I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY!

I went from #4 to #42 and nobody has any idea of how many remixes they'll be listening to. I can't compete with the support your regular LP remixers have, and most of the people that know my music are underground hip-hop heads....which isn't LP. It's frustrating...
I almost feel like cheating since it really doesn't mean that I'll win anyway. sad.gif

Well i relaxed a bit thinking that the contest finishes in July and the album is out September, so surely they will pick a fair few to listen to, i guess they also know that many of the top remixes will have had backing from friends etc etc. I just HOPE that they aren't just gonna pick the top ten and be done with it...

Man I don't know what to tell you either... Yours' definitely my top 5.

Hope you're right and they don't pick only a few.

http://www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/23712 - The Catalyst (A. Staten Remix)

Didn't think I was going to be able to get a submission done for this, but everything came together over the weekend in a pretty awesome manner. Got my recording interface working, found a place to record where I could crank my amp really loud, and found someone who let me borrow their bass to finish the track. About 30 hours of hard work later, this is the end result.

Well considering that your remix is too short and doesn't fit with the requirements set in the rules, I can't see you being in the top 30.

And no one deserves to be in any particular spot, they should have to earn it, and not have it be a popularity contest.

/my two cents



yeh because this guy really earned the 21st rank.

http://www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/23106

>_>

garbage.

still say mine should be in the top 30 or so.. a lot of the mixes out there are ok.. or jus poorly done.. yet they sit in the top 20..

Yeah, that's good. Throw other people's work under a bus - that'll get yours noticed for sure. Just ask DangerSilent how that worked out here for them.

Thing is, I don't think it'll simply come down to the votes. I think many entries will be reviewed, regardless of where they finish in the vote because any vote like this is going to be flawed.
Trang
The 4 first places are so the best entries... Not necessarily in the order I think is the best...

Alex, David, zwieR.Z. and Timothy... But David Newton is also very good.
The 5th place I think is so offbeat.

The whole DangerSilent saga was incredible to watch. But yeah when Mike said in the video that we'd have to promote ourselves in order to get to the top i wondered how they are gonna filter out the ones that just have votes entirely from friends. I mean perhaps thats what we were meant to do, just get as many votes as possible whether or not we've actually made a good mix! (

I think that what Alex did with the pitch of the melody is a good idea, but because all the vocals are already processed it just doesn't flow too well. I'm not bashing it at all i think it's a very clever idea, but being a perfectionist when I'm recording, i just notice you can clearly tell the vocals have been manipulated.


I've listened to a few in the top ten but i cant remember the name of any specific ones, i know a few are very electronic, so i just cant see LP picking a song thats gonna sound similar to the original (After reading that French magazine's reviews

Wich makes me think they already started listening to a few tracks that are in the top 10/20.
Not to mention that LP's official facebook started to promote a random remix.

The first places are not directly proportional to the level of music.
I heared a lot of Great Remixes that are out of the First 25 places...

Correct. Some have huge fanbases , some don't .
We can only hope LP listens to more remixes other then the top 10.
(mainly hope this because im somewhere around the 30th xD)

I don't know about winning or not but I hope Linkin park will be fair and listen to everyone's at least. Even if they're not in the top 20 or so. I'm working on my piece and it's taking me some time due to all the things I'm doing so then when i upload I probably won't have a chance at all to reach the top numbers. At least have someone listen through them all?

Would you be able to listen to over 1000 remixes?

no, but that's why i said they'd have at least various people listen to them to see if they were worth while. I think it's unfair because they did give us the time period. Some people do work harder or take longer and it just makes sense that they should give everyone a chance. The ranking is not always positively correct

You cannot access to the submissions because your country isn't allowed to take part in the contest. Same goes for me...that's why it's always nice to see youtube links with the "indabamusic" links...

Hai guyz. I thought I would leave LPL with some lulz, because Legend loves LPL, Legend loves lulz, and LPL loves legend lulz. So, let's move on to the lullzy lulz of all that have been lulzed.

Exhibit A: "Hello, My Name Is Go 'Fruck' Yourself!"




LOL! Are you serious DangerSilent? You do it better? A word hasn't been invented on how idiotic your attitude is. Chester Bennington says hi... no wait, a little more on your level. Mike Shinoda? Not quite your level. Phoenix! Wait, he can still sing better than you. I got it. I found someone on your level!



Actually, I take it back. I still can't find someone on your level. Maybe you can call one of your bazillion connections and ask for William Hung.

Exhibit B: Lemm' Show You Some Of My Edumacation, Fool!



You know, sometimes it's people like you that make me want to kill myself and everyone around me, as violently as possible. So I'm guessing ALLLLLLL those people that voted for Alex can't hear music and don't have ears? Damn man. I voted for Alex. Last time I checked, I have two ears. Must be an illusion or something. I can swear, I'm looking in the mirror and I see two of them, unless my reflection is fucking with me. Just like you're fucking with us. My reflection is playing a joke on me. So I'm guessing DangerSilent is really just a troll sent to us by LPRussia. Now it all makes sense. P.S: I would love to see what would happen if Alex gets picked by all of Linkin Park. I would definitely like to see you back up your statement by saying that they can't hear music. You would make Legend laugh lots. Legend like laugh lots.

Exhibit C: My Name Is Danger Silent, And I Own YouTube, BITCH!



You pretty much called out all of YouTube on this. Man, that's as stupid as calling out /b/, because a large portion of /b/ is YouTube. Stupid! Stupid! How da fux can you be so arrogant? Did you type the rules out yourself? Why do you need exposure? Aren't you a BIG ASS BAND that just got back together? You have all these connections all over the land, hell, you're bigger than Linkin Park! Linkin Park needs exposure from you!

Exhibit D: CREATE-ACTIVITY



How is singing someones lyrics creative? You just pretty much took Mr. Shinodez spot and sang it with your voice. Yea, you didn't sign it exactly as Mike did, but I don't call that you being creative. Want to be creative? How about taking just the intstrumental, and writing your own lyrics, and THEN sing it. I'm sure you have the talent to do that, seeing you wrote 5 albums, toured all over, and were part of a big ass band, yo!

Exhibit E: CONNFFUUUUSSSIIING WHAT IS REEEAAAALLLL!



Man up pussy! Eye liner is for bitches! If you want to be hardcore, put on the reddest lipstick that you can find in your grandmothers makeup shoebox. You have quite an extensive list of accomplishments. I thought I would list mine aswell. At the age of 5, I ate my first Twinkie. Age 7, I had my first Twinkie sandwich, involving two twinkies, covering a layer of penut butter. Age 13, I made a Twinkie pyramid with my friends Fredrick. It took us 2,147 Twinkies in total, and took all my classmates (all 32 of them) to eat them in a whole day. We all were sick and puked Twinkie chilli. Age 18, I designed my own Twinkie product box and hung it up on my wall. Age 22, legally changed my last name to Seth Twinkie. Age 40, I now own Twinkie. I'm sorry my Twinkies are better than yours. I own it. P.S: Maybe all your haters keep stereotyping you and your girl, but one thing is for damn sure. You guys are too busy putting on each others makeup to realize you have completely contradicted yourself. Earlier you mentioned you WANTED to collaborate with LP, and now all of a sudden, you just like them and don't intend on collaborating? Damn man. Damn. I thought I was a little ruh-tard!

Exhibit F: Sucky Sucky For Me? No! Sucky Sucky for you!



This is by far the greatest thing I have ever read coming out from your ass... I mean mouth. You're BRIBING people to vote for you? What happened to your fanbase? All those people you know? Where did they all go? Man do you know how many people ALEX would bring in if he gave everyone In Coma if they voted for him? This is absurd, appalling, and damn right effing hilarious! You my friend, need to shut the fuck up (kindly)! You talk about everyone blowing Alex, yet you're blowing strangers to take their votes away from him and vote for you! I didn't know you go that way man. Your mother should be proud that you have sold yourself for some online votes. No matter how many strangers you blow, I honestly don't think you will jump from 11th place to first. People aren't that desperate for some sucking.

But now, if it was Zwier.z offering the sucking, I'm down. That's one sexy mother fucker.


DISCLAIMER: I am aware that I will most likely be banned for this post, but I don't care. Let this go down in LPL history, as the greatest ban farewell of all time.... of all time.


LEGEND YOU ARE A FUCKING GOD!!!!

Ok, here's mine. I was like 5 minutes late past the deadline. Shit, oh well. This wasn't going to win anyway and I wasn't really in it to win it. I spent about 7 hours on mine or so. Unforunately, there's a BIG problem I had with the mixing and I wasn't able to fix it. Part of the remix is soft as hell and part of it is loud as hell. You pretty much have to listen to it with headphones to hear it. Just make sure your volume is down at 58 seconds because that's when it gets super loud.
