RCVN Maybe try pitch shifting the whole project a semitone or two (if it sounds decent) before publishing? I've seen a few you-tubers do it to bs the system

thats a good idea, definitely worth a try. knew Youtube had become pretty hardcore copyright Nazi's but was'nt also aware of Soundcloud.

    makes sense though... these record labels are very quick to sue.. place like sound-cloud or YouTube just don't want to be tied up all day in litigation

      Juuussst in case you arn't on the GT whatsapp group - there's rumours of (at least) two entries in the works for this one - how's y'all doing?

      V8 Is there any chance of hosting contest entries locally? My mash up is on appeal at Soundcloud, and I won't be able to enter otherwise.

        Yup +1. I also cannot seem to shift the pitch of the track.

          daveo1977 Let's ask @NorioDS - Norio, any chance of hosting locally as we did way back?

          If not, we could always use box.com as we did before we hosted locally.

            V8 sorry guys I'm stuck in hospital again. Can't help with the hosting. Will have to be Box or something like that.

              Thanks gents ☺ I'm sure I'll be fine soon enough ?

              So I'll think we'll got with soundcloud as plan A for entries and box.com as plan B if you hink you'll have issues with soundcloud?

              Box probably won't embed nicely as SC does - but it's one click and it'll play on box - well that's how it used to work!

              V8 Great, signing up for Box to submit my entry.

                daveo1977 Nicely, I can view without having to login (but I did anyways to dbl check, non-box users get the same file).

                Do you have any blurb (inspiration/motivation) to share (purely optional!)

                  guidothepimmp . I cannot seem to open anything with that link. Jusy a fyi. Maybe it works for others

                  I've tried from my desktop with chrome and firefox - both worked for me - does take a little while to buffer the file, but plays fine.

                    V8 I forgot!! This one's called "You want this party started, right?" It was inspired by those radio DJ intros you sometimes hear. There's a bit of 90's nostalgia in there – C+C Music Factory, EMF, Beastie Boys & System Of A Down. Put together in Ableton. I made album artwork, please excuse the big pic:

                      and here is my humble submission.

                      Struggled with the sample bits but basically stuck it in as a preamble to a song my old band from 10-13yrs back used to do.I am sure you can figure out the sample.. it is rather obvious. The band tune oddly I cannot remember the name of.. i changed out the rhythm guitars and bass to make them a bit more aggressive, and also to fill space. listening back to the recordings of our practices it sounded a bit empty now. funny how that happens. I wrote some words but as I cannot sing, so attempted to voice over rather than actually sing. my throat was killing me after 2 takes.
