Event id #3201 : Crack Intro Music Competition 2022
As long years have passed since the last time, getting officially blessed by Didi/Laxity, I have a great pleasure to launch another edition of Crack Intro Music Competition. Get acquainted with the rules below and let's go!
Basic Info:
- Deadline for entry submission is August 14, 2022 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
- Voting closes one week later at August 21, 2022 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
- Voting platform is CSDb but eventually votes will be processed with a trusty algorithm to weed out CSDb vigilantes as much as possible. No voting system is perfect but god knows I really tried :D
- As usual the main prize is CSDb fame and prestige but this time Top 10 entries will also be compiled as a nice oldschool cracktro themed music disk.
Rules:
- Multiple entries per musician are allowed - no limit here, go with the flow!
- Entry must be handed in as executable .prg (which might be embedded in .t64 or .d64) and optionally .sid. Preferably both ;)
- Max. playtime is strictly up to 1:02 min. at PAL rate, then tune must loop to any desired point. These 2 seconds extra are really the last resort so don't push it ;)
- Max. size is $1000/4096 bytes for music routine and content (preferably located in memory at $1000-$2000).
- Single speed only.
- Tune should sound as acceptable as possible on all SID models so pay attention to filtering and usage of combined waveforms ($31, $61, $71 won't work well on 6581). That said, you may set any SID model you prefer in .sid file but be sure some curious people will check it on various revisions ;)
- Music entries cannot be used in any cracktro or similar production before or during the compo (and its voting phase). So, dear crackers, hold your horses this time ;)
- This time no regular covers are allowed at all. Contestants might make at most a delicate nod to some cult cracktro theme.
- Visuals should be as modest as possible, not to distract voters from the essence which is audio content.
Rule set might expand if compo related discussion leads to it. I hope not :D
Good luck and have fun! |

Personal entrant wishlist:
Jammer
I mean, seeing just 3 pieces from Kamil in each single compo/party/whatever already feels like the work is not yet done. ;-) |

Quoting JammerQuoting MCMwhat a great compo so far.... new short sids for new intros !!i gonna use some of them for sure !! ;)=
Cool! Just wait till whole compo ends, plz ;)
As I just have noticed, this is not just a kind request but even a compo _rule_, I can only say, it's plain stupid and very unlike any other CSDb standalone competitions. Normally, it is: Has not been released/used before entering the compo +++ PERIOD +++. Once it's out there, how can you stop people from using it. In fact, someone could even sabotage other people's entries by releasing some cheap fake release with their music before voting has closed. |

That's kind of legacy after previous editions - maybe it's going to disappear next time, who knows :D |

TheRyk: infact it's already happened
Exterminator
uses Fission by Jammer, the sole existence of this lame crack could put the sid out of compo. Damn idiots never miss an occasion to show they are dumb as fuck. |

Same case was 5 years ago and then I seriously considered withdrawing my entry because of that shit. We'll probably ignore block on such cracktros during the compo and next time it will be phrased smarter. |

My 2p: Any rule that cannot be enforced by the entrants themselves cannot be a rule. More of a kind request to the rest of the scene, at best. But this also implies that a random scener who likes the tune and wants to use it in their prod would somehow know to read the rules and wishes of a compo the tune happened to be released in, which they probably won't. |

What this guy said! This is no party-compo but online. If some of these infamous peeps here releases a music-collection he can abandon the competition as a whole, go for it :-D |

Why does this rule exist in the first place? What's the rationale? |

The idea that you can post stuff online and then ppl will not use it because of some compo rule is funny :)
Indeed makes you wonder why noone released a collection yet :=) |
