Response to NGUAC 2023 Final Round 2023-09-01 06:51:42


I hate myself so much. If I hadn't forgotten to post my track on the forum, I might have gotten something like 8.85 points. Well, better attentivness next time.

Response to NGUAC 2023 Final Round 2023-09-01 08:07:51


Dang, I knew I wasn’t going to make it but it still hurts to see how CLOSE I was! There was only ONE PERSON between me and the people who made it. Oh well, at least I tried my best. I went all out, can’t wait to do it again next year!


you guys like my tunes?

Yes, you may submit the same track to both the NGUAC and NGADM as long as you follow the rules for both contests. Thanks for asking!


Also, @Sirbru: are you sure you made your Final Round submission entirely within the 2-hour period between when I posted this thread and when you uploaded that track? You're not supposed to start working on your submission for a round until that round starts. Thanks!

Forget what I said, I actually have a super cool melody that I really enjoy, and I got a very promising result.

Rather than doing something every judges will like, I'll do my own thing like last year :D

While it's sad that I couldn't make it all the way, it's still a great accomplishment for my music to be recognized and critiqued at a high level. Good luck to those who are moving on to the final round!

I got notice of the post 2 hours after it was posted because I wasn’t checking NG at all. If I submitted at a time I wasn’t supposed to submit it I’m sorry I’ll make a new track but I went to bed at 1:03 and I read the post at like 12:32 and the track was submitted at 12:42 so if I messed up then sorry I’ll make a new track. OOPS!

It's okay. Admittedly, I'm still a little confused when exactly you made the piece. When you uploaded the piece doesn't really matter, but the fact that you uploaded it so early in the round made me think you had started working on it before the round started, which is against the rules. That's all. If I was mistaken, you're welcome to submit it. But there are still more than 2 weeks left for you to submit something. No need to rush things. Thanks!

Every group starts with 4 judges, but most rounds we have a few who can't complete their duties in time for various reasons. I'll try to enlist more back-up judges next year, or maybe even lengthen the judging phases.


@Sirbru Okay, great! No worries. Submission accepted.

Alright, well time to see how this does. Dark but I think quite delicious. I figure to get this early rather than have a crunch time on it. Best wishes to everyone here. Going to dive around meanwhile and listen to others here.
