Wait wait wait, where in the world are we going to find a revolver with a 15 bullet chamber?

Trust me, it's a good feeling, man...

So three people didn't make it? That's a shame.

My opponent didn't submit =\...

CheckeredZebra, I feel your pain.

:c

Ohwell, I don't really care what happens from now so long as it is fairly done! :V And from what was said earlier, all is alright with me. Shame I didn't get to actually face anyone off though. Ohwell. I'm looking forward to the scoring and reviews, but I bet they'll say "Percussion! Reverb!" =P

Man, lots of great work submitted!
My faves plus mini-reviews.

Damn, I'm not used to this much praise, but thanks for making this, I might do a similar top 5 (which actually comprises 5 tracks this time :P) if I find the time!

Is everybody holding his/her breath?

There are six judges so there will me 6 scores out of 10 per song. An average of each set of scores is made, and the opponent with the higher score makes it into the next round. Then, in the 2 weeks of Round 2, each song will be reviewed on the NG song pages, explaining the score you were given. These reviews won't come up at set times, they'll be coming up whenever the judges finish them, so keep an eye on your submission.

although this is probably set in stone by now, i just wanna say as a past judge that a good way to review is to write your review then score it, rather than vice versa.

getting all your thoughts down on paper and then logically deriving a score from that is much more coherent way of scoring, in the past ive disliked songs but after writing my review realize there is not too many things wrong with it and it deserved a much better score than i WANTED to give it.

Your submissions are terrible

Yeah, uh. Sorry, but if you had posted stuff like this for your auditions, most of you would likely NOT have gotten in. Not nearly as good as the auditions.

Yes! We should've absolutely 'auditioned' with the worst track we made. What is this insanity to submit with a good track for an audition?!

You shouldn't though! All they posted was terrible covers of John Cages "4'33", i have never heard such terrible quality in my life

they didn't credit the original author and weren't even silent

Blah, i hate it when people don't even try to do justice to the original. Did they are least put some effort in the 2nd movement of that piece?

Naturally, I would too.

Pardon the double post, but I wanted to get this in:

John Cage's 4'33", sold in bookstores... my friends were telling me about this. Beautiful front cover, glossy and bearing John Cage's name and title of the piece, but inside it, several pages of blank staffs. I do not know why they would want to spend £73 on what is essentially an overpriced manuscript book.

Boobs is the word

On the subject of most of the Round 1 submissions sucking: I get it. I'm just going to put myself in the group of people who's submissions were *blegh.* I could have done more with mine, but I didn't. I had actually completed a different song days before, but I thought it was too ambitious to be successful. After spending too much time considering submitting it, I decided to do something else and banged out another song in about 3 days.

Yeah I spent a while on my song but I was going for something calmer, fully anticipating most of everyone else to do dance, dubstep, techno, or something like that. I felt it'd make a good contrast to the abundance of fast-tempo, intense songs that were sure to roll in.

That being said... didn't see too many get-your-blood-pumping tracks this round.

I'll take your word for it, but I get worried with these things.....
