oh SHIT son

87504

oh yes !!

87508

welp

i submitted my sample and only after i pressed the button i read "must be original content"

~~please remove "Yamaha RY30" immediately~~ apparently kits are ok. nevermind

87513

you god damn know it

87523

My time just isn't what it used to be, unlike the first (and only, since I abandoned ship later on) Detroit I participated in. I do in theory have a 48 hour window that is not immediately after the bit pack ends, but I'm probably not going to cash in on the theoretical window I am thinking of.

Making matters worse, I find myself not interested in the samples due to the amount of memory that I find myself wasting just to make one song these days (on the order of hundreds of megabytes... I might add that my first Detroit entry was a very large .it file! I don't want to do that again just for these kind of samples... five years has changed my mindset quite a bit.).

87540

ohai mark

looks like ill be trying one of these old-fashioned "remix battles" ive heard about

87541

YUSSSSS

87544

wait, how long is the bit period?

87553

PSA: please use the "submit bit" button on the sidebar, not the one on the bit list page.

the one on the bit list page is bugged and submits a remix entry instead of a sample. see bug report.

87562

so much music. @.@

let's get cracking.

87565

@m9m kits are chill afaik

it's clearly been too long since our last proper remix battle, look how backed up you noobs are with samplox

87569

kits have been okay in the past

87695

My life has taken a drastic change. I live with Bed Bugs now. I spend all of my time thinking about and combating bugs.

My laptops are in my room where the infestation is the worst. I sleep in my living room on a foam mattress, encased in a Bed Bug bed cover, covered in thick plastic, and surrounded by fly tape.

I'm also moving in three weeks so music equipment and laptops will be encased in Bed Bug bed covers and sealed inside large coolers. The coolers will be placed inside a shed at the back of my parent's yard for two years.

I'm posting this from my roomate's laptop. I'll get a new laptop sometime after I move. Enjoy Detroit XI I'll be watching when I can. <3

87698

good luck sc! bedbugs seriously are an all-consuming disaster jeez

87919

uh, what happened to the compo

87920

Sample Pack should be up and ready!

I'm gonna walk this dog.

87923

shit!! i want to enter this so badly but won't have internet till wednesday. shitfuck! gyms better make an entry

87926

An Entry is about all I can promise beard lol

87930

This compo makes me happy! I have been really jonesing for another Detroit! I think these are my fav majors. The community provides the raw materials, then they get hammered into synergistic masterpieces :)
Or they just get hammered, one or the other. Or both.

87935

so uh, do we only use the samples in that bitpack or can we use the other bits submitted as well? :o not too sure tbh sorry but ill start my entry with the 25 here

87936

only teh bit pack, ye noob

87939

This is going to be fun! The Yamaha RY30 sample has a cowbell in it, so we will be able to make some good music. There are no excuses now.

87953

I GOTTA FEVAH

87954

are fx (chorus, reverb, delay, etc) fair game or not

87955

m9m, you can manipulate the 25 samples anyway you choose, no matter what! The only rule of this type of compo is that you source material has to have originated from those 25 samples in some form. What you do with that source material is your business! For the good of the community, it's encouraged that you explain your process if you mangle them beyond recognition, though!

87956

oh, alright. thanks for the detailed explaination on what's fair and what's not!

87961

you are quite welcome, buddy :)

88040

I accidentally made a good composite sample while working on mine: http://picosong.com/WpRc/

88075

88076

so i DID spend 3 days on my entry...welp, theres always next time. :p

88081

nvm i saw that you looked up

88107

can't wait for the party :VV

88118

ROOF

88166

gg

88225

did anyone from detroit enter this

88227

I tried, but shit been real hectic up in the D while trying to max and relax. Read: MAX over relax (whatever[idk]);

here's the fb event if anyone is interested:
https://www.facebook.com/events/1583757001665555/

Blank and I are doing our best to make sure the live stream is decent.

88230

its unavailable!!

88231

@puke and blank just make sure one of you gets your tits out then

88232

fuckin wish I was in town for the show. Missing it by like two weeks :/

88251

oh dang the event is private so that would explain its unavailabilities
we had to private because we're basically the entertainment for a marching band convention or something
...well the info is in this battle's Info and Rules ;D/

88255

"Friday July 19th, 2017 @ 10:30 - 1pm"

But the 19th was Wednesday.......................

88258

haha fixed! :D/

88262

(part of me is hoping that his entry doesn't win)

88266

my entry will definitely not win. too short and some folks blamvoted me lmao.

88268

how can you be sure? What would be the motivation?
I think you're the front runner.

88270

For me, I kinda don't wanna picture something that's as emotionally loaded as my entry playing alongside...marching band stuff

But who knows, maybe it'll make for some extreme dissonance between band music, the funky stuff that everyone else made, and...Hey ( ﾟДﾟ)

88271

you can estimate how highly people vote your track (between 1 and 7) based on how many boons you get after the person has voted.

88273

MandraSigma: whoa I never knew about that! o:

88277

Well that's a drag then! I been gettin the nubs.

88310

when is the stream actually happening? i presume it didn't actually happen five hours ago since voting isn't even over yet

88312

It will be happening tonight from 10:30pm to roughly 1:30am (yes Michigan is in the Eastern Time Zone) (-:

88313

~~Will it be live streamed?~~

88322

between the lines

88335

congrats Savestate!

also I'm severely confused about mandra's placement, uhhh

88339

same here gyms.

Also, congrats Savestate and congrats gyms on a triumphant return to form! It has been so nice participating in this compo alongside you.
Feels like old times!

88342

second place in detroit compo is def a return to form(I always place second). wouldn't have it any other way

88352

My first Detroit, and it seems I have a lot to learn...particularly in the "use more samples and make a more creative song" department.

Nonetheless, it was definitely an experience, contributing samples and an ultimately rushed and unfitting song. I'll try to read the atmosphere of this major better next time, and hopefully I'll actually give myself more time to work on my piece.

88360

told u guys haha

88363

just do the austin i playback party at your house. we should have one of these sample remix battles every year! ^_^

88376

Well, this was a lot of fun! I'm actually surprised how high I scored, considering how quickly I put that song together.

MandraSigma, your song is one of my favs! I have no idea why it didn't score higher.

88381

simple, it's because somebody voted it lower xD. majors don't have votelogs, so people can vote however they want without any blowback. i don't really mind how the voting system is set up; i just know i have to do better next year and get blam voted more highly (3.5s-4.5s instead of 2s-3s).

88387

gonna be frank here and say that mandra's entry didn't stand out for me, so i was kinda confused about the discussion (controversy?) about it in this thread. i voted it decently high (65555) tho. "blam-voting" strikes me as a pretty pejorative term for someone not liking something and voting accordingly. or is it meant to signify something else?

88389

I'm mainly confused cos it has the most favorites out of any other entry, yet it placed 10th??

88390

blamvoting stands for either not liking the track or voting it low just to hate on it despite thinking it's ok. it's a very widely defined term in reference to how newgrounds voting occurs. not a bad thing, just widely defined.

also, people can favorite something and then regret it later. i would like to imagine that's what happened with brexit.

ps: thanks for being honest Jangler. i wasn't aiming high with my track and just wanted to have a laugh as a break from s3xmoditmania. good on you for noticing. :)

88393

yeah, i think fave/score discrepancies are an interesting thing in general. personally i think faves are more valuable? maybe some entries that get a lot of faves are polarizing.

88399

Hipsters. "dude it's got so many favs, I can't give it a high score."

88405

Less than 11 points separate the highest entry from the lowest. The highest possible score is 35, nobody broke 30. Strong entries got 5's and 6's, weak entries got 3's and 4's.

Therefore, I think people voted the entries close and probably didn't consider who might win or lose.
