Ableton Live Beat Battle # 1 POLL TIME

[H20nly]

sorry hulingdervish you can't vote...

fail.

I dunno... fucking trolls.

[JEpic]

Well I felt like beats 3 and 4 did the best job of synthesizing some great drums out of the sample. However 4 and 6 really did the best job with melody and arrangement, though they both take a moment to "get there". And damn if the mix isn't killer on six.

Anyway I'm going to have to with 4 for the raw dubbiness of it, but its a hard choice.


In the end I wish I would have heard about this a few days earlier, I found it sunday and never got past my first scene. Oh well, can't wait till the next one.

[hurlingdervish]

too bad us posting our picks could sway the results...

it would only sway the feeble minded

[MacGuffin]

I thought I should add that I was also impressed by 3 for it's musicality.

[sparklepuff]

Regardless of how fucked the poll got, I am going with 6.

And I agree that there should be a 60 second limit, especially for the sake of the listeners. If there were 29 entries, and all were 2:30, I don't have that kind of free time. I'm pretty much going to decide whether I like the tune or not in the first 12-16 bars. I don't want to wait for it to "get good," it better be good from the get go. Heck, I'd say 30 seconds is long enough, you know how many songs I've heard during a TV commercial that I'm like "Fuck that is great"? Plenty, and 30 seconds was all they got. Just a suggestion, I look forward to participating in the next one.

edited to emphasize song pick to make counting easier.

[Grappadura]

I vote nr. 3. I suggest you count only the posted votes.

[fingerprince]

Tough choice between 5 and 7
But ............................7 for me!

[UKRuss]

im going with 4

how you made those drums, is mysterious to me

and it also kept the feel of the sample

I'd have to agree with 4 on the drums! Impressive shit....

and no. it isn't mine.

Will be listening later today, but just wanted to chime in:

To whoever screwed the poll: you are a jerk

Seriously, Hurling put together a fun forum activity and people enjoyed participating, why do you have to mess it up?

Go get a hobby, or a life. This is truly sad and pathetic.

Anyway, rant over.

Looking forward to hearing these, bummed I didn't have time to do one.

all of the entries were good...
and I really liked 5 as well..
but chose 2 because :
it was the most daring in my book...
and a great layered buildup !
very cinematic...

you should somehow make it clear that that is what you are doing, because some people are obv just clicking on the poll. So the contestants can vote, but only for someone else? is that a rule too?

[leisuremuffin]

current count by post is:

4 votes for 4

3 votes for 6

2 votes for 7

1 vote for 3

1 vote for 2




that doesn't really match the poll even not taking into account the weirdness with the near 100 votes for 6.

There's no medal.
