S3XMODIT Mania ROUND 4: bahah you guys want more

So long KF!!! It was great havin' ya :)

Congrats y'all for making it this far.

ahaha always 7th-ish! looks like i have two weeks to go WELP IT'S BEEN FUN GUYS gallows humour etc. etc.

I'm happy I'm still in the race!

Considering my current record would put me on the brink of disqualification for this round, I'll have to put extra effort in it this time! :P

Also I'm happy you revived my beloved ^o^ emoticon~

I guess I'll be kicked you-know-where for saying this, but...

STROBE WINS AGAIN FOR REALZ \ ^,^ /

kf, how's about a week off between r4 and r5?

is anyone else's week gonna be sucked away by the thanksgiving holiday coming up?(hey it would also give everyone a nice breather before the semi-finals~)

i was right HAHAHAHAHA

Actually, if you postpone all the next rounds by a week, the last round will clash terribly with my agenda! (Just like most stores and supermarkets, we celebrate christmas before the actual day of christmas)

Although yeah, statistically I'm at a loss here. The probability of gyms making it to the next round is higher than the probability of me making it to the final round. ;(

Well I'm glad I've made it this far. Though I kinda doubt I'll make it further than this (Sorry if I seem too pessimistic).

Doesn't mean I'm just gonna forfeit this round though, I'm still gonna try!

@Brightentayle: I believe this is the first time Strobe has actually won a round in this tournament (and it was very tight between the top 5 this time, especially between me and Strobe) ;P

...actually we've had 3 different winners in the first 3 weeks! Will it become 4?

anamanaguchi is the real winner of all three rounds.

Fearofdark, that's not his only win on the loooong list, though. :D

And I thought the last pack was hard to improvise! I'll try my best.

btw LOL at "8bite chip sample"

haha yes, it is adorable

Strobe... you've attracted an imitator. As in... animation in modules. I feel like I just made a trainwreck trying to go that route.

I'm going to have to go ultra hard now... I dun wanna, I like being lazy! :(((

KungFuFurby i am pleased to hear about this new occupation!

Still... I have a bad feeling I'm trying too hard this round.

hahahaha I want to specify that I lieked the above post for the edit :)

Thankfully I am not going to haeit the afforemented post myself. That's because there is a grain of truth in not believing in trying too hard... I tried for years to make real SNES music for a real SNES game. Well, that came true now, didn't it? All you have to do is believe... ^_^

wow kff~

Kffffffff~~~ *looks up in the sky*

~~I wanted to do tracker animation! But laziness got in the way :(~~

(don't worry I hæit this comment too)

why cant i like and haeit comments at the same time anymore

ok, damn, this is one difficult samplepack. i had like 4 different ideas that i all threw away. i think i've finally settled on something though! *crosses fingers*

I give up... :( i'll just be finishing what I have for this round and turning it in around 10-12 hours from now (sleep included). I most likely won't make it to the next round, but i'm glad i participated. :D

how the f am i supposed to vote these?! wwwwwww

My votes are in.

Hope to vote in today!

voted! cmoncmoncmoncmoncmoncmoncmoncmon

hmm, what exactly were the rules when it comes to sample manipulation?

i assumed it was something like, "chop em up however you like and stick to your tracker's envelopes and format effects."

there's at least one entry where new samples were created and used. i expect they were made from editing and layering multiple source samples, but there's no way to know for sure where they came from.

I have 'oted.

Okay, this was definitely easier than I've thought. More passable entries than in R2, I'd say. ,_,

i think the rules of (extreme) sample manipulation are do whatever your tracker is capable of.

and you can really change how samples sound with changing sign, layering, retrigging, looping, filters, etc etc (you can do all of those in milkytracker and openmpt idk about schism tracker but probably that too)

i think kf said that this is allowed at the beginning of this whole thing!

yes, i guess i have a 'problem' with someone manipulating samples, recording the manipulation as a brand new sample and then using it. i'd like to see how everyone got their sounds.

i thought the rule the whole time was to only use ur dose tracker

wow

im absolutely happy to demonstrate how i created my sounds if people are interested, they are fully doable within the tracker, all i did was sample them as one sample instead. that was just to save channels!

0/ meeee~

I voted down some tracks for a different reason: I saw the chip-looping to be too extreme in some cases.

I used bd + chip + badboxing with some reverb for my psuedo-snare. I have a bad feeling that move backfired... plus, I came up with the idea because I figured I do the same thing I did with my remixes. I presume I took this perspective the wrong way???

Congrats bryface, and a good start on BotB!

Uber-ace tune!

I decided to produce a version of zzzzzeeeeeeeee grand finale with a tracker-made psuedo-snare. I still rendered the psuedo-snare as a sample, but now it doesn't have the luxury of Renoise to add some filters and reverb to everything except the badboxing sample (that's because on Renoise, I used non-lo-pass filters). Pattern 58 contains the psuedo-snare in all of its glory. https://app.box.com/s/49a8liq4eu94hqje0y53

I actually saved the .xrns of the original psuedo snare I made just in case. That came in handy.
