Nice job to everyone who entered the last Music competition! Now, I suppose since I've been getting pestered to make the new competition ever since the day I won, I should step up and take the responsibility.

The theme for Music Conpetition #13 is...

ELECTRO POP/ROCK!

You can be pretty flexible with this one, As I'll accept anything from Electro to Pop to Rock; and a combination of either of the 3.
Some instrumental tips:
-Using Electric guitar with Chiptune/heavy beam VST's
-Drum Pad's with some 8 bit soundfonts

Some examples:

Spoiler:


Get creative.

As 8-bit stuffs and Anamaguchi are my top choice of music. This competition sure sounds promising, I'll give it a shot see if I got time.

Well I've got a rough start for my entry. After rendering I noticed that the piano instrument that comes with my chiptune VST had this weird static to it. For my final I'll probably space the sections of my song out and such. I'm still testing chiptune VSTs and will tinker until I get something that I like. I'll most likely leave the guitar lead in but might replace it with something that isn't so in-your-face. Anyways, enough of my blabbering.

Also, what might the deadline for the comp be?

Its pretty flexible to be honest. I'm just creating a normal chiptune song but modifying the leads later on to be electric guitars. Try listening to some electro songs on YouTube and get a general feel of the genre.

If my drums on FL Studio would work, then I'd totally enter. Good luck to all the contestants! :D

Quick question: Do the songs have to be 8-bit-esque or can they be a more pop Trance kind of electro? :)

I'm pretty sure any electro counts, chiptune/electro was just a suggestion by Doc.

Okay, just brewed up something in a little bit - kind of generic, but whatever.
Went out of my comfort zone for this one, but it turned out alright, in my opinion - bare in mind it isn't anywhere near finished. Also, ABRUPT ENDING WARNI-

I'm assuming I can't submit an original track I already made? ;P
I like your remix, Supernova! It's gotta be one of the more accurate transcriptions of the theme I've heard. Mind telling me what programs you use?

LMMS with some of their preset samples.

I hate to keep nagging this on, but shouldn't we bring this to an end? Maybe tomorrow or something? Its been nearly a full month since the competition started and it doesn't look like its getting any more entries.

Post subject:  Re: Music Competition #13~

Oh yeah, I forgot this was still going on. In that case, might as well submit something :D

Here you go, listeners!

H-heh, here's one last late submission! It's a remix of W1-1 from the original Super Mario Bros. - I was considering using an original composition, but decided it was more chiptune than electro, so yeah.
