You'll audition just like every other beta tester. : |inthesto wrote:I call beta-testing.
@bluetrain: everyone has a clean slate this time. You weren't the only one who dropped out and/or had to be dropped, and I don't harbor any ill will towards those that did. Just audition like everyone else and we'll see what happens.
------------------------------------------
Wanted to address a few other things.
1. I've only gotten a handful of song submissions. That's going to make it really tough to make a song mix without delving into my own collection, and I'm not too hot on doing that. So please, if you have anything to send, now would be the good time to do it.
2. Some of the submissions I've been getting are, well... how do I describe this...? "Epic" would be the word, I think. I mean, I personally really like the songs that I'm being given, but some of them aren't exactly things that you can work easily into a MEP mix. I strongly encourage those who haven't to watch Reflections of Style 3, because that's the style of music I'm aiming for. It's stuff that isn't mainstream, but has enough of that kind of sound that makes songs somewhat easier to mix together.
3. Please try to avoid giving me songs that were featured in the MEPs I linked. I wouldn't mind using one or so songs that were in other great MEPs, but the thing is that those songs are already associated with great segments in peoples' minds. I don't particularly want to be known as the MEP that tried to duplicate Euphoria, y'know?
4. If you're thinking of working with any particular games, please try to rip/capture them first before you sign up with them. It doesn't take that long to try it out, and there are a number of guides on the site that spell out how to do that. If I pick you for the project, and you realize afterwards that your game doesn't really work, you can, of course, change games, just so long as they abide by the rules I set.
I think that's everything.
