I second this. Smile

the patches we didn't accept - its up to the individual sound designer whether they want to share them or not. sure we can put up a package in the user lib once we've heard from everyone. i should probably mention we are actively encouraging some of the sound designers to rework / finish and resubmit some of the unaccepted patches that show a lot of potential, so personally i'm hoping that not all of them are shared Wink


Very cool. I'm looking forward to that.

One of mine was accepted too. Actually the 9 others which were rejected received encouraging comments, so I am not going to abandon them.

I will release my bank as it is , with no change, however I am now working on my Andromeda bank that I will be releasing in a few months containing 100 presets with audio samples from my analogue synth Alesis Andromeda A6, 10 of those 100 will be these 10 that I submitted in the competition but they will be improved following the comments I received from the robots.

I will certainly try to fix those issues and make them better. It is just I am still very new with Alchemy and is very easy to get lost.

I would like to thank Camel Audio for its feedback, its not so much that one of my presets was accepted as much as I got loads of feedback that will help me improve as a sound designer.

Camel audio you have the permission to do whatever you want with those presets , no strings attached. I dont need money , I do this only for fun.

As I said before I will love to hear what others submitted accepted or not. And I am certain that I will find loads of preset that I can use on those that was not accepted , so it will be a shame to let those get lost.

Afterall one man's poison is another man's cure.

this is fantastic! 3 of mine got in!

thanks to all at Camel Audio for this fantastic opportunity. It has been a great inspiration to me and many others I'm sure!

the feedback was great and I for one will be taking it all in to account and upgrading my patches accordingly. But once this is done I would love to submit my sounds for all to hear

thanks again

Congrats Corin!

Hi CA guys, thanks for this comp. It was great fun (and for picking a few of my patches). I'll definitely take the encouraging comments on board. Most had to do with variation + source levels, so I'll work on em and resubmit asap. Cheers Camel Audio guys!! Wink

Awesome competition!

Congrats to Corin Very Happy

Thanks so much for the positive feedback and for buying so many of my patches- I was absolutely over the moon when I got my email this morning! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Great feedback too, but I think I figured out something...the comments weren't really from robots were they? Very Happy

Seriously,

Thanks so much guys you have made my week (at least, if not, a longer period of time)! Very Happy

Brilliant!!!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

EDIT:

I did actually expect the feedback would be from robots until I read it... Embarassed

Just read the mail, many thanks to the guys at CA for the great and detailed feedback, that was really instructive ! I wonder how many pizzas were needed in order to complete the job !!

I entered the contest quite late so i knew some of the presets i sent lacked polishing, and i will definetely finish them later! 4 of my presets were chosen, and i find it a great encouragement as a beginning sound designer Smile


BTW, I had two of my presets crashing reaper, did someone had similar issues with it ???

"A haunting set of deep space sounds with good
programming, but perhaps some would be just too
abstract for many Alchemy customers"

Thanks for the complement, guys!
This is exactly what I want to do with Alchemy - something unusual Smile

Gratz to Winners!

Now I'm really curious to hear what the other designers
came up with! Perhaps a limited edition library of the
ninety accepted patches to each of the entrants in the
competition?Very Happy I also will most likely try to rework those
of mine that didn't make the cut, but for which specific
advice was given, to see if they can be accepted. All in
all this has been a very positive experience for me, and
a great encouragement for me to continue with my sound
design efforts.
Thanks again for the opportunity.

Great idea I will rework mine 5 rejected presets too, but I lost all the contest samples due to a hd crash. Sad

Probably, we could create sounbank from rejected and corrected presets for User Library.

Something like ReCoDed (Rejected - Corrected - hmm... Dedicated?)

What do you think?
