x2k Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 .: DV BATTLE '08 :. Good news, it's time for another DV competition. As the popular vote showed in the poll some time ago the format of the competition will be to make a track using only the samples provided. To ensure that the samples provided suite everyones needs each contestant must have submitted 3 samples prior to entering, the final sample pack will consist of all submissions, we will add some more if we feel the final collection is missing something. Rules 1) No synths, unsupplied samples, instruments or any other sounds sources are allowed. 2) Effects are allowed. 3) Each contestant must submit 3 samples of 44.1khz 16bit Wav or similar (no need to match that exactly but samples must be decent quality). 4) Scratching is allowed, but only with supplied samples, this means if you do not have a DVS but you have one of the submitted samples on a you may record scratches using your copy on vinyl, you must not however use any part of the sample which is not supplied in the competition sample pack. Samples Try and provide variation in your sample pack so rather than submitted 3 breaks maybe try and submit 1 break, a bass riff and a vocal. There are no restrictions on the length of samples but keep it reasonable, no complete tunes or anything stupid like that. Samples maybe sources from anywhere, lifted from existing music, recorded your self or a tone/texture from a synth. Samples can be submitted using any popular file sharing such as sendspace.com or zshare.net, it is encouraged that your three samples are uploaded in a zip archive but it is not necessary. If you need any help with uploading samples please get intouch. Deadlines * All entries and samples must be in by the 27th April 2008. * Tracks must then be submitted by the 25th May 2008. * Winner will be announced on the 1st June 2008. Voting Entries will listed anonymously and DV members will have a week to vote.

Face Melt Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 when the entries go up can the rest of us hear the samples so we can have some idea of what they did to them I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE PRIZES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x2k Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Right, I've decided to make the sample pack available to everyone. http://www.digitalvertigo.co.uk/downloads/...Sample_Pack.zip I've also been thinking that if anyone else who hasn't submitted samples wants to enter that might be ok? Does anyone feel strongly for or against this...I don't know if anyone else wants to enter? But I thought if anyone miss their chance maybe we could let them in? I won't let anyone else enter if anyone feels I shouldn't allow it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
