44.1khz @ 16-bit is the cd standard all over the world

Thank you guys! I didn't clarify, but I meant if I were to upload it in lossless. Because lately I've been working with 96khz @ 24-bit lately. Which I plan on not doing in 96khz nao. Thanks guy, problem solved!

god my grammar is awful...

You can use samples like drums, because it's not stealing, and happens all the time. Drumloops are a bit more complicated, but unless they are some very obvious and complicated break or something, no one will notice (including these of ACTA)

You shouldn't sample lead melodies or basslines, but it won't hurt if you sample a single synth-hit and then put into a sampler to use as a synth sound.


You should ask yourself: am I stealing something?

But can we use samples from the show? I can see reasons why this might be an issue and also why this might be something people would like to incorporate into their tracks.

Samples from the show are easily recognizable, and considering this album will be used to generate money, that would end up being a blatant use of copyrighted material in commercial use.

Which is why we weren't allowed to use show samples for the first charity album.

Thank you! I wasn't sure because I didn't participate in Smile! and have only recently become confident enough in my skills to try taking on a project like this.

Hey guys! Deadline in 20 days, how's everyone doing on your entries?

Remember to have the 'download' link be a box.com link. Let's make this one count as much as we can! We might be able to top the success of the last one.

Just need to re-re-re-record the vocals again
MUST it be a box.com link? I have uploaded it on mediafire...

Edit: Okay... I CANNOT upload it to Box.com with a normal account. With 70 MB, the file is obviously too big...

So would dropbox be acceptable as well?

it's more difficult to preview songs in dropbox because it just autoplays, but you can use dropbox as the download I suppose. Mediafire is still preferred for download.

Wait... what?
Now I am VERY confused...
I need exact information now please: where should I upload it and what file exstension should it have?
Or just say if this is ok:
I place the link of the song as an mp3 from box.com in the "youtube" field. Then I place the wav version in the "download" field, downloadable at Mediafire.

EDIT: And I am sorry, if I am slowly annoying, I just want to make everything right :)

Based on content and quality.
Content: nothing grimdark, too intense, or creepy
Quality: No ear-rape loudness, must have proper mixing (no audio clipping, and min of 320kbps mp3), and just a generally enjoyable song to listen to.

That's literally it, the rest of the song is done. XD

Okay, the rough skeleton of the song is ready. In my head. Now I've just got to come up with some drum patterns and record the thing. I hope the file host will be with me this time.
