero, for staying the course, and despite needing an extension, coming up with a pretty cool theme. That's something I don't see a lot of people do -- A, follow through, and B, dare to be different! I love that about your music. "Can't Do Shit" is also a bop. One of my favorites out of the remix assignments!

@Neon-Skies, nice, hard-hitting master. Also, congratulations on hitting 19k listens! You fully encapsulated the 2015-2017 era of Geometry Dash music, and I enjoyed your piece so much. You also gave G2961 a run for his money! At some points, I was concerned his $3 mixing headphones might do him in!

@chordproduction, you had some crazy wild melodies going on in your piece, and I really enjoyed your use of soundfonts. All in all, very adventurous and fun to listen -- especially since soundfonts are my favorite thing. If you ever want to talk shop, hit me up!

STEMS

Now that the round is concluded, everyone should have received stems. That's right. Whether you made it or not, you are free to remix my stuff as you see fit, and I'll be happy to commemorate your work on the official playlist when all is said and done!

Nestled in the files are some handy notes for the libraries, FX, and samples used, for those interested in my sound design. And by the way, do feel free to chop samples as you please, if you hear something you like!

Please note, VOX denotes files with vocals. Bass and guitars are minimally processed with amps. Most other files are dry. Send tracks are denoted with special instructions.

PLAYLISTS

Round 1
Round 2
Round 3 - soon to come!

FINAL ROUND!!!

Since we're running behind schedule, everyone may start on their tracks immediately, pronto, time now.

Round 3 was supposed to end July 6th. The new date is July 11th.

That's when the clock strikes midnight, and Thursday becomes Friday, July 11 in the US, to be exact.

After which I will take one day to review everyone's submissions. If everyone finishes before July 4th, I will offer a 3-day grace period for everyone to review their tracks before judging, so everyone can get their prize money!

Victory Conditions: Highest overall score. Ties will be ranked sequentially via tie-breaker.

Rules: Standard audio portal rules. Remix or cover as you see fit. However, the more of your individual flavor you inject into your work, the higher your likelihood of winning!

I want to hear your personal interpretations and style. It's the only thing that will keep 6 different iterations of a song I've heard 100x while composing and mixing interesting, haha. Go nuts!

The only hard rule is that your remix/cover must incorporate the source in a way that is recognizably derivative. What that means is up to you, whether that's incorporating lyrics, melody, structure, samples, etc.

Other than that, anything goes.

PRIZES:
1st Place - $100
2nd Place $50
3rd-5th Places - $25

And frontpages courtesy of @TomFulp!

Now, you've heard what your competition is capable of. Do what you gotta do, and beat them to that prize money!

Wow, such kind words, and on top of every remix review! Now that I've listened to all the remixes in the playlist again, I want to say: You all did a great job.

I downloaded the stems yesterday, and I can tell you upfront: I'm a little intimidated. This will definitely be another challenge. But as it turned out last time, that's probably a good thing, and we all have enough time.

I hope you and your girlfriend feel better soon – and now it's: Ready, set, Re-Remix!"

Second place yet not advancing... Alas, this is what happens when you go against anthony ragus

Thanks again for all the essays of feedback (and the front pages!), gave me a lot of things to think about music-wise (and something to do when I was 'facing' writers' block)

Ok brb gonna go cry and make emo breakcore or something :)

I'm so sorry, that's terrible. It's good there wasn't physical harm.

Thank you for your nice words, here is for round 3. I know I've lost, but I just wanted to finish the song.

Congrats to G2961! I'm honestly kind of shocked that I was even that close...
