I go back and forth on this.

I only spent 3 hours on my tune. Can't believe it's still in.

I only voted out of respect for the comp.
I don`t think any of these tracks are better than those that were voted out.
In fact......

Hehe, I aint bitter Foxtrot was mine and it's now another track written for my E.P

On a similarly related note to before one of my dreams last night was about dynamic reduction (with a track going up to -3 db rms ) this confirms it I need to give the studio a rest for a bit

your track was awesome =) my favourite along with Charlie.

who made Charlie?

seriously dodgy voting going on here.

I concur,the last round was about as fucked as i've seen it.
Maybe the next one you should have to post your votes then at the end of each round they are counted possible?

Alpha v golf 21 votes lima v quebec 13 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm really on point this round.

TBF, some rounds in some competitions there were battles I didn't vote on because I didn't particularly like either tune. Nothing says you have to vote on all battles all of the time. As for having to tell people your vote, have a word

I swear, every battle (48hr/SamplePack) we've had recently there has been someone saying that something dodgy is going on because their tune got knocked out earlier than they would've liked, or because certain numbers don't quite add up. Honestly, it doesn't matter at the end of the day. Do we enter this contest to win? Maybe. But that's not the point of why we're doing it - to improve as producers, push ourselves, work outside of our comfort zone in a more constricted environment/timeframe than we would usually.

If some folk want to mess around with things, let them. Again, they're only cheating themselves if their productions are winning by underhand means as opposed to actual merit. If this is really bothering some people enough, then my advice would be to stop offering prizes - reckon the problem would sort itself out is nothing tangible was at stake.

Why you worried we might not like your taste in music

Also i'm still in so not bitching because i went out early.

Not at all - but once people start being made to tell others what they've voted, there is inevitable justifications why did you vote for so-and-so tune etc etc.

My comments were just general, wasn't directed at anyone in particular.

No one should be expected to justify themselves at all and the people asking for justification will only be ones who are self conscious about their music rite?

Its all good wub i was just saying,at the end of the day this is a comp for all us to improve off and we are a community that should support each others work so playing by the rules for me is just simple etiquette isn't it?I know there is some serious dick swinging goes on in these parts but we are coming together over an ultimate goal so really should all be in it for the cause.

I wasn't even in the comp, but juliet and foxtrot were a mile ahead of the other tracks. Golf's beat is pretty great admittedly, going for golf to win

Think it would be constructive to post your votes in the thread (not for security measures). I imagine a lively conversation around which track is "better" and why.

And earjax, I think golf was better than foxtrot, that's why I voted that way. Foxtrot may have had certain attributes that were advanced, but overall was nowhere near miles ahead. That is why we vote, we have differences of opinion.

Also, I have not voted in each pairing, like wub.

I think giving an explanation of why you voted for certain tunes would be cool. Could help the person who made it see what aspects of their track were and weren't popular. Although keeping it form turning into a feedback thread could be a problem there. Maybe the person who made it wouldn't be aloud to chime in or something, just a thought

Whats wrong with a feedback thread in this context?
