Event id #1491 : C64.sk Cover Compo #2

<Post edited by CreaMD on 3/1-2013 11:24>

The most delayed compo sequel ever - CoverCompo#2 is finally here!

When: 1.1.2013 - 22.1.2013 (3 weeks)

Rules:

0. As with previous C64.sk compos. Compo entires will be published on-fly (in order as they come)
1. send your compo entries as SID files **WITH ALL CREDITS** to creamd@c64.sk . This version wont' be released until the compo is over.
2. Compo is *ANONYMOUS*. During the submission phase, only the uncredited MP3 version of the tune will be released. The name of the tune will be published.
3. Don't upload your entries anywhere until the compo voting phase is over (voting will be organised standard way at c64.sk). The voting phase will be closed 2 weeks after the compo deadline (which is at January 22. 2013)
4. Your tune must be a *COVER* version (or remix) of already existing music. Please, when sending e-mail provide also additional info about the tune. Credits, your comments (why you loved the original, or whatever comes into your mind). Thanx!
5. One entry per musician.

Hint: Make cover of your favourite "maintream" music. Chipmusic or mod covers are accepted too, and can be interesting if made well, but this compo is aiming on things you can hear in radio, or buy in music stores.

Don't forget: send your stuff to creamd@c64.sk with all credits included.

Have fun!

Oh first it just said: "3 entries" without "submitted so far" that's why my question. OK! 1 entry it is! Why is that if I may ask?

what an odd question really. isnt "one entry per person" pretty much a standard setup for pretty much any compo?

Because "one entry per person is pretty much a standard setup for pretty much any compo". I respect that standard in 99% of compos I organize.

OK! Sorry for asking! A bit overenthusiastic!

Quoting Xiny6581

The files are recorded straight from the C-64 to wave formats and then encoded to 192khz CBR mp3.
The files have and NEVER will be improved with any kind of dynamic effects, such as Noise gate, Compressor, Maximizer or even Normalizer. Nope what you hear is the DRY source directly from the C-64 Audio out. The only thing I've done is to ground the audio(ground) signal to prevent any 50hz hums from that ugly RF-Modulator. Oh, by the way on the 6581R4AR machine I have even removed the nasty RF-BOX.


Wow, your modded C64's are really quiet. Dead quiet! Quieter than my HardSid! ;)

Btw, is there any reason to why some mp3s have 2 channels? And are you able to provide a mono lossless (e.g. the wave file itself) too?

Yeah, FLAC would be nice.

I'll get a bit nerdish here ;)
Just "192kbps" isn't enough info by the way, VBR is already a standard, and it's even important what preset in the encoder you use (not to mention which encoder, which is even more important, many encoders cut off above 18,5kHz as standard, for example). I'd suggest LAME with --alt-preset extreme which results around ~256kbps. That should be enough.
