Probably not, I'm just trying to do a subtle comment on some users' incompetence.

OK PEOPLE, IT'S OBVIOUS.

You don't follow the rules, you don't qualify.

This is a REMIX competition, not a composition competition.

If you are interested in a theme-competition check out the MAC, which runs bimonthly opposite of the MRAC

i've been busting my ass trying to make that melody work... I just can't... no offense to you HouseMasta, but next time you decide to run a contest, can you not sit in your seat and be like "LOLZ, i'm going teh rin the contast! i am to mak dis 'ere 10 min worth effort loop LOLOLOZ!"

I'm going to try one more time, and if still nothing I guess I won't be in. Already had to scrap 4 attempts thus far.

Haha trust me MR I'm helping him write a melody that has potential for january

If you keep complaining, then why do you even bother to participate?

Oh and don't you even start. You have no seniority in the AP. Your songs have some of the worst scores I've ever seen. When you put out a song with at least a 3.5 score holding come back and we'll start talking

naw I had better things to do. But why do you seriously bring up this shit?

A remix is anything short of composition. ReMix means to REDO MIXING of an element or the total track. This is an element. You create a track.

At 11/23/06 10:59 PM, PsychoJester wrote: Exactly, Redo.. mixing..
In this here thread, we have no previous mix, but infact, a bare body, of a horrible song, so it's a limited composition contest.

It's truly a matter of opinion. Nevertheless, it is a competition.

because I shouldn't be disqualified.

I only hear like half the melody. Did you cut or tamper with it or something? I swore one of the rules was that the melody must be clearly heard. That's probably the reasoning.

guys stop arguing i made mine and its gonna win so its all good http://jesse.eliteinsane.com/MRAC%20-%2001.mp 3

1) Why didn't you just post it on Newgrounds, and
2) I don't think it's a good thing when you flat-line my level meter, it hurts my head

jesus christ i can't believe this

i... i come onto this thread to make me a remix, i work really hard...

and i get insulted........

god... i can't believe this...

I'm just a fellow composer. I was just saying haha I heard quite a bit of distortion the track wouldn't be that bad otherwise. My first question was mere curiousity

Whether you choose to call this a remix competition or not, one of the rules clearely states you cannot alter the notes of the melody.

c'mon guys, this thread has been advertized on the front page; can we not represent the audio community with a bit of dignity and respect? rules are rules, and whether or not you want to call this contest a "remix" contest, the rules still apply. We all had to work with this crappy melody/bassline to form our own tracks. We all had to find ways to make it work without removing undesireable aspects of the melody/bassline. We did this through creative usage of synths, rhythms, counter-melodies and harmonies. Keeping the melody completely intact may not be the standard practice in general remixing, but, as seems to have been clearly stated, this isn't really a standard remixing competition. Of course you're free to voice your opinion on the matter, but there's no reason to get so pissed off, it's only a contest. In the end, it's up to the judges anyway.

ha ha!!! six more days until my submission comes in last even though it sounds bad-ass!!! yeahy yeahy!!!

Might be earlier I gotta consult Housemasta

ATTENTION - Chutzpah has finally decided that he or she will, in fact, be participating in the November MRAC. Those of you who are still working on your song can go ahead and save yourselves some time by discarding your progress thus far.

But seriously... I think it would be a good idea to let the person who wins this design the next melody since he or she will have obviously have proven themself worthy. And PLEASE for God's sake, untill you can keep two instruments in key, just write a melody and let us make our own bassline. I know this has been said a hundred times and I hate to add to all the trash talking, but I MEAN LIKE SERIOUSLY THIS HAS BEEN WAY TOO CHALLENGING. 10 for effort, however.

I'm ganna enter! =D

I hope i make sumthin good!!!

I read all the rules and stuff but i don't know if you guys changed any since theres like 6 pages of this thread and i'm new to this thread.....

and when is this ending?

PsychoJester dude give it up

you could change the tempo if you wanted, you just couldn't alter the melody, by way of taking notes away from it, but you could add to it if you so wished!

quit arguing, I mean on the internet it just makes you look like a retard

At 11/25/06 01:18 AM, PsychoJester wrote: this whole "audio community" is a complete joke.

dude, you're a complete joke.
you come in here arguing against everyone that taking notes away from the melody falls within the rules of this contest. you misunderstood the rules; that's a fact. you keep saying you don't care, and yet you keep coming back to defend yourself. just give it a rest; nobody here is siding with you. take a hint: you're wrong, and your negativity/stubbornness is not welcome here.

I just had the urge to back him up because hes been arguing forever now with nobody helping him out... but I finally listended to his entry and not only does it suck, but I concluded that according to his theories on music every single song must be the exact same melody only slightly modified. If I were to try and somehow create the "oppossite" of the melody House Master provided (without being good instead of crappy, of course), I would end up creating something along the lines of PsychoJesters's song.

Frankly, I think he just wants to draw attention and its working. Kinda like me when I hit "Post It!" just now in five seconds. Except I can admit that.

At 11/25/06 02:52 PM, PsychoJester wrote: no, taking notes away isn't "changing" you fools. It says you can't "change notes", guess what? I DIDN't CHANGE A SINGLE ONE. I don't think chaning, and removing, are the same thing, it didn't say leave it exactly the same. I think I have a freedom of interpritation, that's the majority of art, and this contest.

look mate you're very argumentative aren't you?

and the more argue about it, the more stupid you look! >: (

look the rules stated, "you had to use that melody" that melody meaning "the piece you were given" had to remain the same "unchanged" implying: nothing to be taken away

that same rule applied to the bass line too

got it?

Lol @ people who can't follow the rules/can't take critism.

Well, this is all an argument over interpritation. Both sides, have differen't interpritations, and will for ever keep their opinion, and since this is so, it's a rather large stale mate. The thing is, is PJ's side is more so about "music" which is what this about, and so his side in technicallity, is more reasonable.

Dude you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

PsychoJester interpretted it differently to everyone else that's a fact and I agree with you on that

as the rules state, the melody must be featured in all submissions.
To take notes out of the melody is effectively creating a new melody

along with that rule, the melody had to be clearly heard in the piece

so as a result PsychoJesters piece neither features the MRAC melody, nor is it clearly heard in his piece

so don't try and back up the losing side of an argument, PJ is clearly in the wrong with his argument

and everyone else barring yourself has a good enough understanding of the rules, not to have made that mistake

thus meaning they are on the right side of the argument, meaning your little speech is invalid

i clearly stated that it had to be submitted to NG therefore until you do, it will not be judged. take 5 min and submit it please. thanks

and as for you, i completely understand that you spent some time working on this and probably had a rough time with it as most people did. this MRAC is a test of skills and im sure you put yours in, however i clearly stated in the rules that 4 - Make sure the parts provided are easily recognizable so that it can be heard easily

i do thank you all for trying to submit your audio to this contest, but seriously, please stop badmouthing other people and destroying this thread. no one should hate another and its simply a matter of rules following.

~HM~

Dude I'm not even gonna bother arguing about this with you, as you don't have the brain capacity to comprehend the points I or anyone else is trying to make

Go back to school and come back when you'ed learned some stuff ok?

you took notes out, thus meaning you have effectively changed the melody

end of discussion! any more posts by you I suggest everyone just ignore as you really don't get it do you?

pj, you claim the melody is easily recognizeable. of course it is to you; you made it! I'm not saying I can't hear the theme in there; I can. but not without significant effort. you can't argue that taking away notes doesn't change the melody; what if I just used one note at the beginning of each measure? or one note period? chords do not make a song; have you any idea how many songs use the chord structure of pachelbel's cannon? they just took away some notes; does that make them all remixes? I'm sorry, but apparently this remix competition is different from all the ones you're used to, but somehow the rest of us have found ways to stay within the guidelines. thinking outside the box is all well and good, but when you enter a cat into a dog show, you've got to realize it's probably not going to be accepted.

Ok everyone stop, and read my post above. i took care of it. no more bashing
