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! |

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 :=) |

Quoting Jammer@Krill: LOLz! :D Quoting GroepazIndeed makes you wonder why noone released a collection yet :=) Maybe that's his plan! Some kind of reverse psychology or so. |
