Author Post BeatJunkie Cool Producer Registration Date: 30-12-2005 Posts: 206 Helpfulness rating:  Instead of remixing someones tune, I think it could be fun (or funny) to attempt to re-create a well-known drum n bass tune..... not a remix, where you would put your own twist on someone else's tune; but actually trying to duplicate the actual sounds and samples the original producer did on the original tune. I think this could be a good time.... and not necessarily a contest, but just for fun..... Does anyone else think this would be a good idea? (or just plain dumb?) __ MuZIK 29-08-2006 16:43 Rudeone love & light Registration Date: 15-10-2005 Posts: 926 Helpfulness rating:  might be funny, i dont have time for this though __ MySpace 29-08-2006 16:47 Friscko Aron Tinnitus Registration Date: 12-03-2005 Posts: 4,467 Helpfulness rating:  it's not exactly what i would call being original and creative, just a compo to recreate someones tracks __ www.myspace.com/arontinnitus www.myspace.com/djfriscko 29-08-2006 17:13 Yawn Sponsor Registration Date: 25-01-2005 Posts: 1,185 Helpfulness rating:  I think a remix compo would probably be more worthwhile. it maybe good for the site too now its up & running again. 29-08-2006 17:14 baz 7 Registration Date: 19-02-2005 Posts: 1,531 Helpfulness rating:  i think the idea itself is shit sorry __ "shotgun ; slammin in yo chestpiece ; blaw" 29-08-2006 17:17 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  If you would have to recreate all sounds from scratch, it would be impossible. If you may sample from the original, it's easy as fuck.

Registration Date: 30-12-2005 Posts: 6,413 Helpfulness rating:  I think it's good to try to figure out a new kind of competition so the idea is not bad at all, I've seen a breakbeat deathmatch on some forum (you get 3 breaks, make a new one out of it) but the competition was not much of a succes. I think it would be cool to do a competition that doesn't involve extreme time consuming work from the competitors but still results in a nice competion.... Examples: - Make the coolest bass sound, best results are put into a samplepack for the masses. - Take a basic Amen break and make your own cool version of it (recreate it, or layer it, eq it, put effects on it, whatever), best results are put into a samplepack for the masses. - Make a wicked/evil/funky/clownish/dark/rough/... 8-bar snippet of a track. We should have some trophees for the winners though (T-shirts, vinyl, ???). __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 30-08-2006 11:20 baz 7 Registration Date: 19-02-2005 Posts: 1,531 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by BattleDrone I think it would be cool to do a competition that doesn't involve extreme time consuming work from the competitors but still results in a nice competion.... then where's the fun pf doin it anyway __ "shotgun ; slammin in yo chestpiece ; blaw" 30-08-2006 11:58 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

If you produce a reece or a break for a compo it won't be as much work as a whole tune and the result will be usefull for the other heads who are always looking for good samples. Most contests give you some crappy sample pack and you'll have to work real hard to create a tune that still sounds below average (because of the crap samples and no VST's) and in the end sounds almost like the other tunes in the competition. I would do a small job with a lot fo freedom instead. __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 30-08-2006 16:02 Friscko Aron Tinnitus Registration Date: 12-03-2005 Posts: 4,467 Helpfulness rating:  how about the only limits being u are not allowed to use synths, all samples should come from the dnbbe samples page, the track lenght should be between 5 and 7 minutes? __ www.myspace.com/arontinnitus www.myspace.com/djfriscko 30-08-2006 16:07 drumnbass.be forum » Drumnbass scene » Drum-n-bass massive » rework contest?
