Sample Pack Contest VII: VOTING CLOSED

[LukeB]

Sample Pack Contest VII

We have entered a new section of the Sample Pack Contest VII, listening to the tracks and scoring them !
Tracks of all kind of genres have been posted and a lot of creativity can be heard, this is THE reason why I wanted to host the SPC.

You can download the .rar file with the 28 entries + scoring template down below

aww yeah baby

1. Filenames haven't been renamed to song titles ("SPC7", "spc7_kickingdicks v2.wav" etc. -- if those don't have proper titles that should have been insisted upon.)
2. ID3 tags haven't been stripped out.
3. Not necessarily your fault but I don't have the faintest idea how "Quilava's Quartal Quandary COMPUTER Quickly Quits Quieting COMPUTER'S Quintessential Quantum COMPUTER" is going to fit on the cover.

1.Going to rename them for the album cover and excel sheet.
2.Indeed, there are some ID3 tags at this point, sorry. But... I deleted every artists name and that's the main thing.
3.I need to discuss this with the author, I can't change the track title for him. (QQQCQQQCQQQC could be a suggestion).

oh wait i should save comments for when i score things

[KungFuFurby]

Are you sure you're supposed to post them here? I don't remember that...

You, LukeB, got some un-named tracks there... whoa...

I have a better idea in theory to get rid of that ID3 stuff. I hunted down and found Mutagen. My temptation? Try to compile that thing and try to use it to get rid of tags... maybe...

Also, the deadline is undefined. Hmm...

Un-named tracks you say ? There are definatly some boring names in there like the "SPC7" one but I'm going to leave them like that.
Also, the ID3 tags are going to be deleted when the album is about to be released. I thought deleting the ID3 tags (apart from the artists name) wasn't important at this stage in the SPC before posting the pack, now it's a minor issue.
But please people, remember that you only have to LISTEN to the tracks and give me your opinion. It's not a fashion show at this stage.

[AnthonyMorgan]

Aaaaand I listened to all of them.

Dreaming Panflute = <3
I also really enjoy Aliens Built the Pyramids, Dusty_Drylands, as well as others.
I just spent a very entertaining 65 minutes.

SPC7 was actually in the ID3 tag...so I'd guess that's the actual title. "spc7_kickingdicks v2.wav" had a different title in the ID3 though, as did a few others.

I (think I) change all of these and updated the votesheet, and repacked that into this handy dandy download:
nope

no extra ID3 stripping though. If I missed something, yell at me edit: bad idea, sorry for the confusion

[Charybdizs]

Oh goodness, I missed the topic. And I had a hankering to listen to them while I was playing Spiral Knights. I didn't see the release topic when I looked, though. D:

Now, to give these a listen...

[EnergeticEssence]

I've very surprised by this SPC! Some very beautiful songs! <3

[EnergeticEssence]

Dreaming Panflute is very beautiful, and Dusty Drylands makes me think about Kirby games *lol*

[Pongball]

I've already said all this in #vgmusic, but I'm blown away by the overall quality of the entries! You guys did some amazing work. :D

Also, I think the voting deadline should be a lot sooner than the end of March. People in the chatroom generally seemed to agree that a week would be about right. I think we're all anxious to find out who did what!

I appreciate you want to help me but this will only give me more confusion when counting the votes later on. Could U delete this link because there are now 2 versions of the scoresheet. I will change the names of the tracks to the right ones in the excel and the album cover, so how the tracks are called now isn't really important.

I know, and I wish I could keep it to a week. But I'm in the middle of exams by then and I need my time to study. So about two weeks from now I will go to work.
