🙂, i like that idea.. but radio rules say that it should go last to first, that way people will stick around untill the end of the pack 😁

judges whoever you are. get to work!

last to first sounds better to me (personally i don't want to be going through a pack that just keeps getting worse and worse...)

Umm, how do we vote or something.
I think its been discussed before that there will be no voting only a pack of the presets will be distributed to the judges and then they will decide between themselves and then they will publish the real pack with ratings.
Am i right guys??

Right, you download all the presets and decide an order from first to last, then we release them all in a pack like this:
1 - Last
...
24 - First
sidd#
ohh. that is nasty.. imagine if your preset comes 24th.. how would you feel??? i could be me.. it could be you.. oo the suspense
stardust_zg#
I'm sure mine would be first in the pack... and last in the contest...
Who are the judges, btw?
sidd#
no way, your preset is nice. Especially the colors. Not many presets use beige/kharke/cream or whatever you want to call it 🙂

Judges are Zevensoft and Doggydog at least.
Have they actually started juding yet anyone?
dirkdeftly#
by the way...

just because i said i dropped out of the contest doesn't mean i actually did...

i already made two presets, and they'd both be going to waste if i didn't enter one (fingerpaint, of course, because trefoil violates phaze's precious rules) 🙂

I cant ignore this...If there isnt any problem,i could be a judge(i havent submited any preset to the contest) along with doggy and zevensoft.Degnic should be a judge too,but lets wait for his reply.Someone make the pack,then every judge download and review it.No polls,no voting and no flaming.Sounds quite good...

How about we stop arguing and judge the damn thing, eh? We've already got a bunch of judges - and you, Phaze, just volunteered...how's about actually doing some work now?

Yup i guess you should make the pack phaze since you started the contest😁

In order from best to worst.If someone thinks his preset should have higher up, and starts bitching about that, it won't help him/her. I won't change the order.

1. Stardust - Military. No, I didn't pick her preset because we're both from Croatia, it has great colors, nice FX, and great beat detection.
2. Shock Value - Chrome Current
3. Tuggummi - Odour Control
4. Unconed - Daedalus (If it's in 🙂 )
5. Shreyas - Recall The Old Memories
6. Ishan Rocky - Curves & Colours
7. Nixa - Another Flow Preset
8. Magic - Organic Tunnel
9. Raz - ? (He didn't name the preset AFAIK)
10. Runar - (-)Ion
11. Siddharta - The Gloaming (would have been higher if he didn't used a scope or something instead of the pic)
12. Super Toast - Frosty Oxide
13. Undefined - Hypnotism
14. Atero - Fingerpaint
15. Hungryskull - Jiggly Stuff
16. mquadrat - Vector Flow

Those are the presets I got from the other thread, and I would appriciate if someone pointed to me where the other 8 presets are.
Again, if you think you've been cheated Eurosong-style, don't bitch too much. You CAN write a nice polite post though.

Reviewed while listening to:
Siddharta - Klinik (a Slovenian band, not the avser 🙂 )
Die Toten Hosen - Schön Sein
Nightwish - Stargazers
Apocalyptica feat. Sandra Nasic - Path vol.2
Members Of Mayday - Soundtropolis
Negrocan - Cadavez
Nick Cave - Babe I'm On Fire
and the CD2 of the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack (original CD, it was playing in the other room).
PS. Amazing what shuffle can bring.

phhh. use a scope instead of a pic, what you got against pics? 😠
*grumble grumble grumble* 😠 *sniff sniff* 😢😢😢

Well..
I think youve done an excelent job, these are pretty much how i would of scaled them if i were judging (except for mine oc)

btw.
stardust: See, i told you you wouldnt come last
stardust_zg#
/me can't believe her own eyes! I guess I'm too pessimistic sometimes 🙂

btw. I think there's nothing wrong in using a pic instead of superscope or any other render.
[Ishan]#
no i'm serious ,really yours was way better than mine.
Anyway the result is not out yet(the other judges have still to decide) so there is still time for the pack to be published🙂
zamuz#
well i didn't participate in this, but i think the judges should discuss the preset's order privately... even more suspense 🙂
dirkdeftly#
btw...raz's preset violated the "one superscope, one other render" rule...however if we are interpereting that rule as "two renders limited to one superscope" i'd rather trefoil was in than fingerpaint.

and no offense to tuggummi, but the fact that his preset is third and siddhartha's is 11th baffles me... 🤪

am small compilation of all the contest entries.

wow, good point atero, i didnt even notice that because they are clear screens.. Because we didnt pick it up until now, i think it would be very mean to say he cant use it, so i vote we do what atero sais, and that means atero could use his other one, but no other exceptions. If atero does do this, DD wil have to rethink his choices. Anyone against this?

judges make sure you understand the rules, and are sure each preset qualifies before making your decisions..
Doggy Dog#
Ok, ok, everyone calm down..

I said that that was only my opinion. Now that I look again at the presets, I would probably put Siddharta's preset a bit above, but I was kinda annoyed when I had to unzip the preset and the pic in the different folders. And yes, I know it's a stupid reason, and I'm sorry, but we judges still have to decide the final order, and the preset will probably go up.
First you guys must decide what to do with raz's preset. And I bet, if you allow Atero's rulesbreaking preset to enter the contest, there will be somebody else who will want to modify his preset if Atero's could enter the contest, etc, etc.
