KeyBoard Ultimix: Now Accepting!

[BEN.(SPEIRS) 7.5]

KeyBoard Ultimix (or KBU for short) is a spin-off series of the Dancing Stage Ultimix (DSU) series, that has reached it's 3rd. So this time I wanted to try something new, something different. Something that will be more fun for people without USB pads.

Something for the keyboarders.

And what better way to start this by posting it on FFR? FFR is THE place for fun KeyBoard sims, so I will be scouring the database for some songs and hunting around for whatever I can find.

We do have some rules though, but we always take things easy over here at Ultimix. In theory all you have to make are a set of Heavy steps for any song: we have dedicated graphics artists, synchers, judges and all sorts. In fact this is the first Ultimix where I have decided to have a 'tea,' as such, all to make it less stressful for you. The team are:

Graphics
Detach
SulferDragon (?)
KyahRyorin
Super_Ray

Synchers
Ramengan
joel stud (minor tweaking if necessary)
Ben Speirs (minor tweaking if necessary)

Judges
joel stud
SulferDragon
Ben Speirs

But what do YOU have to do to ensure a solid file?

Basic Criteria
Songs should be in MP3. OGGs are NOT allowed, but we do have converters if this is a problem.
You MUST include a CD-Title and your name MUST be in the line "#CREDIT:" in the .sm file.
Obviously, do not steal anyone else's work.
I would really like to see some exclusives here, and since you only really need one chart, I would love to have more exclusives than regurlar files...

Song Criteria
Songs should be less than 2:30, but if any longer ones are fun we will definately accept!
Don't over or understep. If the song doesn't sound like a 14, make it a 10.
BE ON BEAT! Don't use notes like 32nds, 64ths unless they are actually to the beat, and even then that must be one SLOW BPM.

Submission
Judging will be harder this year in hope we can get some truly great sims in here. But that's not to say we are going to be the new Simon Cowell of Stepmania, no. If your sim needs some work we will clearly point out what is wrong with it and give you another chance to fix it. After it has been returned 3 times we will no longer accept it, as this wastes too much time for our judges. DO NOT be put down if we reject it, if it's a minor thing I may go into the .sm itself and fix it if possible.

The submission cap is 10 files per user. We will judge each batch every week and post our results ASAP.

But where do you send it?

teamultimix@hotmail.co.uk OR kbultimix@gmail.com. I will make this ESPECIALLY for receiving sims, VIA email. Oh, and in the email please try and attach it to the email itself and not have a link to Rapidshare, as this wasted more time and the whole waiting thing gets tedious, but if you have NO other option please use MegaUpload.

So without furthur ado, I present KeyBoard Ultimix!
