So with just a vocal melody in E... we're free to come up with our own chord changes? Or are the chords changes available?

[@JWLearning]

@@TheFlowNetwork free to make up your own chords

[@TheFlowNetwork]

I agree with the suggestion that it would be cool to hear all the submissions. More fun for the whole community...and this is a community building exercise, at heart. Maybe post them on your website?

[@heartwithreason]

No offense Miss Krystle but can you please send the a-cappella without all the effects on it? It’s incredibly difficult to work with it as given. Edit: You can keep the autotune but please take away the delay, reverb and distortion. Thanks.

[@xephlo]

Dry vocal is the term you're looking for.

[@heartwithreason]

Yes it is but seeing as this is her first attempt to create a remix contest I want to be as specific as possible and not confuse her with music production jargon.

[@shaverred1030]

@@heartwithreason you're completely right. Ive been trying to re tool it but man those effects are really ruining my remix

[@heartwithreason]

Thanks for agreeing. I also tried to “de-effect” the vocals but it was too hard and I’m an intermediate producer… imagen beginners! I sent her an email through her Miss Krystle website. Maybe you can too so she gets as much attention to this issue as possible.

[@Neil3D]

Just a quick suggestion for future contests... depending on the volume of submissions there's a chance there'll be far too many of them for you guys to physically listen through, meaning many people could be sinking up to 2 weeks of their life creating something that doesn't even get heard by you guys never mind the audience here. I hear and appreciate the mights and maybe suggestions about potential future collab work but that isn't a guarantee, the only guarantee for the 1 winner is $150 and that's just not worth the time. So my suggestion would be to take ALL of submissions, and publish a randomised 30 second sample of each remix to your website and let the audience listen to them, you can still have the final say but at least people know their work will have a solid chance of being heard by their peers and not just lost into a black hole after submission. I weighed up the time investment vs benefits of having a go at this contest myself and like I said in my other comment, the 'fun' element to this is dampened because after I submit, there's a very very high chance nobody will ever hear what I've created, that eliminates the fun of it for me personally. Just a suggestion though, good luck!

[@ThatOrko]

All submissions will be listened to. Thank you for your suggestions I'll take them into consideration for the next contest.

[@NunSuperior]

This sounds fun. It's hard to get good stems to practice with. Update : Oh, bummer. The 'stems' are just the vocals. I was hoping for all the instruments each on a separate track. That's what I think of when I hear 'stems'. I'm learning mixing/mastering so I can't really do much with just the vocals. Oh well.

[@direktive4]

crowdsourcing = free labor

[@Maxume]

Wow, looking at some of the comments here, it appears making music for fun has left the building. It's a pity too, 'cause the OG song sounds really cool. If my spare time allows for it over the next week or 2, I'm definitely gonna submit an entry.

[@muttstudios9731]

Yeah I saw the comments complaining about the small prize money. Sure, it's small, but the prize isn't the point of this contest, I don't think. I done made my remix and submitted it this morning lol. Had fun doing it and loved the challenge.

[@Maxume]

@@muttstudios9731 I wish I were that fast. If I could work on it every night, it would probably take me a week just to pick the right sounds.

[@muttstudios9731]

@Maxume Well yeah I just picked a preset on the amp sim and took a few hours to write and record the sections for the guitar, then bass, then drums. Added some screams and then a quick mix. Then several tweaks and mixes lolol. Then done.

[@direktive4]

'making original music and handing it over for free has left the building.' - there i fixed it for you

[@BaneKobaine]

Ok Ok Ok So does the mix have to stay in the same key and BPM? I understand you listed it, but there is nothing in the rules that say that it has to stay the same. Please confirm Muchas Gracias 🙏🙏🙏

[@ThatOrko]

Nope. You can change key and BPM

[@BaneKobaine]

@@ThatOrko awesome! thx | great vocals and production, btw; I'm nosey, I read comments. F*** what ya heard - it's fire! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Congrats on your first conest guys!!

[@raphaelward1711]

$150 dollars is not even paying for the job, music business is so dead

[@PayDaProducer]

Im gonna start on this in a few hours. Thanks for the opportunity 🙏🏽

[@JWLearning]

Submitted! Spent the weekend on it, was fun to do. Hope you like it! :)

[@JWLearning]

Gonna give this a shot!

[@parabiosis]

Can we put some teasers out on social media and tag you in it?

[@jamesmags]

Great idea! I just produced and released my first song last week. This channel was a HUGE help in understanding all the hoops to jump through. The contest will be a great opportunity for me to practice.

[@PhaseControlDNB]

Is it intentional that the remix pack doesn't include dry vocal track?

[@edexter97]

I like the wav version better it truly sounds alot different because of cakewalk glitches. reused your voice but I think that is within the spirt of the contest. I also used landers synth x. Truely with the vocals it can be good if it glitches out a little to stay out of the way of the vocals and then solo give the singer a rest. Much different than the Madonna remix I tried to do.

[@ryde2012]

Sounds great will enter 👍🏾🔥

[@kology10000]

Lookin forward to hear these mixes lol. Would you consider droppin a version with an open verse for a rapper/singer competition as well??? Just saved the song and played it through on Spotify.

[@csincos989]

After everything is said and done, will there be a reaction video with the winner? Would like to hear what Rick Beatos' reaction would be...? 👍

[@robertgoodsell5549]

Great job counsel!!!

[@KhurtKhave669]

Got the lyrics up online where people can go over them?

[@AshbyUnlimited]

Submitted, that was a lot of fun!

[@ThePointOfVolitility]

I just did an off shoot from a song and it was almost the same BPM and Key of E....well I don't have but Audacity and Suno but I don't feed it anything but my own original ingredients...but regardless ill do my thing and within the rule set.

[@ThePointOfVolitility]

I use DAW, like instruments except my acoustic guitar but I play piano don't have one so I use the Bandlab instruments,minus the guitar..yuck..lol but also i use- One Motion online-Chord progression ..years now.. anyway I got what y'all are saying 😊

[@muttstudios9731]

I saw this video this morning and just submitted my remix! I dropped it down to drop B and made it metal lol

[@IndegruvMusic]

Edit: I found a workaround but had to ditch the mastered versions and went w the original file....--- So I made 2 remixes, had em mastered, but they are over 10 meg file size? Y'all said no time limits probably should have mentioned the file size limit tho. I'm not happy uploading chopped down versions and low quality mp3 to promote my abilities. Got 2 songs now can't do anything with em. I think they were actually my best sampling work I've done. Bummer.

[@bdbeats7209]

I'm all about this!

[@demodeiowa]

is it ok if we sample our own original work purposely made from scratch to use in the remix?

[@Leakz2.0]

create an open verse challenge for us artists please

[@ryde2012]

Really enjoyed doing a remix for the competition the vocals have a really catchy melody 🔥💯

[@nss_BoB]

Just submitted my dnb remix, hope you enjoy it. Good luck to everyone participating!

[@HVYCHKNRADIO]

Hmmm…sounds easy enough. I’ll give it a shot, hopefully the winner gets more than $150 maybe some music subscriptions or something like that. An incentive or contract to song rights? I just entered a remix contest for Label Radar and the Top prize is $10,000 not saying anything just sayin. Maybe sweeten the pot a little bit, artists and the music industry have taken a hard hit in the last year.

[@Daysofsamara]

Submited my Hybrid Metal remix few hours ago. Hope you like it. The vocal line is very catchy and so, easy to work with! I didn't receive any submission confirmation by email, hope everything worked fine? Good Luck to everyone

[@jthomaskay]

This is interesting ánd could be the subject of a "rights" video. If you offer stems to others to create derivative works, how does that affect use of your song? By offering stems, would that not grant them the right to use them? I'm asking because I like the idea of others remixing my songs, but it seems like it would give them rights as derivative works. They would own the master (most of it) of their own version and would share in publishing of the new work, similarly as if someone would cover a song. The difference would be using your stems, of course, that contain the melody, lyrics and recorded version of the vox.

[@apatsa_basiteni]

Good stuff. Is the key E minor or Major?

[@Daysofsamara]

E Major or you can use Emin Capo2 if you want to use minor scale

[@apatsa_basiteni]

@@Daysofsamara hehe thanks man

[@SYN420]

I'll say it... I love you ❤ 😊

[@pnutbuttajellee1394]

[@BenDiGedigMusic]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the rules are pretty watertight, right? :D

[@ZumaDogg]

Get a bunch of producers to work for free and the winner only gets $150. Nice! 😂

[@BBoldGaming]

Technically it’s working for free promo of your producer work… and who knows who else they will show that version to on there part… also… you can sell it, add your writers and make some bread… Jusayin.. it actually is a good opportunity

[@ZumaDogg]

@BBoldGaming no. You can't sell it. But good for this attorney/Artist to get people to submit without paying them and then choosing the one she likes for only $150. People are desperate and will do it. Good for her.

[@KhurtKhave669]

Spoken like a true talentless biiish. 🤣 Real musicians can whip this shizz out in no time.

[@Daysofsamara]

This is a contest for fun first and foremost. If your schedule is too busy to participate, then don't participate. I am also a producer and I absolutely do not see this as "work for free". The artist offers the fruit of his work so that we can have fun with it. The song is cool, the artist does not ask you for revision and you have no artistic constraints from a label. Basically, you do what you want. I made my version, it took me 3 hours in total, I had fun and it's always interesting to dive into the universe of another artist . Music is an art above all. And art is also sharing and connecting between people. If, as a producer, your goal is only financial, well, there is plenty to do in 2024. It has never been easier to publish your music and find artists willing to pay for a good producer. No need to come and complain in the comments of a KZbin video.

[@ZumaDogg]

@Daysofsamara wow, that's quite a long response. Sorry I didn't take time to read past first couple sentences. My opinion remains valid. It's not a debate. Not everything is up for debate. Sorry you wasted your time writing a book to respond to me

[@mrmikemrmike]

Have Fun Peeps!

[@FUTURESaiLOR_AI]

If I submit an AI remix just for fun, knowing it won't be considered for judging, would that be okay? I definitely don’t want to get sued! 😇🙃🤖

[@ThatOrko]

No AI this time.

[@LynnColeMusic]

aw man... how about local ai?

[@LynnColeMusic]

Y'know what? f it. I can do this without ai

[@ThePointOfVolitility]

Wow the instruments really absorb the vocal effects, the vocal stems really sound ... different..alot of reverb and gain bouncing down a gritty textured tunnel..your vocals are very expressive emotionally and love your idk what you call it range i suppose...but im not knocking the effects at all when the music snd instruments are combined it sounds amazing ive got songs i didnt have a female vocalist so i ..sang it edited it and uploaded it to suno to get the vocals...anyway sorry everyone im uncouth and have no social etiquette, and ramble on .

[@anthonywillock]

Can we write a verse but use an A.I. voice? To give a virtual artist-type vibe. Like creating a persona?

[@DedVerse]

whats the point in remixing your song if i cant upload to youtube or SoundCloud basically pointless.

[@climjames]

It is a contest. Fun for the fans.

[@DedVerse]

i dont mean any disrespect but i was going to remix the song until i heard the mix on the vocals id prefer dry vocal stems the effects are too powerful and muddy multiple parts are crunching and peaking due to the distortion and delay stacking.

[@SenzoClive]

Which country are you from?🙆😂

[@ThatOrko]

It's just how we're running this particular contest it's the first time I've opened up a remix contest.

[@Neil3D]

@@DedVerse The fact that the rules state no samples or anything suggests the remix will or might get published to DSP's for commercial gain... so you could argue this isn't even a contest, it's kinda exploiting cheap labour in a way. Very very cheap labour. I wouldn't get out of bed for $150 for a days work never mind potentially 2 weeks of work, and with all due respect the shout-out on a channel this small isn't going to amount to much. If this is purely being done for KZbin content then fair enough, it's a bit of fun, but if the remix gets published to Spotify or sold direct-to-consumer then it makes this all a bit shady in my opinion.
