Crazy Sound Contest !!!

Hi to the Renoise users,

I am in charge of a Sound Contest called “Mixage Fou” or “Crazy Mix”

It is a french contest that is already opened at this adress : www.mixagefou.com
(when you access the website click on the bottom right “american flag” to access to the english version)
It ends the 21 of march 2010

The aim of the game: to download the sounds available on the website (go and click on the “Download Sounds” button) and make an original creation out of it. Every effects is tolerated and even fostered (amplify, speed, pitch, and tempo change, reverse, repeat and so on)
A single obligation: to send a creative and fresh composition, not longer than 80 seconds.

It is opened not only for the french but to all people (all the prizes can be sent by post mail !!!)

Feel free to ask for any questions about this contest in this thread

Hope you enjoy this proposition…

There is a contest forum this post maybe could be transported to?

More informations :

This contest is organised by a french university in which I am working as a sound teacher, the email adress you leave to participate will never be used for any commercial purpose (no spam).

You can download the raw sounds with a direct link here :

Listen to them there is a very cool bass line !!!

you can even use those sounds in your personal compositions (copyright free).

This contest is something I make in my extra time and I have no money to make it, I even pay myself the hosting of the website (100 euros). I have some help from my students too.

Don’t hesitate to communicate on it, it ends on next sunday (included) !!

Hi Jonas,

The upload procedure should work, could you please make an extra try (if there are duplicate files I will fix it)

Please keep in contact

Just found out the player in the listening section has my submission in it, so I guess it worked! Probably the uploading of the 2 mb file happens so quick I thought it didn’t happen :)

Everything is OK I have just listened to your creation in the listening section…Niiiiiiiicccce

Thnx!

Thanks, it could have been better if I spended more time with it.

i have started doing something for this,but 1 question is it only allowed to use the included samples?or can we also use breaks?

i think i know the answer,but i thought i would ask anyway :walkman:

Only the included samples !!! You can use what you want inside the samples…

Hope to hear you soon
