Voted- or at least the buckets are filled. I need to go through and tweak. I have too many 5 pointers.

I like Iron's system there.

Voted.

Wow.... this was really hard. Congratulations to everyone -- and I literally mean everyone -- who entered. What a great collection of tracks. If this collection was put out as a commercial release I would buy it!

The logic behind my scoring:

3 - the baseline. Solid tracks with strong composition, arranging, production and sound design. Most of the tracks fit into this.

4 - same as 3, but with some intangible quality that made them appeal more to me -- purely subjective. There were lots of these, almost as many as the 3's.

5 - winners in every way. You are the producers that I admire and hope to achieve results as good as these some day!

2 - still great tracks but with something I perceived as a little weak -- maybe uneven mix or slightly rough sound design, etc... Please don't take offense -- I hope that constructive criticism is welcomed in this group.

1 - There were no 1's in this group for me.

As I've said before, I feel that being a member of this group is a privilege. I appreciate the feedback and comments on my track -- many of you are outstanding composers and producers, and I am humbled to be part of this.

Last but not least, thanks to Urs and U-he. I enjoy all of the U-he synths and use them a lot. Hive will be part of my arsenal, and hearing everyone's tracks really opened my ears to it's possibilities.

Uhm, I just read the posts about 4-5 pages back, and feel the urge to talk about criticism and points, too.

I appreciate constructive criticism as I'm in it to learn, and that's what I got, in a very friendly way. Thanks for this! Myself I had a hard time giving useful hints to others, because again: I'm learning, and I didn't feel like I'm able to give people good advice. So, most of the time I commented from a listener's point of view, rather than that of a producer. I liked what I liked...

On points - I'm more tough with that. I was using the full scale from 1-5 for maximum granularity. I hope no one will be offended by this. This is the way I did it:
3 points: tracks I liked to listen to, but didn't grab too much of attention.
4 points: tracks I enjoyed, played a couple of times, and tried to understand what's going on in certain parts.
5 points: wow just wow pro tracks!
2 points: tracks I thought they have some weak spots here or there
1 point: tracks I didn't feel for some reason at the time listening.

I guess this gave me a bell-ish distribution with quite a shift towards more points. (IIRC I gave 15+ entries 5 points...) If you got 2 or 1 point from me, please don't feel hurt. (At least) my votes were very subjective after all.

Anyways, with around 70 voters, such slight differences in voting don't matter too much.
Cheers!

VOTED

Bit of a marathon session going through all those tracks

No-one scored less than a 3 and probably too many 5 pointers in my final list but what the heck, it was a particularly impressive month

Still hacking through those wonderful tracks. Had to stop commenting on Soundcloud for fear not to be able to vote in time.Back to listening.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for listening and especially those who left comments. To me that's the best part of OSC, getting to read everyone's reaction to the track. Cheers and good luck to everyone!

Hey,

maybe some of you noticed that my submission to osc71 (Ninjaz) was a bit weak / problematic in the bass area. That's why I now uploaded a final edit that fixes the bass problem. At least for me this final edit is much more enjoyable.

It's also available for free download on my Soundcloud account.
