Yas Forums original song tournament

nah, it wouldn't be fun.
dubbi would win

You don't know that.

OP here, I need your opinions. Why or why not should we admit submissions from various platforms (I know not everyone has Spotify). Should we be inclusive or elitists, and why?

Alright I'd just submit my favourite track I've made for a Yas Forums album

I don't put my music on spotify (I only make an occasional submission for Yas Forums or [s4s] album so I just do not think the investment would be worthwhile) so I would appreciate if soundcloud was an acceptable option

Sounds wholesome.
Vote 1 WINCING.

Bump for interest.

So I've been thinking. Is Soundcloud our best bet? If we include Spotify I see an issue in both that not all participants have songs submitted there, and not all potential voters would be able to listen to the tracks.

I also think dividing genres would overcomplicate things.
Thoughts?

Soundcloud is best for this idea. Better to keep it open to all genres.

I agree with this user

Neither. That would just result in shilling. I think vocarroo or clyp. That way people can listen to the song without preconceived notions, and it'd also prevent Dubbi from faggoting it up with his garbage shilling.

I'd be interested in such a tournament. It'd be hard for me to pick one song though, cause I've written and recorded like 400+ songs across damn near every genre

Seething dubbi haters are lame. Your idea is lame. Your 400 songs are probably lame.

Shut the fuck up! We hate dubbi

fuck off. we hate dubbi for good reasons. he has a mu makes an album thread going right now so he can steal music.

Can someone tl;dr me the whole thing about dubbi?

You sound pretty scared of losing to dubbi lmao.

The only person seething is you with your hatred of real musicians, Dubbi is the death of real musicianship.

you obviously haven't had your music stolen by him. dubbi is an asshole

Ok so how do we avoid this turning into a shill/dump thing? We're looking for actual engagement and participation.

Instead of avoiding it like a pussy we could just embrace it and have fun.

Actually no, dubbi is the one who's lame.

how are we lame? dubbi is a legit self centered asswhipe

I know what we can do to compromise. Main objective is helping the community out while having fun, so all songs obligatorily have to be submitted through vocaroo in order to participate; but compromises and incentives have to be done, so participants are allowed to share their Soundcloud/Bandcamp/Spotify links ONCE in the thread too so listeners who are interested in more can find them.
Does this sound like a good plan?

>literal faggot (the kind that actually sucks mens weiners)
>horrible musician
>horrible rapper
>resorts to stealing other peoples' shit and passing it off on his own
>horrible gimmick. 3rd rate ICP clown ripoff
>shits up every /prod/ and /shill/ thread.

again, anonymous upload sources (maybe even a rule to omit your name/band name from the song description)

there's 100 shill threads a day for shilling. Go to one of them and have your fun

>shits up every /prod/ and /shill/ thread.
Don't forget how he hijacks every /mu makes an album/ thread

This will give Dubbi the opportunity to do something, we literally can't do this

Do I have to sing? Can I just do an instrumental piece?

im down

Anything goes. Might set a limit on song length (8-10minutes tops?) for convenience sake.

So I want more anons' thoughts on this anonimity take. Who's in favor and who's against it and why?

You could perhaps allow the winner to reveal their name/project at the end? But submissions should be anonymous

I think anonymity is inessential but if more people are for it (or neutral) or against it we can do this anonymously. In fact, I think some people might be considered to share a track if it's anonymous, if they are unsure of their musical abilities and want to take part of boredom.

The problem would be that Dubbi could post something anonymously and trick us into listening to his music.

Now that I think about it, isn't 10 minute songs too much? Consider that voters would have to listen to several tracks (of course we could divide the voting rounds by day to give people more time to listen to the tracks). Don't know, just a thought.

Yeah the 10 minute limit was a ploy to try to sneak dubbi's shitty edm songs in

How about we just scrap the tournament and make a "dubbi is a faggot" album where the beats are so bad, he wouldn't want to steal them, and the lyrics are all about how he puts stuff in his butt?

Maybe we could make it anonymous during voting but after the final round everyone is allowed to share and shill away. If anyone breaks anonimity before the tournament is over we could make it an instant disqualification by rule.
The only issue I now see is what's stopping anyone from submitting multiple songs if it's all done anonymously?

you can spot a shitty dubbi track from a mile away. It's like if you gave a retarded 6 year old garageband and he just started putting random loops and samples in.

this is a great idea, fuck dubbi

Have them submit to you with their name, but it's anonymous to voters.

>If anyone breaks anonimity before the tournament is over we could make it an instant disqualification by rule.
I like this

>what's stopping anyone from submitting multiple songs if it's all done anonymously?
good point. I don't really have a solution to that problem. But to be honest, there aren't many actual musicians on this godforsaken board. Just wannabe fagtano-type music critics and autistic kpop stans. So maybe more songs being submitted would help the tournament be a success. Bad songs will be fleshed out pretty quickly, and the cream will rise.

I seriously don't want to run that kind of risk. He stole my music last year and I'm still upset.

if you uploaded it to any platform before he stole it, you can use the time/datestamp as proof it's yours and copystrike his gay ass

I wish. But no. I made it for a Mu Makes An Album thread and he stole it from the thread and had an album made out of those songs from the thread before we knew it.

that's partly on you, m8. Always have proof that it's yours.

that's just a based move

yeah that's not gonna happen if you take care of having proof it's yours BEFORE uploading anything

stealing music is for talentless hacks. You sound like dubbi

Are you serious? We were making an album together, none of the anons in the thread were prepared for someone to randomly steal our work. What ever happened to working together.

Dubbi is not based at all. And his music sucks.

Have them submit to you with their name, but it's anonymous to voters
this isn't a bad idea

We should probably have a rule where the video must be uploaded onto YouTube before it can count for the tournament.

>Are you serious?
yeah I'm serious. Even when I contribute to any thread like that, I always at the very least upload it to my clyp or soundcloud with a little description and link to the thread. Cover your ass.

You sound insecure that a guy dressed like a clown is outsmarting you.

get a real job, dubbi. your mom needs rent.

this could work

I'd set up a burner email just for the contest. To insure contestants and avoid thefts, whoever doesn't have a soundcloud/bandcamp/spotify/youtube account with their shit already they have to prove they've uploaded their submission to youtube (it can be set to private or whatever if they don't want to make it public).

Of course there'll be some shitposts submitted but that's half the fun.

Then I'd set up the brackets with vocaroo links to all the tracks and we're good to go.

that sounds like a good idea. how many tracks would you take?
