it's still part of the last batch.

EDIT: why do you feel it's necessary to keep asking that question? Just wondering.

BDN just sent in the fixed files. Check the email.

**jimerax** · 12-21-2010, 05:24 AM

kk.

also, I think files that cause "dropped notes" (aka don't have 2 sec silence) should go conditional queue.

EDIT: moved those 3 songs to conditional.

Floating Through Time(who_cares973) - Dropped Notes (Insert silence)
Over The Ocean (omgitznpv) - Dropped Notes (Insert silence)
The Fusion (Patashu) - Dropped Notes (Insert silence)

To be honest, I bet a lot of people wouldn't want to bother making syncing fixes if they had the chance, so I'll be willing to add silence/fix sync/whatever. Although I'm in no means obligated to do so.

who_cares973 · 12-21-2010, 12:50 PM

Yeah if you could do that bmah that'd be great. Since my home internet gome disconnected I haven't found a way to upload things from my phone yet(though I could still download so I'll still be able to judge next batch)

**qqwref** · 12-21-2010, 02:01 PM

I like the idea of having one person do all the silence fixing - I doubt every stepfile artist has the tools/knowledge to do this.

**Xandertrax** · 12-21-2010, 02:27 PM

It's not exactly a masterful art that takes years of training, you just pop an extra two seconds in with audacity, then fix the offset likewise.

**bmah** · 12-21-2010, 02:46 PM

The point is that many people just don't do it, however easy it seems.

Make it explicit and hold their hands! We don't want anybody to fail this oh how epic task ;P

Arch0wl · 12-22-2010, 05:20 PM

All right, submitted. I went by your checklist, including the 2-second-silence thing.

**customstuff** · 12-22-2010, 06:15 PM

I have a question.

If I cut certain parts out of a song to make it less repetitive... (i.e. cut out 2:10 - 2:57) and fade out the end as well, would I also be noted as a music producer? It's fine if I'm not, but I just saw certain people that just made a MIDI file of the same song or slightly altered some of it and were given the music producer title.

I want to step Love and Care by Bratkilla. He gave permission, and sent me the song himself over AIM. I wanted to include the normal part, the triplets, and the slowdown without making it too repetitive. I already cut the song, I was just wondering.

Thanks

Just get FL Studio makes some beats wala you're a producer

i should know

(This is message is only half-way sarcastic btw)

I've been making music before I joined FFR, so I'm not new to it at all

I was just wondering. That's cool if I'm not, I'd still be a simfile artist if it ever got in.

Edit: The reason I asked is just because it's a goal of mine to be both a music producer and simfile artist for FFR. I'm sure I'll get it done eventually. I came sorta close to simfile authour with my Phalanx file. Now I made changes and did what the judges said (and fixed stuff they didn't even catch) so it's reeaally good (IMO) now!

I'll take a peek at your music to see if can do something about that music producer title... we'll see.

Haha, not at all. Unless the artist requests for his or her song not to be modified, it should be regular practice to cut out repetitive sections of the song (and not simply edit a song by fading out). Many of the songs I've stepped are cut to varying degrees. If you do it seamlessly, it won't be noticeable.

**customstuff** · 12-22-2010, 07:20 PM

Yeah, the edits I did are about perfect. This song might still be difficult to step, but getting it into FFR would be amazing.

and thanks cbr, my newer stuff is on my soundcloud. Hopefully you find something stepable

Making a MIDI for a song is considered to be a part of arrangement/remix (especially classical music).

But in your case you just editted the music, it's not considered to be arrangement/remix.
I automatically do this like everytime I step a song.

Does this mean I should have FFR Music Producer too?
