Question
Do you want mastered files if so are we allowed to get other people to master for us if we don?t have the ability / equipment to do so?
Don't worry about masters or anything like that, it's the production that counts really.
Not to be rude but mastering IS part of the production. Everybody I know has their own approach (gets someone to do it/does it themeselves/makes kick-ass mixdowns that don't need any, etc.) but it's never left out, especially when the end result is gonna get compared to stuff that IS mastered.
Yeah but this is just a fun remix comp. People will just vote on what one they like the most. It's not going to have label releases and chances are, a lot of the remixes won't be heard anywhere outside the forum. So it would be a shame for people to finish a remix but not submit it because they didn't get round to mastering it
All I'm saying is that mastering is part of the fun in the production process! Even if it means just slapping on a t-racks preset a la Breeze n Styles! lol!
Saying it isn't, though, would interfere with a basic outline of what is and isn't allowed, imo.
Just trying to set things clear.

God I remember someone screenshotting that, someone else made a preset for T-Racks based on it, people thought it was some magical preset that made everything sound amazing

I understand that mastering is an important part of the production process, but I think it's silly that it gets so much attention and there's so much of a mystique surrounding it. Why would producers be willing to show off their production techniques and how they actually create sounds but then get all secretive about how they make it loud, like in this video?
They can keep their special preset for all I care. Probably loudness war garbage.

Well, I think it's down to stuff in my own life suddenly being precarious again unexpectedly so I've gotta take it easy for a bit.
Although after the 10th it would be great if entrants posted up their finished remix in the thread for all to hear

There is a sense of uncertainty in my life too atm, so I can relate. Things like the comp help get my mind off of stuff I have no control over. Also, you must admit the forums got somewhat busier lately. The comp may have had something to do with it, and I feel that's a good thing.
Do what you gotta do to stay on track, Sparkz. Sun will shine again :)

I guess I'm never even bothered about people or the scene, like I'm as honest as they come. There's very few peeps I still respect, which includes FDB and Mansy.

Even though university is keeping my suping busy, I still managed to finish my remix.
Really enjoyed my time working on it, so thanks to you Sparkz :). I'm excited to check out what some of the other participants have made.
