@CompXsco You don't need to include the contest title in your submission, as long as you post it in this thread. Thanks for asking!


May I get some clarity as to why I didn't make it in this year? The piece I submitted to qualify was a piece from last year that got a solid 8.0 review score at that time. What disqualified me?

@Stargame I'm sure your group's judges would be happy to give you some feedback. @NahuPyrope @Uxvellda @VociferousMusic Also, if it's any consolation, you were literally .07 points away from making it. The competition was fierce this year!

hello, i will do *short* reviews for anyone who PMs me, even if i didn't judge your group.


if you got a lower score than you expected from me please keep in mind that a 5 from me is roughly what i consider to be "average" for newgrounds.


i'm biased towards what i consider to be "good" mixing & mastering and originality within genres, and biased against overly elaborate/noodly melodies.


congrats to winners, good luck to those who were eliminated. keep making stuff, even if it sucks!


p.s. i am gay

It might not have been the brightest idea to whip up a song in about 3 hours for the contest, but I did it anyways!

Is it ok to post the same track as for NGADM round 2?

Response to NGUAC 2023 Knockout Round 2023-08-14 11:57:51


Well...


I really thought i had it but i seemed not to be that close. I took this way to easy.

Last year i got into the ProfAms and if i did this time aswell i would have gotten to the next round.


But now i know and i have to fight even harder next time :)


Good luck everyone else


At 8/13/23 12:04 PM, TaintedLogic wrote:Welcome to the Newgrounds Underdogs’ Audio Contest Knock-out Round 2023! :D

What’s a Knock-out Round?
The next stage of this 3-stage competition! Half of the original competitors from each group were accepted into the Knock-out Round, rounded up according to group membership and then rounded up again if there were ties. The new group membership totals may be unequal as a result of ties, rounding, and disqualifications.

What do I do if I made it in?
The remaining competitors have until Saturday, August 26th at 11:59 pm Eastern Daylight Time to submit a completely original track (i.e., made from scratch for the competition) to this thread. You couldn't have started working on this piece until last night, as per the rules. If we find evidence of you having done so, you will be automatically disqualified. Please read all of the rules if you haven’t already.

There will be NO remixes, remakes, mash-ups, covers, arrangements, or anything like that for this round. Your piece really has to be COMPLETELY original. NO COPYRIGHTED SAMPLES ARE ALLOWED. If you don’t know where a sample originates from, please don’t use it. This copyright policy is also clarified in the NG Audio Portal guidelines.

The strongest competitors from each group will be announced by Thursday, August 31st. Then, those people will face each other in an epic finale!

What do I do if I didn’t make it in?
Politely ask the judges for some feedback, of course! @ADR3-N, @Benji-G, @Lordant, @Midimachine, @NahuPyrope, @Possibly, @TaintedLogic, @TeraVex, @Tritnew, @Uxvellda, and @VociferousMusic all worked really hard to deliver these scores in a timely manner, so please be patient and respectful with them. Please keep any discussion of your entry to a PM, not the thread. The judges might even be willing to leave you some reviews with a detailed rundown of your score if you ask nicely. 

SO WHERE ARE THE RESULTS?
RIGHT THE HECK HERE! People who made it into the Knock-out Round are highlighted in green. People who didn’t are not. The lists are alphabetized within their groups, so please make sure you know which group you’re in. Also note that there are different tabs near the bottom of the spreadsheet for each group, so if you don’t see your name right away, make sure you’re on the right tab. Unless your fan total has changed in the past 9 days, the following should still be relevant:

Underdogs: 0-11 fans
Professional Amateurs: 12-38 fans
Above Average Joes: 39-99 fans
All Stars: 100 fans or more

Congratulations to all of the competitors for their hard work. I’ve scouted several strong musicians in the past few days, padded my favorites list, and overall thoroughly enjoyed seeing some new faces and NG veterans all come out for the contest. That said, the toughest part of the competition is upon us! You have 13.5 days left to work on your Knock-out Round tracks, everyone. Good luck! ^_^

So there will be only 4 people in the last round? Like the best competitor of each group? Seems like a really steep hill tbh. Or are there more people per group going trough?

Happy to participate in the competition. It wasn't easy, but I was able to finish the song. I had to sacrifice a good night's sleep. I hope you enjoy my work

In the rules, it says the song has to be composed during this 13-day timeframe, so no.

@Clbuuu Your group's judges, @midimachine and @Possibly, should be able to give you some feedback. Thanks for your patience.

@PsiStarOfficial Only if you started working on it yesterday at the earliest. For both competitions, you're supposed to make the track entirely within the 2-3 week period of the round.


So there will be only 4 people in the last round? Like the best competitor of each group? Seems like a really steep hill tbh. Or are there more people per group going trough?

@3manonMusic It's a 20% acceptance rate from the Knock-out to the Final Round. Usually around 10 people per group. :)


aw I didn't see it was happening and missed it :L

@Jmagnum Happy to keep you on the PM list for next year, dude. ^_^

Hey now, nothing in the arts is a waste of time. My grandfather has a saying: “Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want.” Take this experience and apply it next year when you have another opportunity to show the world how you have improved!

i got put in the "professional amateurs" group, which makes sense, because i had 38 fans earlier, but now i have 39. does this mean that in the next round, i'll be judged in the "above average joes" group, or will i stay where i am?
