Is there any word on this for next year yet? I think it was about this time last year when the last one was being sorted out. Always had fun with these in the past!
First thoughts were "Oh YES! Two replies, some news last!"
Guest, you better fucking enter this thing now.

i win all masters of hardcore and dominator dj comp`s, then say im unemployed and not allowed to leave the country
production is useless without a decent keyboard, especially for fruity, the event graphs are pathetic and still not parametric, image line deleted my posts on the youtubes video`s for fl 12
Captain Triceps
Violin worthy story mate, but you can still play this one for fun.
DjZelous
id love to enter one of these! if you guys can organize one it could be fun
Guest
meh, samples are for sissies
i only have fl 12 installed, and that has 80% moved to hardware side of things
it still needs parametric event graphs, they are still pure shit to edit after recording live automation and quantized your notes

Last year someone suggested we come up with some vocals and have someone sing them. Whoever came up with that idea is a genius, and probably very sexy too.
I'd like the same again, and I'd make more of an effort to actually write some lyrics myself this time. I was expecting there'd be a fair few entries in that round but apparently not.

Genius? Most definitely.
Sexy? You'll have to ask my swarms of fan girls about that one.
I've still to put some sort of official release together for the last winner. I apologise on being so slack with this, ive been so busy recently!
I'll put together a nice release plan for Dys7's winning track shortly as well as another comp - although I dont think thats been a year since. If it has that's scary!

Get a shift on, you work-shy fop.
Seriously though, I'm sure it was this time last year that initial ideas were coming about. There's no rush or anything, just wondered, that's all. Had a lot of fun doing it, even if I was cruelly thwarted in an epic miscarriage of justice.

You know you're probably right man, ideas took a while to piece together so it may well be a year after all. Turned out to be a great comp, lots of activity :)
I really want to create some kind of team/collab based comp this time round. You're right though, the lyric stage was pretty quiet even though it came good in the end. I think there were 4 lyric entries.

For the love of Christ, will you please say something relevant?! I will personally pay you ?20 if you enter this competition without banging on about total bollocks!

Could meet Guest halfway, ban all lyrics with references to love, angels, flying, rainbows, varying degrees of height, drugs or just tenuous rhyming lyrics in general ;)

it will get its own sticky topic anyway in the production forum, lurkers know what to get for christmas
m-audio air`s are ?85 -> ?99 nowadays. if you have to put up with automation clips which are bollox, you will end up with shit like this
keyboards set the velocity aswell when you record what you are playing, and alot easier to do the long background leads, if you have mapped cutoff and reso and attack

No, good point actually.

No sissy hardstyle or frenchcore for middleclass pussies at UK hardcore events either, presumably.

I'm sorry to say this but there's just no way I could commit to running it in the immediate future. Ive got so much going on at the minute its not even funny!
I have to prioritize as I took too much on last year & some things suffered as a result. If anyone else fancies taking the reigns & running something then go for it. I'll do my best to support it :)

Well, give us a quick run down of what is actually involved, if you're too busy you're too busy but someone might be able to do this if we know what needs to be done.
I take it it's not as simple as "submit your entries in two months and we'll pick a winner."
I'm a busy man but I'm up for helping out in some way. I enjoy these things, it gives me some inspiration to actually DO some producing, something to work with, and I learn a lot from them and I'm sure others feel the same, that's why I am always keen on these!
Come on guys (and girls of course). Any volunteers provisionally up for doing some vocals? Allison again? Someone else? I can't sing.

Vocals aren't necessarily necessary. Not wanting to be disrespectful but the vocals didn't impress me last time and actually discouraged me from entering. After all, the winning entry had them pitched up and processed in the end.
We had one comp start off with a midi-pack, the second comp with vocals. Perhaps a 3rd competition can start with stems or something different? Maybe we should set a theme, state some requirements and leave the door open for tracks. For instance, make the theme space/alien themed and the requirement is to make a track under [or around] 4.30 and to make it unique to this competition provide some voice samples or custom samples whereby at least 2 need to be used to make it legible (if the samples are stealthed then they can be cited upon entry).
Something like that?

God I hate working with stems, always hate downloading a remix pack and it's a gig or so of stems. I know it wouldn't be the case this time, of course, but still.
I do like the other ideas though, and I guess not everyone likes vocal tracks to begin with anyway. Maybe everyone who want to enter chucks in a sample (not something crap like a kickdrum, but a vocal snippet or some cosmic sound effect or an unusual breakbeat), then that goes into a zip file and we need to use at least 3 of them.
Just an idea, if anyone else has an idea chuck it in the pot do so.

I have a remix pack if you guys want one :)

Nice one! Is it a track you already have out we can have a listen of?
I don't see myself as being in a position to make decisions or anything on this, but a remix pack from Cyrax, and maybe a couple of ground rules regarding a sample or two that MUST be used, is a good start.
Keep the ideas and suggestions coming in!

The pack is pretty thorough as Transcend put it together so it's got pretty much everything you could want in a pack midi, vocals, snares etc........... everything, i'll wetransfer it and pm you the pack when I get home if you want to that is, you might not even wanna remix it
You can do whatever you want with the end results, sign them to whoever, free downloads, make money out of them, not fussed.
Captain Triceps
Even if this doesn't happen as the HHC.com competition is would be brilliant to have this anyway to play with, very grateful sir!

Man! You're full of inspiring ideas recently. Its as if you've taken a break or something, found your mojo again! Put this new found inspiration to good use ;)
Ken Masters
Triceps - Its really not as difficult as you'd probably think. What made last years comp so time consuming was creating the vocals in the additional stages. I wouldn't want to run it without raising the game.
If it was a simple remix pack competition then it is like you say, begin the comp & then accept the votes while keeping the comp.thread active & updated. Although if you take the reigns you can't enter, clearly haha
Ive set myself some pretty large goals for the first half of this year & its going to take everything ive got to put it all into action.
If this comp still hasn't taken shape later in the year then I'll step up & sort something out. I love running projects through the site & it brings that much needed community feel when underway.
Someone step up & have a go :)

I don't actually think it would be difficult, just, like you say, time consuming. I'm a (more then!) full time working father of two so I understand getting the time to keep the ball rolling.
What if we do a small comp now with Cyrax's track, and a proper one later?
Captain Triceps
Get someone who is unlikely to enter, like Guest for example, to maintain the thread and the Soundcloud page.
