My December MD Contest submission

My December MD Contest submission

2004-12-16 by sidstationownsyou

I finished a track for the December contest (using only E12-CB). Where should I upload my 
files to? Should I make a new folder call "December Contest" inside the "Machinedrum 
Contest" folder?

I'll fix this in a little bit by archiving last month's entries.  I've
been busy and haven't gotten to it; sorry about that.  try submitting
later on today, if that's alright.

OK.  I've removed and archived november's entries.  feel free to post them for this month.  

please note that I've also changed the file size rule - you can have a file length up to 1MB 
now!  so however long your submission is, it's fine; just make sure you don't exceed the
file size limit!  hopefully, everyone's OK with this; it seems to be a better rule than the 30 
second one (which 90% of the people, including myself, exceeded anyway).

I don't usually participate in the contest, due to usual lack of time
(well, I'm lazy really...)

But I think that the 30 sec. time limit was better than the 1MB limit 
(which could be much longer than 30 sec. at a low or variable bitrate).

if 30 sec. is not enough, you could raise it to 45-60 sec. and also 
impose a 1MB limit.

Everything IMHO obviously

well, I'm certainly up for changing it to whatever.  I just thought it 
would be nice
to have a less-restrictive contest this month.  especially since it may 
be our last
one hosted by this group.

anyway, I hope the voice of the group will be heard - speak up and I'll 
do whatever
the majority wants!
