Tracking / Remember that compo?

« on: December 27, 2006, 12:53:56 »

Remember the Odd Time Signature Tracking Compo that was due 1 december?

wouldn't it be nice to give it a One Hour Compo approach in defining the winner? We link our entries (which I expect every participant to have uploaded to the Modarchiveby now ) in this thread and have others vote  :thumbup: . How's that for starters, eh?

So tell us some more!
Do you play any instrument? How did you get to tracking? How long have you been tracking now? Still tracking?
Have you got any sisters? joking of course... What are your musical preferences? What pop artists do you  :quote: idolise? Me?

Tracking / Compo Etiquette

Remember the time signature tracking compo?

it was cancelled due to too little entries, so I uploaded my entry already.
I think since the deadline of your compo hasn't been reached yet (? forgot to check the date of your post) it wouldn't be wise to upload your song into the archive just yet, because other competitors can download it too then and compare their entries to yours and see if their song needs improvement to beat yours.
So I think it's not really a matter of "being allowed to", but a matter of it "being a wise thing to do"

good luck!

when the number of entries are low then I'd say it's easier to choose.
   when the compo is cancelled, then I would like to get some feedback at least, because I normally wouldn't force myself like I have done to get a song finished.
 Especially because I am quite proud of the result. It was completely new to make something attractive in an odd time signature, and putting that in the shape of an irish reel was also quite some venture.

I believe there were at least 2 entries.

Hey, it's nearly the 2nd of December, that means it's 1st of December now. How's the compo turning out? Were there many entries? Good ones, bad ones? When will the outcome be published?

seew manny koowes-chunz!

The septole cannot be used as a time signature. It's a music theory fact.

I thought so...

if you'd use a septole it would just be a very fast 7/8 beat or 7/16 :grinno:

hiyaaa!

How's everyone doin'? I've just submitted my entry to cdnalsi.
It is an Irish reel in 7/8 and I even found a Bodhran sample

I'm very curious about your entries!

yeah, I was wondering about the 15/7 too. especially the /7 bit. Wondering what that looks like. I think it doesn't exist even. Has to do with a septole... no I wouldn't have a clue...

so show me and make me marvel! :grinno:

did nobody ever notice that 12/8 can be counted the same as 4/4?

the only difference is that there are 3 8th notes in each count, instead of 4 16th notes.

4/4 beat:

|1 ta da ta |2 ta da ta |3 ta da ta |4 ta da ta|

12/8 beat:

|1 ta da |2 ta da |3 ta da |4 ta da|

Casus: 12/8 in Modplug Tracker :grinno:

speed: 3   BPM: 125

you start regularly at row 1, but the next measure starts at row 24, instead of row 32.
Take a bass drum, place it on row 1, 12, 24, 36, and break the pattern at row 47 (the next pattern starts at row 48 )
next, take a snare drum and place it on row 4, 8, 16, 20, 28, 32, 40 and 44.

listen to the result. Tadaaah! a nice waltz!

err.. eagle,

then 6/8 and 3/8 should also be disallowed. and 5/8 and 7/8 too, because they're the most common odd time signatures. (for example John Miles' Music)
but this sounds like a load of fun and a great challenge! I think I'm in!

I was thinking about doing a 7/8 Irish reel, but it might get a little more psychadelic. I also do not have Bodhran samples.  ::

or maybe a 6/8  7/8  beat shift! ever heard about 13/16 beat? It's 3/4 plus 1 extra 16th note. I'm practicing on it now!
