Event id #2636 : Crack Intro Music Competition 2017
After the geat success in 2013, the time has come for another Crack Intro Music Competition!
Several people have asked for it and finally it happens.
This time I have a skilled co-organizer with Jammer.
Competition runs from September 29, 2017, until October 29, 2017. So you have a full month to deliver your creations.
Please use this thread for questions, discussion and everything else concerning this competition.
THE RULES (same as in 2013, worked very well):
- max. playtime 1:00 min. (PAL playing speed), then repeat or fade.
- max. size: $1000 bytes (preferably located in memory at $1000-$2000)
- single speed only
- no SID model preference (should sound good on all SID models)
- must be handed in as executable format .sid or .prg (might be embedded in .t64 or .d64)
- no graphics or even intro-like presentation is allowed to be included.
- Productions using the music might be released after the voting deadline. The voting should be focused on the music itself.
- the participating musics may not have been released or used in a public production before.
- multiple entries per musician allowed.
Deadline for entry submission is October 29, 2017 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
Voting closes one week later at November 6, 2017 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
Voting platform is CSDb (with all disadvantages it may have), therefore entries have to be posted here.
Entries will be ranked by weighted average of CSDb votes. Entries with the same weighted average are ranked by their percentages of 10s, 9s, etc.
No prices to win, just the fame. May the best creation win! |

I have a philosophical question:
I started developing a tune in GT with settings to 6581 and do my filters there, but actually don't own a real 6581 and still like the outcome "personally" more on my 8580 (which is the case for almost *all* 6581 tunes except those with cutoff 0). Did I make a 6581 or a 8580 tune? |

Well. That answer brings up the next question: are SID tunes done in an emulator really SID tunes? ;-) |

The real question is are SID tunes even music?
"Crack Intro MUSIC competition 2017", huh? "An exercise in futility 2017" would be a more appropriate title.
Thanks, Jammer, you HONK! :D |

Quote: Raf, name is one thing - you can't help it. Second thing is people usually don't want to give bad ratings and if entry doesn't meet their expectations, they simply pass. Or they are plainly ambivalent about it which results in the same action. You're probably more than aware that your effort is not entirely on par with Drax (but pretty decent compared to your earlier works which reflected in my evaluation) ;)
Jammer, you should be politician I think ;)
Actually I didn't take voting here seriously right from the start but I was concerned more about *number of votes* between those "famous" and "unknown" than name/friend voting, you seem to connect that together though. I'm fully aware that I'm not on the top at SIDding but I find it fun anyway.

Little trouble in the meantime:
Shades of Grey
Guys wanted to be nice and used my tune. While I feel really flattered, according to rules my tune has to be put out of the compo :/ |

New strategy: Secretly make a musicdisk of all the tunes in the compo, then release it just before the deadline. Also release another compo entry (that isn't in the musicdisk). It will win on walkover. |

Jammer: Leave it in. It's not your fault. Personally I thought this rule is/was about not re-releasing already used stuff in the first place. |

I've already put it out of compo for time being but I'm waiting for opinions ;) |
