(No offence to the lovely ladies out there of course, I only mean to convey that it has been frightening, painful and beautiful all at the same time).

I can relate to that! Still... I will definitely be doing another one.

Well I'm late, late breakfasting with everybody's tracks - probably lunching etc too.

Well done everyone. Thank you for inspiring me and improving my day again.

I may still enter but what I have is still not finished.

Submit whatever you have so far - sometimes it may sound unfinished to you, but others might think otherwise

Better taking your chance with a slightly undercook ed track rather than not submitting at all

Oops, should have read the whole thread first

Thanks for clearing that up, and for checking my mix

And a little more on topic, really great entries so far!

I'm downloading everything. There's a lot to listen to and I'll do it on the move as well as at my PC.

I now realise that my flac file may be a daunting size to download.

Should I re-do the Sound Cloud file as MP3 (320) and then put the flac file in Dropbox?

If I'm not mistaken SoundCloud or at least the KVR OSC Group will store it as 128kbps regardless?

Not sure - I do know that I've downloaded ogg aif, wav, and mp3s and some of the files are very large.

I think its probably that the encoding for SC streaming is 128kbps.

Yes, even if the file is already in 128kbs mp3 it will still convert to that format which is slightly bizarre, so best to upload uncompressed and only get a single encode.

This is only for the SoundCloud player. The download file will of course remain as it was uploaded.

Okay, makes sense. I just went with MP3 encoded with LAME at 320. It's still a 20MB file which I would think is acceptable to most?

Finally uploaded my (rather unfinished) entry. It's so late here I hope I did okay

Good luck to everyone!

I think my bandwidth got throttled tonight because of downloading so much - still not got it all.

It turns out my file is comparatively modest (some are 80mb), so I'm going to leave it.

By the way, I wish the synth name was in everyone's track title but of course way to late to ask for that..

Ok folks, still some hours to go! KVR time still not 1st November.
