Re: Lofty Megapack 6 - The Invocation Pentafiles
 

Well, when the pack is opened anyone will be able to submit.

Mina is helping me out with judging this go around, and I'd be aware that he will have no problem denying files, and critiquing them as he sees fit.

Only send your best stuff.

*WHEN SUBMISSIONS OPEN* which is not now.

Re: Lofty Megapack 6 - The Invocation Pentafiles
 

applause sound effect:

[10:10:58 PM] Mina: lets say
[10:11:00 PM] Mina: you needed an aerospace engineer
[10:11:03 PM] Mina: and someone came in and was like
[10:11:05 PM] Mina: yo mah ***** wassup
[10:11:07 PM] Mina: heres my planes
[10:11:10 PM] Mina: then takes a piece of paper off your desk
[10:11:14 PM] Mina: folds it into a paper plane
[10:11:17 PM] Mina: and throws it at your face
[10:11:21 PM] Mina: do you a) check his credentials
[10:11:26 PM] Mina: or b) throw him the fuck out
[10:11:56 PM] Mina: look i'm all for hedging on the adventurous side
[10:12:00 PM] Mina: but there's a line you don't cross
[10:12:14 PM] Mina: im not going to accept any tv static ripoffs
[10:12:20 PM] Mina: and i shouldnt have to fucking even say that out loud

tl;dr you can't be serious

Re: Lofty Megapack 6 - The Invocation Pentafiles
 

I did say this ^

Re: Lofty Megapack 6 - The Invocation Pentafiles
 

hol up

okay, so i didn't know what tv static was until just now - is this it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drb_9a4NN2Q

if that's the case, i see why you think its a ripoff but if its any help to my case i didnt know that tv static file existed. never heard of it til now.

but.. it kind of is a serious file... not gonna lie, i spent way more time than im willing to admit syncing this shit. i mean i know it was a long shot, but i figured i'd see what comes of it. and i honestly wanted to make something that challenges your recognition of patterns in an interesting way. ugh now i'm explaining a joke and ruining it

well think about it ok?

Re: Lofty Megapack 6 - The Invocation Pentafiles
 

If you want to prove something to either Mina, or myself, I'd send something with some music.

We will not be thinking about this further.

Re: Lofty Megapack 6 - The Invocation Pentafiles
 

nah nevermind, i guess i missed the point of 'dump files'

but its cool, i did ask u to tear it up, just dont hate me k???

Re: Lofty Megapack 6 - The Invocation Pentafiles
 

I don't think anyone is really tearing the fuck out of you as long as you're willing to learn from the very poor reception of whatever it is that you sent in; your standing relative to this situation is what you make of it really


that being said - based on the reception of your submission according to what people are saying here, it is pretty evident that your perception of dump charting is indeed fundamentally flawed

there is no rule stating that dump files are by definition characterized by low-quality patterns set to abrasive wall noise garbage for w/e reason

there is no rule stating that dump files are by definition bereft of any coherent patterning structure whatsoever

and thus consequently, and most importantly of all,
there is no rule stating that dump files are by definition bereft of any qualitative value whatsoever

as a matter of fact this misconception is something that people such as mina, lofty, scintill and skwid have been actively challenging through very respectable efforts in the past few years if not more than that


people choose to play files based on what it feels like to experience them as a player executing the patterns; if your file holds no value in that respect, then it is automatically of no value to anyone else regardless of whatever infantile amusement you may derive from ironically putting down shitty patterns to wall noise under ddream or w/e - the point I'm trying to get across is that even though dump files differ from more conventional ones in regards to how certain patterns are placed relative to certain sounds, this principle remains very much in effect nonetheless

your file holds no qualitative value whatsoever, and the fact that you have clearly disregarded that factor just comes to show how utterly futile your current stance will remain when aspiring to amount to anything in that figurative line of work unless you are willing to change it - this is further reinforced by lofty specifically requesting that people send in their best stuff


if you do sincerely wish to learn from the error of your ways, lofty's 3rd pack and mina's 4th pack are good places to start... or you could just wait till this pack gets released as I do find the currently-approved material within it to be quite respectable even as it stands for now

notable files worth checking out would be addicted to love, desenchantee, desire of ages, prototype, scarlatti 2.0, and last but most certainly not least the poet and the pendulum - scary halloween show (yolomania 3) is also a very solid example worth looking at

if not... then suit yourself I guess, just don't be surprised anymore at how people are going to take it

Re: Lofty Megapack 6 - The Invocation Pentafiles
 

look, i wouldn't have sent a file if it was devoid of effort. the notes in the file are not arbitrary. it's cool if ya'll don't like the file, but don't write it off as unplayable or bereft of value.

i feel like you guys are disrespected by me trying to make a dump file? if that's the case, my bad! just drop it and i'll leave dumps alone.. forgive and forget ok? sheesh

Re: Lofty Megapack 6 - The Invocation Pentafiles
 

Your error was more one of "song" choice than anything else.

All anyone is pointing out is that dump files can be songs that are enjoyable and charts that are fun.

I'll say this again, because it seems as though you missed it: I urge you to chart something musical and send it in. We will both be glad to review it.

Re: Lofty Megapack 6 - The Invocation Pentafiles
 

I see you want quality dumps
So I sent you 4 shitty ones
Have fun, stupid

Re: Lofty Megapack 6 - The Invocation Pentafiles
 

Fuck you!!

Received. Will review by end of week or w.e

Re: Lofty Megapack 6 - The Invocation Pentafiles
 

I may have something, I swear I put a lot of effort in it.
