LW's Monthly Music Competition. (Officially starts Monday!)

[wWallie]

Interesting concept you got there, I'd be in if the circumstances would allow me, guess I'll pass for now..

One thing, who's gonna judge? As in, decide which participant has the best mix since that seems pretty important.

[HardyHar]

For the most part I was gonna start polls.
But an official set of Judges would be nice.

(wWII? Making music?)

Sounds interesting.
If there is anyone to blame for me trying to get used to FL Studio (once again!), it's got to be you HardyHar. I'll let you know when I succesfully acquired the basics for once (and find proper VST-plugins.. or maybe I just have gotten a bad version of FL last time I tried).

[HardyHar]

No pressure but I think I'm gonna close slot's on Sunday of this week.
@Velocity: You'll do fine... Don't worry.
Besides I'll do the worst. =)
Should I sign you up?

[[V3loc1Ty]]

Should I sign you up?

No sorry, not before I didn't manage to learn the basics and stuff. As stated before, I'll let you know when I'm ready and will watch the competition for so long.

remix rock with rap and vice versa

[HardyHar]

Well, music isn't decided yet so... No one else really knows either.
If you want you can take the last slot since I don't really think anyone else will.

As for the first song to mix... That's all up to SUPERBAD since he is first in line.
From there I'll have to search for vocals to give out. If I can find them.
Unless he can supply them.
or
I can leave it up to the competitors.
We will see depending on what he picks...

And from now on...
You have to fill out a card:

Name:
Music Genre:
Experience:
Years:

By years I mean how many years have you been using music software. (No not iTunes.)

[Faraday]

I withdraw myself from the event. I received some very disappointing results from school, and I'm gonna have alot of work to do in the next few months... :/

[HardyHar]

Niice...
Well, it's just me and SUPERBAD.
I haven't heard anything form him.
He's supposed to decide on the song.

Good event bad timing.

[SUPERBAD]

sorrry i missed the topic and events... :O

I ll give you tomorrow a nice answer and reply. Might be better than if I try now :OOO

and sorrry

[SUPERBAD]

So I can choose a song, no matter which one? And you bring me the vocals of it?
For a remix it would be cool to get the accapella and the instrumental version, best would be if we got different audio layers, like bass, guitar, drums, etc)

If you got a song you want to do, choose it, Hardy!

If you really want me to choose a song to remix, no matter which one, I would say:

Loverboy - Turn me loose

[Me[T]aL_]

nice ideas guys hope this will make a great event

[HardyHar]

Yeah, since your first in line.
And since Faraday quit.
So you get to choose the song. (Loverboy - Turn Me Loose.)

I'll try to look up the vocals and instrumentals of that song.
If not I'll have to learn to extract vocals that way.
(If I have to do this manually then the file won't be 100% clean you may have some lingering beat's, but when you remix it you should not hear anything.)
One thing I have to point out on what you just said, I don't think it's possible to extract singles of the instruments. Ex. just the bass / drums / ect.
What you could do is... write it as a Audio file in FL Studio and find a moment of the song where it's only one instrument and work from there.

You use FL Studio don't you?

*Modified.*
Okay I've finally found the tutorial on how to extract Vocals from a song.
I'm sure you can do it in FL Studio. (That's what I'm gonna try.)
But, the problem is that you need an exact replica of the instrumentals. (Where do I find that?! Hahaha.)
There are things on the internet that say you can make instrumentals of a song.... so now I'm kinda going around in circles...
(Sigh! I've got soooo much homework too... Luckily I am ahead on my work but, this is insane.)
Lmao! Faraday! You nub! Don't quit... I'm not... besides this is a monthly event.
You work on your own time. But I'll drop you if you really want me too.

ARGH! And my last problem is... when I do extract the Vocals / Instruments how do I send it to you?
(Should have thought about that... but at least I know it's possible to do.)
E gads what about sending the final mix? Youtube er' what?
Well... wish me luck... and hope my brain does not explode.
(Soo much has been going on lately.)

Oh by the way...
Here is the video tutorial to extract the vocals:

(You can try it if you want... it'll save me some trouble.)
 
AND WWII your one of my official judges.
So get ready. =)
Lurk around here more often.
or
Help me out... er' something...
Just try to find some nice tutorials, that would be great help.
(Possibly related to my issues. Not IRL thank you.)

OMG! my mind is traveling at light speed. (Headache.)
Ok, I'm off to finish homework now... Sometime this week I'll be done with this mess up here. ^^^
So, yeah! What ever.
