My problem is with the PLUR-tastic herd mentality on here that has to spring to action anytime someone has any kind of criticism about something.
"DON'T HATE! IT'S FOR FUN!"
"YOU CAN'T CRITICIZE BECAUSE IT'S FREE!"
********. Just because something is free does not mean that it can't be criticized. Here is where most of you lose me. I am not moaning about the vocals. I am not even talking about them anymore. In fact, I'll go one step farther and say that they are great apart from the background noise, which is a minor irritation at worst. What I am talking about is this shit argument that somehow "free" is synonymous with "inscrutable". Follow me? Good.
Those of you that know me know that I am generally an extremely constructive and positive individual, but this hivemind action here really just ****s me off.

This competition is not proffesional, so what is the problem?
The quality of the vocals is far more than good enough. If you cant make something proffesional from those vocals, your shit, simple as. They are even supplied at 48 khz 24 bit....
What more can you want seriously.
Matt, I have a lot of respect for you, so I'm not going to get into it over this, but for the record I've worked extremely hard to be able to afford all my own equipment, software, etc, and every penny I've earned has gone back into music in some way or another. As for being shit, that may or may not be true, lol, but I am at least open to criticism and willing to better myself.
And also for the record, you can record 48 khz / 24 bit with an X-Box Live headset if it's plugged into the right sound card. Will it sound good? No.
ONCE MORE, FOR THE PEOPLE WHO STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING:
I'm not saying the vocals are shit. I expressed distaste at the background noise in one post. Everything else is in response to the ludicrous idea that somehow things that are free or "for fun" are somehow immune to scrutiny.
The End.
Well I'm pleased you don't think my vocals are shit. Appologies if the recording quality is not up to standard. I have used the same equipment and set up to record tracks that are pending release. Although there was initially some background noise this has been cleaned up by the producers with no problems. Perhaps it is worth looking on the net for information on how to do this so that you can learn to acheive the same standard of processing?
Alternativly if you are happy to provide the cost of a studio and cover my travel expenses to get to the studio then I will be happy to re-record them for you. :oD

The tracks should all be made available to listen to on may 2nd. We'll sort a poll with links to all the tracks. Dain-Ja said he could set this up for us. :)

Jeez I need to learn how to produce :P and by doing this comp I've realised that I also truly suck at working with vocals ^^
I'll stick to intrumentals and short vocal samples until I learn how to do things right ;p
but I had fun at least, just played around with different stuff, and it's as finished as it can get with my level of skill :)
anyone else done yet?

Hold off mate. :) I think all tracks should be made available to grab on the same day. If you want to upload now then you can but don't post the link.
I'm not fussed about it being anon personally but if everyone wants that... Don't see the point personally.

to stop it becoming a personality contest, being anon makes it totally about the music.
