The battle is an allgear format, which means you can use any variety of instruments, samples, programs, etc. to make your entry. But specifically, the guy's voice from the MP3 provided being a feature in your song is absolutely required for your entry to be valid!!

AozoraOrigami hi! welcome.

"This is an allgear battle, kid. Use everything, including your soiled underwears."

do ask and join the irc channel. Plenty of experienced people who could provide more info.

"must come from the sample provided"

Then shouldn't this have been a remix compo instead of allgear?
I'm still kinda confused tbh

Remix battles tell you to use the contents exclusively from the bitpack.

Allgear battles with remixy bitpacks tell you to use both the bitpack and any other instruments you want to.

That's official, actually.

I'll occasionally be streaming the creation of my song at http://www.twitch.tv/tildewhite
and I'll spam it a bunch in #botb when I'm online. Live feedback and criticism is encouraged!

Aozora, we have one-hour battles literally every day! But the next major battle will probably be early this spring, so it could be very soon.

I never made an entry because I was more committed to NSF Mania. I actually didn't even start one.

I suspect Spring Tracks 3 is coming soon. I'll be waiting for when it happens...

something i commented on bknoxs entry for this compo but i think its worth being copypasted here:
"we should try getting in contact with him, usertesting.com has an email peek@usertesting.com
its gonna be unlikely because i read somewhere that almost anyone can be an user tester so there must be thousand of tims over there, plus its unlikely theyre gonna give his contact info like that but one can always ask to just forward the email to him
i would LOVE to see his reaction to all these songs :D"
