I've taken part of a contest!

Posted by MaestroRage - October 2nd, 2008

Hey people!

Another rewrite, potentially one more week left of the poll)

Last month I participated in a contest being held over at http://www.audiojungle.net which entailed taking a short melodic motif and turning it into a short 30-60 second song. I in fact submitted this song last week, findable on my audio page.

The contest prize is a wonderful Mbox Pro 2 which would be an incredible tool to use. I would for example, never have to worry about lag again, about unstable performance which resulted in me having to stop working on many songs. Too many crashes and failures just killed the inspiration right out of me.

Please help me get this tool and help me continue creating works for free and without worry! Please click this link and vote for my entry (findable about halfway!)

Every vote counts! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for any and all assistance to making it happen!

Thank you! Very grateful for the vote :D!

Alright, I voted, I hope it helps out bud!

MaestroRage 2008-10-02 15:44:49

It will, thanks a huge heap Cold! Seriously means a lot :]

Also, where is Psion's Law 3?!

:'(

glbracer 2008-10-02 16:07:21

dude! check ur inbox, plz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MaestroRage 2008-10-02 16:07:21

Checked, sorry, hope I wasn't too late :P

glbracer 2008-10-02 16:08:20

voted for u, ur in the lead in 37%, u got NG on ur side

MaestroRage 2008-10-02 16:08:20

Thanks! I'm truly very grateful for all the Newgroundians who helped, including yourself :D! I honestly didn't expect such support, it really is moving.

Sonofkirk 2008-10-02 16:11:07

I voted for you my dude :) => MaestroRage's Entry 37% (38 votes)

MaestroRage 2008-10-02 16:11:07 (Updated 2008-10-02 16:29:50)

Awesome! Thanks! I can't shake off the feeling the other guys are going to make their move soon. I hope this monumental support will be enough :D

Ludzix 2008-10-02 16:19:21

Help'd.

This AudioJungle site looks kinda cool, but I bet it's real hard to make serious money with it :)

MaestroRage 2008-10-02 16:19:21 (Updated 2008-10-02 16:30:34)

It's definitely not something you'd go to make lots of hardcash. But it's a good place to make some change. Good ambient pieces sell well there, and I think you could make a few good bucks too! Get right in thar Ludzix!

Also much thanks for the vote!

I have a good feeling you're going to win. XD

MaestroRage 2008-10-02 16:30:35

It looks that way, but I have this nasty feeling that the other guys have yet to make a move. Some of these guys are made musicians so I can't imagine them having no name. Surely they are waiting...

waiting to take away this shining hope I has :'(

Thanks a LOT for the vote JonBro! Every bit helps!

M4KBOT 2008-10-02 16:37:53

I voted for you and I really hope you win!

MaestroRage 2008-10-02 16:37:53

Thanks Nicholas! It looks like a very solid thing, but I'm still worried that the other guys have yet to make a move. They're planning something... I can smell it >_>

Thanks again for the vote, really means a lot!

molkman 2008-10-02 16:44:11

So, it means you are making your music with real synthesisers? Or "just" programs like Reason?

MaestroRage 2008-10-02 16:44:11

I am right now only programs. Though with this MBox even that limit will be removed to several degrees, as I can finally connect so many things through it!

And I use Fruity Studios. Reason is great and all, but it's samples are a little limited for my taste.

ColdReaver 2008-10-02 16:47:36

Lol, It's nearly finished, I just got a couple more scenes to animate and add some extra stuff. Shouldn't be much longer now =)

MaestroRage 2008-10-02 16:47:36

well good then. Let us know when it's ready ;D!

FreelancerFinale 2008-10-02 16:53:07

I voted for you, good sir... even though I haven't heard any of the others. I'm sure yours is the best, though. I mean, what can triumph over the Maestro? Besides computer lag, of course.

It's at forty-six votes now... and you didn't even have to bribe us!

MaestroRage 2008-10-02 16:53:07

200... 300... 400... yes this bribe money will also be useful for upgrades.

Lag is a fierce demon. It mauls me every day. I want to maul it back, thanks for helping that happen :D!

Rucklo 2008-10-02 16:59:37

Yer going strong! Voted, fo course. Good luck winning this, it looks really good for oyu atm!!! :)

MaestroRage 2008-10-02 16:59:37

hey Rucks! Sariously does. Here's hoping one of the other guys don't have a following of one MILLION fans, and wins by like 40,000 votes.

Here's hoping...

thanks for the vote, means a lot!

gekko007 2008-10-02 17:13:57

voted, but can't listen on iPod touch, my earplugs are too far away( yes, I'm lazy)
I bet its good anyway : P

Good luck! :)

Also, this message took way too long to write >_> so I'll stop now

MaestroRage 2008-10-02 17:13:57

noice :D! From an iPod Touch eh?

Well thanks for spending the time to vote and write that! Much appreciated!

Incognitus 2008-10-02 17:14:14

Looks like you were set to win already, but I left you a vote to be safe.

MaestroRage 2008-10-02 17:14:14

The second place person is making his move! He's catching up! Thank you for your vote, it is truly appreciated :D!

3D-xelu 2008-10-02 17:33:57

oh you will win this one... VOTED*

MaestroRage 2008-10-02 17:33:57

here's hoping. I don't think the others will take this lying down. They'll start moving soon i'm just not sure. One has already started, I wonder how far he will go.

Thank you for your vote! Really, means a lot.

super-gerbil 2008-10-02 17:54:22

For you I leave my support young sir.
