i wouldnt really consider it unfair, maybe more fair?
Well if it's too much trouble don't worry about it, I didn't want you to adjust anything yourself, but to just *note for my music to be turned up while playing the game.

Thanks!

I would also like to add that I hope that his volume does not detract at all from the score received from the judges - as I could not find anything that had to do with sound production (mixing and mastering) in the rules or parameters of the contest.

To be fair, I also didn't say that it would probably not be the best idea to have a master bounce that clips over and over, or to have music that is too muddy texturally with way too much low and mid ranged frequencies happening. This is the point of a contest. For me, as the coordinator of this contest, to go in and tweak a contestant's track to my liking is completely unfair to everyone else. If Casalena is truly concerned about the volume setting of his piece, resubmit a fixed version. But to ask me repeatedly to fix it for him is not only inappropriate (in regards to me being the coordinator of this contest) it is also unfair to all of the other contestants who don't receive help from me in their pieces. Will the judges count off for too low of a volume? Perhaps. Perhaps not. It's really up to them.

I'm not trying to come off rude in this post but am trying to explain the situation and why I'm choosing not to alter, tweak or edit any submissions.

Thanks,

Nathan

You are absolutely correct - the pieces should be judged however they are written. Please pardon my inexperience with electronic production.

No harm, no foul! :)

Can you please confirm you received my submission Nath.

Cheers

I'm not trying to be rude either, but once again,
I never asked for any adjustments, if I were to re submit the only thing I would change is the title of the folder, in brackets (turn up volume on speakers). That's about it.
Inappropriate would be asking you to adjust my actual ogg file, and mix it accordingly, not simply retitling a folder. I try to leave enough headroom as possible to avoid distortion and other obvious flaws.
But whatever, things are getting hasty for no reason, so it's not a problem.

Good luck everyone.


nsmadsen still looking forward to your response pm!

Uh oh. Game engine not playing back my 121MB WAV file, but it plays back my 91 MB Wave file just fine...

I'm hoping this is just because i exported 32-bit floating point. I'm going to try 24-bit 44.1khz and hope that fixes the problem

resolved. file needs to be 24-bit.

Can you send me your e-mail, Nathan? In case I can't figure out the whole FTP thing in time?

Just wondering, Nathan do you listen to the tracks or do you just immediately send them to the judges?

Casalena- noted. Perhaps I misunderstood you and thought you were asking for me to edit the actual ogg file. I didn't feel that was appropriate. It's all good. :)

Andrew Poole Todd- PM me with the link or if you need my email check my profile or I can also send it to you via PM.

reaper 567- I've listened to all of the tracks so far to ensure that they are working. I haven't passed anything on to the judges but I'll do that after tonight in one large zip file. Some really good stuff so far!
