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! |

Big thanks to all participants for submitting their gorgeous entries! <3 Now, it's time for...
*** VOTING PHASE ***
which ends August 21, 2022 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
I'd only like to remind that votes are collected from CSDb but eventually processed with custom formula which was already used during 25Hz and '83 compo. There are no arbitrary weights applied but votes are counted exponentially instead. So one vote counts as one, two votes count as four, four votes count as sixteen etc. If you wanna fair results - take your time to vote on every entry - the more the merrier ;)
Have fun!
BTW. Votepack and DeepSID playlist in the making ;) |

I'll try my best :-) Hard to keep track of your votes with that many tunes. |

Quote: Eggshell and Blu1min are not in the compo anymore without any notice?
Eggshell turned out too big as a file which I sadly overlooked when it was the right time :( Archmage withdrew it on that basis. Blu1min was withdrawn by Adam due to his personal reasons. I thought both entries will remain flagged as out of compo but authors decided to make them compo unrelated which I absolutely respect.
Ok, here's voting pack:

Big thanks for the voting pack, really helpful. :)
I'll be voting on all entries except my own; I don't normally do CSDb voting at all but am happy to make an exception for the purposes of this compo. 68 entries... nice going everyone! |

Epic work, both you contestants and Jammer for preparing the voting pack. <3 I was going to do something productive tonight, but maybe I'll just listen to some sweet sid tunes instead... |
