That's great! Just 2 days in, and we're already over 1/4 of the way to matching last year's submission total. Thanks so much guys, and please keep 'em comin'. ;D

Hello.

I've recieved your Mail, and, After a lot of different interruptions of my work, I would wish to participate, but, I really wish to tell, because it is an important condition to keep my tracks going

I do not wish to get too immersified in any kind of competition, I do not consider myself as a good composer, neither as just a composer but as a passionate being with music.

And I do really wish to apologize if I sound as an egocentrist, and selfish being, as I'm not the only one around here that thinks the same way as I. I do say that to make sure to have the best communication between the listeners and composers around here, that I'm here to share, and to be enthiusast with music composition in general.

Have a good day folks!

Ooooh! We're in contest season again already! Whee! Well, I've only entered one contest here on NG...but unfortunately for me it was the last NGADM14, and I got my Ceevro-iffic patootie kicked but good!

...Which mean that I've got this song that I wrote for the contest, but never got to enter. And that means that it's the perfect choice for the audition round of this lil' bad-boy!

Let's rock this joint!

Yup. We're accepting covers, remixes, arrangements, etc. for the Tryout phase, but please be aware that they won't be accepted during the Knock-out Round phase. ;) Also, @Ceevro, love your enthusiasm, man. ;)

Question - can full length songs be longer than the suggested time of 2-8 minutes?

Another artist can play on your piece, as long as you have composed all of the notes for the piece AND mixed and mastered the piece yourself. It's rule #1 on the complete list of rules I posted a couple of days ago. ;)

Ah, oh well! Some of my best work has been mastered by other engineers so that cuts out a significant portion of my portfolio. But maybe I will still think of something.


Never stop creating.

I'm submitting the first electronic piece I made. It's a bit thin compared to the others I've made, but I've recieved better feedback on it, so I decided to submit this one.

May I also how the groups are split? As in how many fans are needed for each group? I'm guessing I'm in Underdogs, since I only have 2 fans :P

Technically yes, but I'd really be careful to make sure you have a sufficient amount of melodic development, dynamic contrast, and overall variation to keep the listener engaged for over 8 minutes.

@frootza Why not make a piece from scratch for the competition? You still have 2 weeks! :)

@Sheeepie2 The groups are split evenly according to who tries out for the contest. So, let's say 90 people submit songs. We'll then create a list organized by how many fans each participant has, and split it into 3 even parts. The 30 people with the fewest fans are the Underdogs, the 30 with the next fewest fans are the Professional Amateurs, and the 30 people with the most fans are the All Stars. There isn't any fixed number of fans you need to join each group. ;)

@LE-SIUL @SmokeAvery I think you guys used links to post your tracks instead of the "project system icon" method. In the forums, you can simply copy the URL of Audio Portal content, and it'll show up with the icon, rating, viewership, author, and other information for the piece. This is not only extremely convenient for the judges, but it also a) makes it easier to find your piece so you aren't left out of the judging process and b) ensures that you've submitted your piece to Newgrounds, which is required under the rules. For now, it's okay that you've simply linked the pieces - I've already recorded them onto our growing chart of submissions on the judges' Google Doc - but for future reference, please use the icon method. Thank you, and sorry if this seems overly strict. It's mostly just to make sure no one skips over your piece whilst judging. :)

Don't worry about it! Like I said, I'm going to make sure your submission will be judged. :)

Whoo!

I've been waiting for this contest to launch. I am working on a track for Robot day, so I think I'll wait until that is completed, and then submit it for the auction round :3

Good luck to all of you bellowing hounds!

Okay, it's a little bit over the 8 minute mark. I hope I don't get banned from the site forever and ever for breakin' the rules. I decided to enter my most listened to song. I don't know why it got so many more than the others. Oh well.

A lot of my stuff is more upbeat and whatnot, but this one is very mellow and sorta relaxing. It's lengthy but doesn't overstay its welcome in my humble opinion. Good sleepin' music!

@LE-SIUL No problem!

@Bertn1991 Haha, I'm not going to ban you. As long as you feel like it's your best work, I'm more than willing to have it scored. We had plenty of submissions last year that were under 2 minutes, and I let those slide. ;)

@DJ-Howwl It's never to early to get some wholesome, honest advice on how to improve your music! You've come to the right place, my friend. :D

But the biggest matter is I want the other people to win this contest, like LucidShadowDreamer and Ceevro. If I enter, I would be a big clot of thing, because I am no longer the underdog technically speaking.

I'll wait until the end of July 15th to make the decision...

Good luck everyone!

Hey, don't you dare hold back because of lil' ol' me! I totally lost the last NGADM, fair-and-square, and it was still one of the most rewarding things I've ever done for my musical career, thanks to honest feedback and fair competition. I've been a martial artist for many years, and one of the most important lessons I've learned is that, after the basic skills are learned, holding back does nothing for anyone.

In other words, my respected potential rival, I wanna take you on at your full power!
