As to prevent people from missing out we're posting this in "General Talk". We had a few complaints for posting last time's announcement in "Miscellaneous". And hopefully this way we'll also get more results.

As some may recall the first Jazz Jackrabbit Tribute Musicdisk was a big success. Reactions varied from "great" to "beautiful" and even "amazing". But there were those who wanted "bigger" and "more". And that's what we're shooting for now!
Calling all Tasteless-members and those who consider themselves "musically gifted" (or "qualified"): "Jazz Jackrabbit - a second tribute" is on it's way. So it's time to start your engines and create a remix of your favorite Jazz Jackrabbit song.

Deadline: 30th of May 2003
Formats: All those playable with a standard XmPlay distribution. (MOD/S3M/XM/IT/MO3/MP3/OGG/WMA/etc.)
Styles: Aside from that it HAS to be a remix of a Jazz Jackrabbit tune (NO FILECONVERSIONS) all styles are welcomed. From chip to R&B, Death Metal to Folk, Classical to Trance.
Limits: Big files, say 3+ Megs, are NOT appreciated. But help will be offered to get your file in an as small as possible size. This will benefit both the administrator's inbox as well as the final release.
Open to: Tasteless-members and guest musicians.

Don't worry whether a song has been remixed by somebody else or not, we welcome variety! Also welcomed are requests from people whom describe themselves as "musically challenged". Though you may not be able to remix yourself, someone else may want to hear your ideas. Post them here.
A submission-address will be announced later on. As said the deadline is the 30th of May and the final release will most likely follow a week later. And this time we WILL think of those whom are Windowless (you know who you are!), haze promisses...

I enter.

Delightfully acknowledged.

What do you mean by "no file conversions"?

If one must convert to mp3/wma format beacuse the original format isn't common, would you be more generous with the file size limit?

I think he might mean you can't just convert a file and then use it as an entry. ;-P

With "no fileconversions" I mean things like converting JJ1 songs to S3M, without any editting. In other words: non original stuff.

And that filesize "limit" is bendable. Just try to aim for the best quality/filesize ratio.

has someone got a program for me to rip *.mod files back to their original samples? If so send it to me or if it is licensed to the user give me the title plz so that i can illegaly download buy it or get the demo.

my email + msn + ICQ = scatman@wct.zzn.com

[EDIT] ow, and where can i get the first part of Jazz Jackrabbit Tribute Musicdisk??

Actually you can do that with just about every mod-tracker out there. Good places to start are ModPlug.com and MAZ Sound. Recommended tracking software would be either ModPlug tracker or Impulse Tracker. As for instructions: rtfm!

As for the first musicdisk, it's available here.

My MIDI equipment decided that I can't record my songs into WAV. Because of that I have no chance of getting them in MP3 format... *sniff* *sob*
*walks away, moping*

*hugs Pho and hands her a hanky* Sit down, explain. What happened? Or rather what is not happening?

Maybe me and AcId are good enough for it?

Well, I use Logic Audio Platinum 4.7.. When I've finished composing, arranging and mixing the song I have to record it into *.WAV or *.AIFF via a microphone cord. When I plug in the cord in both computer and keyboard the sound should come out of my stereos instead of my keyboard, but nothing comes out from either. All the settings should be right.. If the sound won't come through the computer, the song cannot be recorded in AIFF or WAV, which is required in order to later convert it in MP3. I don't know what to do..

Is the line-in/microphone jack setting muted? Or maybe the cable is dead. Or worse: one of the jacks. Those are the only things that come to mind at the moment.

Well, basically that's up to you two.

Smang smang! Can ye do it with another person?

yay. motivation to track!

now, to pick a song...

I'm definetly going to try and do something for this. Remixing is always an adventure.

Pho, there are some things you might try to see what exactly the problem is. Try using the cord on something else to see if it works using that. Or maybe put in a mic where the cable from your keyboard and computer connect and see if you can hear anything then. Or switch some cables around to see if you can get it working. To see if any equipment is faulty doing a test on each part is the only way to really know. Maybe your keyboard's output is faulty. You could take one end of the cord and plug it into your computer and the other into the headphone jack of a CD player. There are lots of things you can try.

And it always could be a software problem. Remember sndvol32.exe is your friend.

I made a mod once...

...it sucked...
*runs away*

Heh, good luck guys, hope this is fun

Anyways, glad to hear there so much enthusiasm. Let's get to work! And btw coops are of course allowed.

I request that one of the uber-trackers *cough* Haze *cough* remixes Diamondus Remix.

Bah, I'll compose something anyway and see if I can get things working properly. I'll try to get it done before the 30th day. Any song suggestions/requests?

A disco-like Labrat remix?^-^
Trance-Jungle?
A cooler Castle music?
And an even cooler and scarier Medivo one?

Diamondus Remix Remix? ANOTHER version of Tubelectric?

Actually, I'd like to see you do Dark Groove. Darn awesomeness that one.

MIDI... da(fp) you, Cubase!

I recorded the Crysilis theme song by hand with MIDI, after listening to the mod about a hundred times. Does this count, or is it just a file-conversion?

Either way, it wouldn't work, considering Cubase automatically changes all instruments to Grand Piano when converting from an .all file to a .mid file. Bast(quy) program.

Can we submit files which have been or will be uploaded to J2O?

No, this is just fine.

Nothing is stopping you. But I have to say that PREVIOUSLY released songs stand a greater chance of being left out of the pack, IFF the pack will grow too big for (downloading) comfort.

->probably going to do a labrat remix

Topic revival time! As you've got roughly two months left to get your submissions in and because this update was requested.

Deadline still stands at 30th of May and, like last time, the musicdisk itself will be released about a week later.

Current number of entries: 2... -_-'

w00tness.

Haze, if i had a program I could use I'd enter something. Can't work with column music, arggg.

Holy expletive! *gets tracking immediantly*

I'm working one right now as I'm speaking. It's based on the Orbitus tune.

I almost forgot about this! OMG. Gotta go remixing. Now! Acid isn't gonna be happy about this.

*kicks the topic*

Hello everyone, time to draw your attention once again to this happening. Deadline stands at the 30th of May and the number of current submissions now ranks at 5!
Aside from that, we've already broken the 10MB barrier (uncompressed) on this disk. Better get yourself a *DSL-connection or a good download-manager.

Let me be the first to say W00TNESS.

Has Pho given you her submissions yet?

And I hope me and AcId will help increasing hte number. I don't care about the weight, I can even download for hour, if I'll have to.

How do you think we've broken that 10Meg barrier? @ Pho

Hmm... I'll try to finish mine too before the 30th... should work out nice...
(totally forgot this whole thread, thats why I'm replying this late)

Mine is more or less done, though I am rather dissatisfied I'll be sending it in probably quite soon.

Page 2, claimed in the name of 6Fish.

*kicks the topic*

Hello all! Time to remind you once again that the deadline for your entry (entries?) to this spectacular musicdisk is creeping up closer and closer.

Contact me for submission details. And remember: deadline at the 30th of May. So hurry!

O_O

*runs around the room screaming*

I've got a Crysilis, Tubelectric, and Muckamok song to send in, but all the instruments have been reset to Grand Piano, and the only instrument that should be a piano at all is in Crysilis! BUT NOT ALL OF THEM!!

Why, Cubase?! WHY?!! *breaks down sobbing*

Traftie, working with Midi? Contact me on MSN (phoenixwing_90@hotmail.com) and I'll see if I can help. I've been using Cubase for quite a lot.

Err...Thanks for the offer, but I have no input device, nor speakers to hear what I am making. Besides, I lack the talent. But thanks for the offer, anyway. ;-P

...Would you mind if I were to ask for your help as well? Cubase is a tardbasket, and I'll need all the help I can get.
