Tito - tjobŽng.xm 5.611 - ***+ * obviously knows what he's doing but is just being flippant * ...cool! something creative...good mixture in style...but, too short.. * variation ! thanx ! i like it ! good variated patterns and a special s tyle...thanx for entering again... * I like the groove section, would have been nice if you had held it out more. Some of the ways you handled rolls sounded realistic with both hands moving and such. * Nice beginning, bit short.... * nice ending :] * Cool! Your partchanges are very good. Funny finish... But I don't count the melody at the end... * 45 seconds of something that kicks my entry. :) Nice variation of styles, and well tracked. Good work! =) 2. TheFear&Aspax - d&s-ss.xm 5.500 - ***+ * ah, some neat ideas. almost went d&b.. ALMOST, thank god. * One of the better drum tunes * ...nice kind'a jungle-part in the mid...BTW: I don't like jungle... * one of better modules, with variation and some weird effects.. ;) * There are too many rests in this song. Drums rest enough without othe r instruments, don't need them resting when they're alone. * Groovy! Nice use of panning, and the use of the samples is quite nice too. * weird. * Good rythms. Technois drumsolo. Good feel. Kicked alot. pattern 31-35 didn't rule that much * Funky, Funky... Realy Cool... Not so boring, like other songs... * w00w00, jungle shiznit. :D 3. Ben-Jam - b-j_tt30.it 5.438 - *** * good effort. obviously has a lot of real-life drumming experience * some good patterns with groove rythm, but also too many abnormal break s and unsteady sequences.... * Very nice and well written, kept my attention and stuff. * unrealistic toms * Hmm, didn't like that crashusage... Some of the breaks were rather irritating. * Finaly... A very good song again... Not boring... cool... And Filteremulation... Must be on one of the top * Yup, you're good. =) 4. Pothead - pot30a.it 5.353 - *** * impressive.. the porta'd drum idea isnt new but here it works especially well * ...good, but too short in my opinion...bit wierd... * pothead is back...some good patterns and styles, but i think u can do better than this !... * Ends rather abruptly, don't you think? Nice grooves. * Simon says "JUMP!" * nice reverbs * Techno... Super, but a little bit wired... * Not bad... :) 5. Liam The Lemming - tb-sikk.it 5.059 - *** * very very bland * ...really creative...not as boring as the other .ITs...could have been a bit longer... BTW: I don't think you'll have to be teached how to write percussion. * as usual u do what u can of the samples ! thanx ! u made me listen to the whold module ! ;) groove with a real feel.... * Would have been better if it wasn't so repetitive. You had some great communication between the different instruments. * Hey, Lemm, your base rythm isn't that good, but your addondrums are good. * It's ok... Little bit boring, but funky... But there is something missing... And, one good thing, NO MELODY... * Come back siners, all is forgiven. =( - Lemm 6. Starf0x - f0x-wate.xm 5.000 - *** * great start to things, trailed off into dorkiness * You did pretty good.. * ...too repeatish and stuff... * I am having problems giving high points... ;) * Good, but long. I can tell there was some attention to detail in this . * Th intro is nice, but the noise that comes in later really really really sucks...... * Cool drum-atmosphere. But a bit too boring. * Another Melody... little bit wired tune... This gives me a little bit the creep...... * Nice idea - when the samplepack limits you, use your imagination. Cool seashore section. ;) I caught something resembling a melody in there, tho... so I had to take off a few points. :> 7. Lonewolf - lw_cover.xm 5.000 - *** * hmm, can't think of anything interesting about this one. not too bad * ...stylish...sounds a bit like my tune...bit too repeatish... * finally ! some moving rythms with variated feel and cool effects...cya at #daskmig !! * Had some good grooves, but the patterns kept repeating themselves. * Grooooooooooovvvvvyyyyyy * good rhythm! * Drumrythms, yo * And the Second great song... WOOOOW... And funky, too.... Somebody said smetime: An unboring Song... * iiiiiiiiiiii * You underestimate yourself. ;) 8. Blackwolf - bw-kazoo.it 4.688 - *** * nice idea but lack of tracking ability shows * ...mmh...nice...this is a real drum-solo...bit too repeatish...BTW: I don't like kazoos so much... * enough ! * It might be a real drummarch, but I just don't like them. * Hmm, too much punch.. That retrig is too much used. But it's a very good composition, anyway.. * Only three tings: Boring, loud, wired... * I have NO idea what a drumline cadence is, but it sounds pretty realistic, so... :) 9. Keega-Z- - bassiks.xm 4.611 - *** * fairly original ideas * ...didn't sound as if it was made as a drum-solo...read the rules next time... * some nice patterns here, though i didn't like all the tam's...though s ome good rides... * I think the double-bass drum effect is a little bit too much. Not man y people that I know can play that fast for that long with two bass pe dals, and it's a good thing too. Other than that, nice solo. * Not exactly too much orginality. Irritating crash.. ;) * Ok, but where did you learn to changes rythem? Try it again... And a little bit boring... * Bonus point for you cos you added melody, then TOOK IT OUT after checking the rules. Good man! =) Decent percussion too, btw. Several different styles... I think... :> Certainly didn't SEEM repetitive. :) 10. Beek - tomfill.it 4.118 - **+ * hrm * ...didn't like this so much...don't ask me why... * yeah, speed is good and it makes the mod slide really good with a spec ial feel, also some good variations.... * There were some quite odd tempo changes in there. But other than that , it's got some great grooves. * I don't know, sometimes it just doesn't feel right..... * weird tempo * Melody... But funky... PS: What is wrong with the speedsettings in the song? * uhmmm... boink, or something :) 11. Yannis - ybtt30.it 4.111 - **+ * some nice ideas, albeit seriously cluttered * That was awesome, even for a drum solo. You even did better than the guy who broke the rulez. P-) * ...not bad...sounds a bit unrealistic...sorry, but there was kind'a bass line in the mid part...too short piece, too... * i don't like that u made a melodic tune * Was kinda slow getting started. Once it got started, it came into a n ice groove. Too many musical notes, though. * THE WINNER! Nice intro, great tune! * it has melodies.. * Hey, isn't melodies forbidden? * A Techno melody.... A boring Technosong... * You chipped one of the samples, Yannis. THAT'S MELODY. *extreme BAP* 12. Butterloaf - bl-tt30.it 4.059 - **+ * ...something interresting...bit wierd...what should that chip-tom- melody-part in the mid??? Some samples seemed to be manipulated... * u need some variations ! * There was too much going on that didn't fit together well. * Nice use of panning! Sounds very real. * good panning * Orginal! Cool usage of snare.. No irritating moment... But what, a melody! what'a'shame... But great anyway! * And again a melody... Good drums but wired tune... * NO MELODY, read the rules. :I 13. Znap - drumlong.xm 3.765 - **+ * oh my. * ...oh no...follow this golden rule: "Don't enter a compo if you can't imagine that your song wins." * I can tell this was made in a hurry. And by the way, these were good samples. * The toms R stupid, and the intro is dumb. * Amateurish, and a very irritating tom. But cool anyway, sortof... * Hey... There is a bad melody... And without it, it's the same as with it... A not very good tune... * Bit iffy. 14. Dionysus - t30-drfr.xm 3.333 - ** * ive heard much much worse * ...now I know that trance-musicians can't make propper drums... * partly good, but we need some more variations ! * Way too repetitive of the same fill, and too long. That poor drummer' s arms are gonna fall off! * repetitive. * It isn't normally for baccus to do drums * Hey!!! Little bit boring, or??? Where is "the something special"? But Ok... No Melody (that count's not for all songs!!! and then they have a bad melody,too... Only the Tune from wiz is good with a melody. .. * Bleh... got too boring too quickly. Needed at least a LITTLE more variation. :> 15. Zephyr - suckdrum.it 3.294 - ** * see name of song * ...this was really impossible...with melody at the end... * u love crashsymbals ?? i am having a nightmare of'em ! plz tune them d own ! * It wasn't impossible if you had just given it a little thought. * And again a melody... uff... Nice, but like many other tunes: wired... * Oh yeah... they DO suck. :) 16. Wiz - wiz-tt30.xm 3.222 - ** * sorry, for one i dont like chips and for two, i think it should have b been disqualified * Man! Nice chip-like-tune! Well, I won't vote for that...it's wrong placed in this compo. BTW: After your military service there'll be a comeback! I'm sure. Bye, Bye! Ahm...aren't BIG GREEN MEN kind'a ALIENS ??? AAIIiih!!! * ???????????????? * When the little green men land in your backyard, hide all of your litt le green women. * nice melodies (!) :] * WOW, cool chip.. :) BUT you broke the rules.. I like that melody.. It's a damn long time since I heard a THAT melodic chippe. Maybe I steal that inspiration.. Kill a seargant for me, okey? :) * This is an Earworm!!! Very Good, but wrong time to write that... This Chiptune will be in my Musiccollection forever... Good luck to you... Hope, we see you again... Contact me sometime: TCM.Home@T-Online.de The Coding Master * way to go man! defiance! yeah! =) * DOH! I was gonna give you a decent mark for this until I realised you CHIPPED some of the samples. *bap* 17. Void - void-hd.it 3.176 - ** * hum * ...the drums were really nice in the first few patterns...but, then I heard a melody...sorry...costs you many points... * ok, but it's partly sick ! * I like the way you did the snare drum solo. * The rythm is well done, but the 'melody' isn't so well done. * Cool drums... But loud and a melody... * Uh... 18. Bargel - barg_fb.it 2.722 - ** * yikes * ...sounded...na...ahm...urgh...argh..worgl... * i hate that kickdrum ! * Name me a drum that reverberates like that - I want to play one! * the hihats and cymbals are ugly, it seems that there's no volume control. But later it gets better. * Drumsolo? Nooooo! Boring * MELODY!!! THIS BAAAD TUNE.... GET AWAY... GET AWAY WITH IT... * I heard melody in there. One point off. I heard BAD melody in there. Two points off. The drums sucked. another point off. You're not gonna do too well here, are you? :> 19. Recc - tt30smps.xm 2.611 - ** * ugh. short enough? * ...it surely didn't take so long to write these two patterns??? Or? * unvariated, though ok enough, but variation is the point.... * Catchy, but can be added on to. * Not bad, those drums, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too short...... * too short. * I've heard rumours that say you look like latex, now, you also track as good as him... :)) No, it's a bit cool actually. * Whoo... I am in a cold, dark factory... Realy cool, but... too short... When it would be longer, it would be one of the toptunes!!! * Uhm. 20. LOgre - tt30roit.it 2.556 - ** * dunno what this is supposed to be * In world wheres nothings fair, I bestow upon thee a 9. But you'll have to earn the next one. * ...made my ears bleed... * empty for words....how do make it logre ? how do u manage to become la st everytime ? u have one hell of a record in avarage score ! u sick a nd u know it... * By the very principle of TT tradition, I must tell you that you suck. I hope you're not taking tracking seriously. If you are, read the ch ildren's fable "the boy who cried wolf." If you ever write a decent s ong, nobody's gonna notice. * Those hihats suck, the tune is repetitive, Just copy+paste, THIS SUCKS But, you've made me certain I won't end last....... * NOOOO.... MY BOXES... HELP.... Little bit boring... or? * Can't track melody... Can't track bassline... Can't track drums... Can't FOLLOW RULES... ...bloody hell. Can't you do ANYTHING? 21. Lord Jon Ray - ex705.it 2.176 - *+ * check please * ...your experiment failed... * weird ! a astrong competitor for Logre * It had a catchy tune, but this was a drum solo. Yes, there are tunabl e drums. What you used wasn't one of them. Unless I'm mistaken, of c ourse. * This sounds very.....uh...experimental.... * too much experimental! :] * Ack, STINK... This is just tom-kakaphonia. No luck this time, jon. * Like a Jungeltune... but melody again... This tune... Ohhh... My head.. * So that's your world, huh? ...I'll be going now. :> 22. Benzel - cuntfest.it 2.000 - *+ * a valiant effort at being horrible, but it didnt even reach that level * ...one word: SHIT!!!.... BTW: samples have been manipulated. * serious ? * It took way too long to get started, and had annoying cut samples. * Too repetetive, and the panning wreally sucks. * boring * Bad bad bad tracked, no drumsolo... that's my opinion * MELODY!!! AGAIN... THIS TUNE... OH MY GOD... * Spot the BASSLINE. =P ----< the trackering 1997 hall of fame >------------------------------------ 1. Yannis - ybmrtt28.it - 6.650 - TT#28 2.

If you weren't there in time, you can always get the sample- pack from ftp.cdrom.com /pub/demos/incoming/music/tt/samples, just make sure you get the most recent pack. In the samplepack there is a file called deadline.txt, this shows the date and time when the deadline is. Right after you get the pack you can begin tracking. I want all the tunes back before the following weekend, same time(1am cet/7pm est). I'll be on IRC as axl_ (of course) at that time so you can just dcc them to me, or mail it to 'axelsson@freenet.hut.fi' with either UUEncode or MIME. This is just the deadline so you can send your tune to me during the week. * Note : TT is on AnotherNet, so connect your irc-client to one of these AnotherNet servers: - neato.org - irc.netnation.com - serve.org ---- voting ---- week : 2 The vote-pack will be out 1-2 hours after the compo-deadline and the pack will be available on IRC and on FTP : - ftp.cdrom.com /pub/demos/incoming/music/tt/votepacks - ftp.arosnet.se /demo/musicdisk - filename : tt##vote.zip - where ## is the number of the contest. Everyone can judge the TT compo, but a contestant must judge it or he'll be disqualified. The voting system is a scale from 0-9. There will be a vote-form included in the vote-pack, which is almost self-explainatory :), If you need help on how to vote, then just mail me. The results will be out 1 week after the compo has ended, it'll be distributed on IRC and in the next sample-pack.
