COMPETITION RULES:
What is the title of the High Rankin song? Need to hear the whole song…
Hi Fred…there’s no song you are remixing – just take the parts from his sample pack and create a composition of your own. Hope that helps.
[...] the remix competition starts Nov 26th 2011 and ends on Dec 24th at midnight GMT.More information: DJ Mag Producers Competition No Comments Share/Save wpa2a.script_load(); GA_googleFillSlot("belowpost"); Older post:FatLoud [...]
Do I have to decide if I’m taking the HR (High Rankin) or GL (Glimpse) Stems/Samples? Or can I combine the Stems of High Rankin and Glimpse in my Composition?
Hi – good question. You can use the provided stems however you see fit.
Hi – you can use the sounds as you see fit.
When is this Remix Due?
Hi – As stated in the competition rules, we are accepting submissions to the competition drop box between Nov.26 and Midnight (GMT) Dec.24th.
Hi Justin – the dates are listed in the competition rules.
Are we to ONLY use what is in the remix packs?
Meaning, would I be able to use outside sounds, other than what is collected here?
Adding effects and whatnot is okay, right?
Thanks.
Yes, as stated in the contest rules, as long as you are not using uncleared samples this is fine. Please see the contest rules.
can i use ableton sounds? and maschine sonud?
Yes. Please read the competition rules.
Just finished my track for the contest. I think its a real strong one. I’m really curious about the other tracks. Can’t wait for the 26th.
hello, my question is: can we use sounds that do not come themselves included in the package provided to create more variety?
whether fx etc claps.
Thank you.
Yes, as stated in the competition rules this is fine as long as the sounds you use are not uncleared samples.
can be any genre of music?
I mean techno, tribal warachero, hardstyle etc.
Hi…you can submit any style you like, but keep in mind that the judges are High Rankin and Glimpse so something along the lines of their styles is probably most likely to catch their ear.
Do we have to use all of the loops provided and is there a limit to them we have to use…..??? What type of genre do the mix or beat have to be……??? Can we use vst and plugins…….???
Hi. Please read the contest rules. This covers your questions.
Hi i want to know what is uncleared samples… And can i use samples that i bought from your website ??? Thanks in advance.
Uncleared samples are illegal samples of other people’s music. If you purchased anything from our site it is royalty free and not an illegal sample. I hope this clears things up.
[...] it’s only natural that we’d want the Ableton community to be involved in this excellent competition from Loopmasters and DJ Mag. Download free stems from Glimpse and High Rankin, and get to work on your best remix. Preview the [...]
Thanks very much for this opportunity. I’ve read the rules but this question is not answered: What’s the maximum length of a mix you’ll accept for this competition?
Hi…good question. We are not limiting this but keep in mind that to win it should stand up well against tracks in it’s genre…as a rule tracks these days generally fall between 5:30 and 7:30 max.
Do you want us to upload the the whole song or just the meaty parts? Because by the looks of it, I have an eight minutes song which I will be glad to share every single last bit with you guys but I’m not sure if you guys have the time to listen.
Hi…we want whole songs – 8 min is a bit long, you probably could work with the arrangement to shorten that a bit…but submit your whole song, that’s how they will be judged.
I have made mine with my own created music/basslines/melodies etc around the majority of the samples, some edited, some not.
For example – built a melody around some of the bass samples, and added my own bassline samples around the bass samples-
Does my track still qualify like this ? or do i have to make a whole song from just these sounds ?
Hi. You can of course use your own sounds as well as the loops. There’s no restriction to using only the loops.
can I put my mix on my soundcloud page?
thanks
Yes, you can.
I just uploaded my track. Is it ok to disable downloads or should I keep it on?
Please disable.
Can we share our track in other soundcloud groups?
Yes.
Hello, I am writing to tell you that went up my theme to your dropbox of souncloud 4 days ago and has not been published. I saw that you have posted new songs.
Here I leave the name of the song: Producers LMDJ Mag Comp. (Álex Gob Remix).
I hope you answer me please.
A greeting and pardon my English. I’m using the google translator and it is not good.
Att: Álex Gob.
Hi Alex, you should find that it’s now included in the player.
Hey,
i have short question
“All trademarks and logos are protected. Unauthorized copying, hiring, renting, public performance and broadcasting of the provided parts is prohibited.”
so if i finish track can i play it or not?
also can i send it to other labels?
Hi, apologies for the late reply. I understand this does come across as confusing. What it means is, you can’t use the logo, artwork without permission. And you can not redistribute the samples.. so sell them elsewhere for example. You can play your track wherever you like and send it to labels because the samples are royalty free. But you can not sell the samples, we just have to cover ourselves. Thanks for your question though, it got me thinking!
Thanks for you reply :) because judges are dubstep and house music makers, so i am not sure that they will like my hardcore track :) with some dubstep breaks
Hi,
can i submit more than one track? I’m not sure yet but i think i would like to mix one track out of the Glimpse Sounds and another one out of the High Rankin Sounds.
Thanks for your always great sounds and this competition-opportunity. (and excuse my maybe not perfect english)
Hi,
Thanks for the kind words. Yes we have no problem with you submitting two different tracks!
Hey there,
I uploaded my remix to the competition group dropbox some time ago, still waiting on it to be approved. How long does this process usually take?
Thanks!
Hi – Check now, your track should be included in the competition player now.
I just checked, refreshed the page a bunch of times, still don’t see it there.
It’s up now, thanks!!
Hi,
I’m new to Soundcloud and just added my two songs to the competition. Now I’m not sure if I did it right. Both songs claim to be in the group but I don’t see them there. Furhtermore one of the songs has the tag “private”. Is that just because the songs haven’t been approved yet? They both contain RockDancer in the title.
Just want to make sure my contributions are there for you to hear.
Thanks for checking and – naturely – I hope you like my songs. ;-)
(sorry for perhaps bad spellings)
Sorry for posting again.
After submitting my own tracks I listened to the better part of the other contributions and now I wonder if I got the terms right. I thought the goal was to mix the delivered parts to an individual song, maybe adding some effects or other small parts, but not taking just a few samples and insert them in a total different thing. Some of the entries have almost nothing to do with the original samples. Not that they are not good. Some contributions are awesome! But I hope I still stand a chance in this competition staying as true as possible to the original sounds, showing my own note just in the way I selected, mixed and edited them. ???
I found my own solution. I just added a third song with a little more other stuff. If three songs are too much please just ignore my first High Rankin Mix: It Has Begun (Soundtrack of a war in a naive world)
Thanks!
Merry Christmas by the way :-)
Same scenario as a few posts, uploaded to soundcloud dropbox earlier today, confirmed email, refreshed browser and do not see the remixes on the list of submissions. The tally is still 52. The two submissions are called “The Wrath of God” and “mindmix inc vs LMD…” -thanks
I have Summited Remix! Good luck to all and Happy holidays!!! :)
Ramøn Rayo.
And the winner is???????????
Who??
Grtz
Hi – we’re going through all the submissions now and plan to announce next week.
So when will be the Judgement? :)
Hi there – we’re going through the submissions now and plan on announcing next week. Please be patient.
Hi
Have I lost yet?
Cheers
Hey can you tell me who is under 11 ?:) because in player on page is one name but on soundcloud other one.
