We're doing it again this year, although instead of the logo... we want a new theme song.

Details on the blog post.

The deadline for entries is Friday, October 16 (so we can use the new theme on the 3-year anniversary show).

[probune]

I've been working on something since you announced this last week on the podcast.

[Tron]

Time to order up korg ds10 plus!

[probune]

This is what I have so far.



This is the middle of the song. Beginning and end aren't done yet. and of course unmixed as well.

[burgervan]

Here's my entry.

*edit* Are you keeping the piano music at the end?

[Kirbutashi]

Here's my entry.

[probune]

New version. Needs a better ending, and I want to condense the intro down.

[ness08]

Here's my entry.

This would actually be a better opening I think.

[Wenny]

Here's my entry.

*edit* Are you keeping the piano music at the end?

What if you slowed the tempo down a bit when the music kicked in?

[Kholdstare]

This would be perfect.

Seriously. I wish I made this.

[zanmushi]

Hello,

Have been listing to the pod cast for a wile and picked up on the audio contest - what better way to make my first appearance?

you can find mine here


Best of luck to everyone
Cheers'

[burgervan]

You mean slow down the whole song in general? I kind of like how energetic it is, but I guess it can't hurt to mess around with the tempo a bit.

There are 2 versions to my entry:

a) The short version that was edited for intro purposes:

http://www.zshare.ne...672525cc30529c/

b) A full version:

http://www.zshare.ne...6726610a3fd6d1/

You can use both of them -- if you need a sample to loop, your best bet is in the full version.

c) Alternatively, if the music sounds a bit pessimistic, I created a happy version of the same theme:

CJ, will you be announcing the winner beforehand, or will we find out when we listen to the episode?

[atat23]

Here's my entry.

Yeah This, except with phil singing, can't remember what episode that was but that was awesome.

I think it would be a good idea if you guys had a segment dedicated to this on one of your future shows. Maybe you could all listen to some of the best submissions and comment on them and then decided which you think deserves to win.

you know, that's a really great idea. it'd be fun to listen to the crew discuss the musical stylings of the player one audience

They did that on Rebel FM when they had a similar contest. It was entertaining.

yeah, i didn't really like the one they went with in the end, only thing it had going for it was it's originality. The ones posted here are all a little samey but if I was able to make one I'd actually do something 8-bity too so mine would probably end up sounding like the rest.

[Tron]

Do the fans get a vote? We actually have to listen to it every week!

[omnii]

Here is my entry. I'd be happy to remix it periodically for fun. Please let me know if the bass is a little too loud. PoPtheme.mp3 - 1.21MB

[Serraxor]

Allrighty then I suppose I'm a bit late at it, but my inspiration has been zero as of late... So I'll do my best with what time I've got... Time to bust out my secret weapons...

[Serraxor]

OK! My entry is complete (with autofade!) I present to you, "Insert Coin". I composed it with a DSi and Korg DS-10, as well as a Game Boy Color with the Game Boy Camera. Then using Garage Band '06, I compiled it, added percussion and tweaked the volume levels and effects and voila.

You can take a listen here...

...and you can download the contest-entry version here...

... **NEW** due to popular demand from a few of the people that have heard it, I extended my entry into a full song that you can scope out here. It has more garage band elements in it though.

If you'd like any changes made, please by all means feel free to let me know; I can change anything about it at a moment's notice.

I hope we get an interesting judging process and not just some little winner shoutout 20 seconds short of the end of the podcast.

Awesome setup, btw, Serraxor.

Thanks man! I'm just glad I got the inspiration I needed in the nick of time... I was mulling over different tunes for weeks and nothing came of it at all

[Kirbutashi]

It never occurred to me that the GB Camera mode that I used to show funny faces and produce noise was actually being used to make real music.

I imagine it's a mostly untapped resource. Like using excel to create art...

[Serraxor]

Cool!

[Reivax]

Good stuff, Strugglepoo. It's already stuck in my head.

[probune]

I made another entry in the extra time since the contest was extended.



I hear some great stuff in this thread. It'll be interesting to see what they choose.

[Deimos Anomalous]
