Walk Away Remix Contest

Posted by OVERSCORE - September 18th, 2023


Hey everyone! If you read my previous post, you know that I was wanting have a remix contest for this song:

Everybody have fun making your tracks, more details in the rules and criteria below!

———

RULES

  1. All tracks must be submitted by Friday, October 20th. No tracks will be accepted after this date.
  2. To submit a track, simply post it to this thread.
  3. Collabs are allowed, but optional. 
  4. Please write the title like this: underscore8298 - Walk Away (Artist Name Remix)
  5. Samples are also allowed, so long as they don’t contain any cuss words (for clarity, just saying the beginning of one and then cutting it off still counts.) Your submission will still be accepted, just, please don’t.

CRITERIA:


Creativity - 40 points

As I’ve said before, creativity is key! I want you to truly express yourself, show me something new. Don’t be afraid to change the genre, or add in a third drop! Just make sure it is still recognizable as a remix, and not a completely different song.


Technical - 25 points

Balance, EQ, mixing, mastering, you name it


Atmosphere - 10 points


Instrumentation - 10 points

Sound design falls somewhere between here and the technical category.


Overall - 15 points

My overall opinions on the song.

My advice? Take your time! You have over a month to create this, and I know from experience that the longer you work on it, the better chance you have of it being a masterpiece. I know you guys will do amazing, good luck!

I wish I could, but I can’t because I don’t have any music making equipment, and because I’m bad at it. I do play a bit on my Yamaha PSR 1500, but as I said, I’m not good at it, and have no interest in pumping out songs. Sadly.

That’s okay! Just sit back, relax, and by October 20th you’re going to have some cool songs to listen to.

I do have GarageBand, but it’s hard to use and doesn’t have that many instruments to work with. Also no MIDI support. Damn it!

I use GarageBand sometimes, but just for the drum beat sequencer, it’s got good samples and I like how it’s all laid out.

@underscore8298 The “minutes ago” counter literally updated itself in front of my eyes. ?

@underscore8298 AGAIN!? I get notification after notification so many times. But when I think about it, you also do.

Yep. Got two just now :o

Holy heck I haven't even started yet, I am still sorting a few things out with Joyride lol

That is my f**king bad!! You’ve still got almost two weeks though!

oh uh time to move

Finished the track yesterday! I should be able to submit it sometime today. Sorry for the time problems ;(

Ok, can’t wait to see it!

I'm sorry that I'm a year late to the party, but I wanted now to do a remix of Silent for the NES. May I get permission to do so? I'll give plenty of credit where credit is due. And may I send a preview of a very incomplete version of it that came fresh out of the oven just now?
