https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlrJsJEKKac I threw out my vocals and abandoned my idea of using the blade runner CS80 lead in, at least for now. Just some jokes and industrial-ish drums and a completely out of tune siren wailing sometimes. I learned a lot, I had fun, I can't wait to loving unpatch all this stuff and pull some loops off of tapes not involving Reagan. That said I still have a fuckin goldmine of samples I didn't use. edit: I guess I could still take mushrooms tonight. It's halloween. Sounds like a lovely work day tomorrow tho!!

The Voice of Labor posted:instead of an album, the thread should throw together a sample cd. in some obsolete e-mu format I will be making 8 track recordings on Compact Flash with the 8 track I just bought from Petit Choux and offering CF drives for sale seriously, I am set up to dub tapes here, though I have to do them one at a time; I would be willing to make tapes at cost for everyone that submitted, and then cost plus a little for anyone else who wants them, where the "plus a little" goes into the pot for whatever the next one of these is. I'd need to source a bunch of blanks, and I can't print nice labels, but the actual replication wouldn't be that bad because my work desk is 3' from the tape deck and I could just keep stuff moving while I work, I rarely sit still for more than 40 mins anyway. edit: i could technically print nice labels, I have a laser printer and vinyl sticker sheets, but I don't have a template or anything and also that sounds like exacto knives and lovely work.

I don't want anyone to get banned over this silly poo poo if you toxx'd and for some reason can;t make a godawful VCV rack creation with the provided samples in the next 3 hours, at least email me at deconstructed@gmail.com with your sob story and I will probably send you an unban gift cert key if your reason is good and I think I'll skip the toxx if I do it again, I don't want this to be stressful for anyone, more than it needs to be

Okay, the sheet is updated and I will put up polls later today, I just want to give everyone a chance to make sure that the thing(s) I have listed next to you are your correct and final submissions. Pretty sure I got it all, though. We ended up with everyone making the deadline except Coolnezzz who I strongly wish the best to and support their efforts at being their best selves, and if they eat a ban on that toxx I will happily cover a re-reg gift code (deconstructed@gmail.com). We have 17 "Recognizable" submissions, as well as 3 "unrecognizable", I guess I have to do separate threads for voting in each because I do not believe there is a way to attach 2 poll questions to a single thread. But, that's okay, I cleared this with Azathoth and they said they would sticky it. What's a good voting period, 5 days? Full week? Tend to default to the latter, just to be sure to pick up weekday and weekend users (I think some people don't post on here 2.89 times per day for 18 years straight, fuckin weirdos!!) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1idQjd47aJx8yGQA7r3sRd6XWtT4CfjwyjA2gTTkyKHU so, total of $60 on the line -- $20 top voted recognizable, $20 top voted unrecognizable, $20 most votes overall. As we had zero submissions that came from people who didn't either toxx or submit in advance of the deadline, I think this just means someone is going to get $40. Payouts in paypal, venmo, or "envelope of $2 bills mailed to you", at your choice. Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 13:06 on Nov 1, 2022 |

Pollyanna posted:Is it okay if I go through these and comment on/ask questions about them before the voting process? I wouldn’t want to color expectations or bias anyone. I think if you do it here it's fine because it's a tiny subset of people apt to vote on (stickied! i have been assurred!) cspam thread(s), and also once it's in CSPAM then  will apply no matter what guidelines I'd attempt.Also given the disparity in number of entries between the 2 categories I am inclined to split the "most votes" $20 10/10 int each category, more or less just turning it into a $30 pot on both sides. or 25 / 35 to recognize that winning the larger competition involved more, uh, competition. I'm good with w/e, it's my $60 that is yours to decide, haha. CaptainViolence posted:i'm finally getting a chance to go through and listen to all the submissions and good lord I haven't listened to all of them yet but I haven't found anyone who took this as an excuse to celebrate Reagan and make unironic nostalgic GOP porn, so, good job.

this is now in front of the best minds and calmest voters CSPAM has to offer I asked Azathoth to pin, and also fix the hosed up thread tag on the smaller thread main thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4016385 unrecognizable thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4016387

argh I don't think I can retro edit the polls, maybe mods can? If not I will kick a door prize of some kind to toadee for my fuckup. I had not listened to everything before I posted it.

gratz to xzzy and catblack and thanks to all for playing along! Winners posted in CSPAM threads, I will pay out as soon as I get payment info from people  i do like the idea of a Valentine's-day due "Love Letter to Nixon" contest with basically no other requirements: no toxx, no sample usage, no instrumentation. whatever the creator believes is a love ballad from them to Nixon expressing deep felt love of SOMETHING, is fine??

The Voice of Labor posted:cspam's much dumber than it thinks it is as someone who spent a lot of 2021 - 2023 posting in cspam ....yeah, but it's still smarter than most of the forums, and most of the forums are still smarter than the internet as a whole so what the gently caress does that say about us as a species xzzy got paid out in paypal, catblacks "envelope of cash" will go out tomorrow (ADR or ADSR, still to be decided), this was super fun, I got some motivation to start to understand "RECORDING". Look forward to doing more stuffs in future.

Pollyanna posted:I’m still surprised I got any votes at all. I liked your submission, and I figure whoever voted for me was voting blind or cspam chaos factor, but, we can all be as self-deprecating as we want, in the end, we said we'd do a thing, and we did it!
