I agree. Most MEPs I've watched were a total waste of time. Mainly it's these band tribute MEPs that take the cake at sucking..Minion wrote:i wanna stop seeing all of these band tribute MEPs. i don't think i've ever watched one that didn't suck.
Anyone ever hear of megamixes? They are usually done and done well through trance type music, yet people keep creating these damn boring rock meps. :\
And I'm sick of people doing their own mixes unless it's AtomX's mixes because he seems to know how to do them right, other than that, they should take already existed megamixes and make a huge project out of it and focus on the build up in the audio when it happens and make sure to edit accordingly.
It's one thing to have an idea, like it, then make a thread telling people to join your project, it's another to get some ideas thrown on the table and have a discussion about these ideas, decide what's good, find someone willing to coordinate the project and then starting an official thread for it. I choose the latter.. maybe we'd get more interesting meps if we actually had a thread dedicated to the discussion of mep ideas. What do you think?

most of those mep projects start out as "interest gagues" to see if anyone is even interested in the project... which i believe goes almost exactly like your idea: a discussion on weather people want to do it/it will work or not....
as far as im concerned if people want to make "crappy" meps let them... this is a hobby after all, its meant to be enjoied by the creators as well...

By all means, make the biggest pile of meps that you can, that doesn't bother me.. it's that the meps aren't too creative, and a discussion of ideas can go a long way. You may think someone creating a dedicated thread to one idea is almost like my idea, it isn't. Random threads popping up with someone going "OMG linkin park mep!! *interest gague*" is not discussing Ideas, it's discussing an idea, therefor isn't anything like my idea. Having a thread with an already started idea and going from there is different than having a discussion on some mep ideas and then seeing what people think of them, instead of having a thread dedicated to just one. We may be able to come up with a lot of interesting ideas through a discussion of ideas IMO, it wont hurt to try I don't think.

I'm honestly thinking of doing something MEP related soon, and since the other guide thread was locked after 2 years of no posts i gues this has become the defacto sticky for advice...
Anyway, what's the best way to ensure quality asside from handpicking all the editors for the project and hoping they'll give you the time of day / commit to the project? I'm interested in keeping the quality of what i'm proposing fairly high, and really wasn't sure of how to go about setting up a thread here when the time comes - a screening of past work? Of course i plan to pass the mix i'm using around to people before hand... but if worse came to worse and everyone was busy (as i can see many people are), what would be the more acceptible means of saying "i don't want people in this project that suck?"
