DSF Sample Pack Competition 53 FREE FOR ALL / AKA the what time is it thread B

@Paralytik I export them all out of audacity as mp3 so don’t worry.
@cyclopian do you have enough local time to get a tune done?

4 tunes in so far and they are heavy fuckers.
Anna Nicole Smith is very happy so far!

lossy → lossy transcode :lebebe:

Whut?

you should always try to avoid taking a lossy encoded file (like mp3) and doing another mp3 encoding on it. you wanna go lossless → lossless OR lossless → lossy

youre making our tunes sound even worse than they are :wink:

No i meant if i get any wavs i export them as mp3 via audacity.

ah duh lol, i was wondering why you’d re-encode them

but uploading mp3s to soundcloud is also a lossy transcode :badteeth:

I re-encode them so they sound shit which makes mine sound better in compsrison. Then i can win.

I don’t do these comps for the love of it.

If you leave it until the last minute, then it only takes a minute to do.

I’ve got one version that’s good enough but I’m just not quite satisfied with a part lol. I’ve probably spent the last couple days of work on the same 4 bars

I know that grind!!

I wasn’t completely happy with my ting either, but what the hell, can’t pussy out haha. Could have made it betterer in lots of ways, but at least I delivered something lol.

Btw, I did get an access request by email from you, just didn’t see it before I replied with a new link.

I still have a few hours after work tonight to submit, leaving it to the last possible second lmao. gonna be good tho I think

I thought last night was the deadline haha. The rules really need to be a bit more clear imo!!

Glad mine is done though, it’s awful but it’s done.

1 BigUp

Yeah I’ve been really confused by the deadline on the last couple lol

If there is still today, I would like to re-cut mine maybe.

I have been trying to use some aleatoric concepts and inject random randomness and sometimes it just comes out sort of, well random.

I can’t really hear it until it is done and my randomness sounds like a trainwreck at one spot.

The deadline is midnight on Thursday 16th July. So in England, I have 3.5 hours left.
Cyclopian has 7 or 8 hours left. Edit - no wrong. I am bad at maths.
Anyone in Uzbekistan is done.

5 tracks submitted.
Get them in while there’s (local) time left. It’d be a shame if there weren’t more considering the strength of the sample pack. Don’t make Anna Nicole Smith sad…
