It's over 500 megs, so warn dial-uppers that it isn't feasible - I could send out cd's if there are a couple people that want the files that are on dialup.

In addition to me & xfinsterx, farview has also graciously agreed to judge.


Prizes:

First place prize: a "CAD KBM 412 kick drum mic", courtesy of xfinsterx:

Second place prize: 4 "vintage" RCA 12AU7 tubes, courtesy of mshilarious. This picture is GE, but that's my fault, I told xfinsterx wrong before he found this photo. But hey, they're "matched" tubes (OK, not really, but they look the same!), they're vintage, they're US made, what more do you want?!

Rules:

Feel free to remix, edit, chop in half, time shift, whatever.

There are no "rules" concerning how you mix this, well except that you enjoy yourself!

Entry page link.

I will post all "final mix" uploads to the following link -

http://www.lightningmp3.com/pmc11.html

Anyone can use www.lightningmp3.com to upload their mixes. You may want to tell them to include their HR name and pmc11 in the file title.


Deadlines:

You must download the file by June 14.

Contest ends on June 15.

Judges, please submit your scores to me by June 30, I'll be travelling after July 4 so I wanna get results out before then.

We'll use Blue Bear's familiar seven category system, on a ten point scale for each category. Our decisions are final! Final score is based on average of three judges' scores for all categories. In the event of a tie, mix quality rating will break the tie.

In the damn unlikely event that there's still a tie, then the tied song with the greater dynamic range, defined as peak level minus RMS level, will be declared the tiebreaker :D

And if two songs are still tied after that, then the prize will be placed equidistantly between the contestants, and you can race/wrestle/fight for it! :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :D :(


Good luck and enjoy!
 
Prizes!, Prizes!, Prizes! :D

Because if you heard my mix of it, you'd feel obligated to improve it! :rolleyes: Just kiddin.. :)
 
Anyone who has heard my mixes knows that I don't stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning. And to be honest, I don't even need the grand prize (I don't mic drums). But I will download the song and give it a shot.

After years of mixing rap music I just figured out that I can make anything sound like Rap.

I need a reference CD. :o
