Not necessary to comment at all. I personally try to make it point to comment on them all, because I know how much work goes into a track. Even if it doesn't do well in the comp, I feel they all deserve some recognition. I haven't found a song yet that didn't have some aspect to it that I found enjoyable. It's time consuming though. I'm almost done voting, but it's taken me hours.

Yep, nothing in the rules about commenting but I think it's really helpful and I take the same approach as Mechanought personally. It's hard to learn without feedback and I think that's more the point of this challenge than winning - for many people at least

Not necessary to comment, but you should if you can even a quick comment.

No problem making another user. Did you try the forget password?

Wagtunes, maybe your posts need an obligatory warning like:

**WARNING: Wagtunes post incoming.**

That was a harsh post, but your own opinion...

Why? Everybody knows me and what a jackass I am. Just the sight of my forum name should be warning enough.

Finally done voting. There are a TON of really good tunes in this competition. Quickly realized that I needed to be a lot more critical in order to give points fairly. It's damn tough to try and assign a point value to songs. This was actually the toughest part of the comp for me. I'd rather try to write a song with a single oscilator and a filter, than judge songs.

Somehow this track made it in to the voting (but it's not in the group?): [Ski Mask]

Edit: AHA, tried searching but the title wasn't actually written in the forum.

They didn't add their track to the group, and also posted their profile link, and didn't have proper title, however... I added it:

I think _A_O_ got the hang of things for next time.

Voting done here, too.

There were a lot of good tracks; a few outstanding ones. I if you got a 2 from me, it meant I liked your track pretty well... 3, I liked it a lot; 4 it was amazing; and 5, well, a 'one-of-these-should-win' vote; though there is one specific track I think should win (I won't say which one yet; it may not be what you think).

As always, if you want constructive criticism from me, feel free to PM me.

Nobody should be angry if people give him 1 point - it's personal taste and opinion - for me 'Primal Hunter' is the best composition from every angle and i hope to be the winner - i personally didn't spend enough time to explore 100% of podolski and to dig into d deepness of sound design and composing - just dance all the time during the writing and have fun:)Most important is to learn something from other people's compositions and style - i personally vote emotionally -most was 2-3-4 sorry if i give u 1 point-nothing personal just composition didn't touch any kind of emo :)Cheers

I gave you a 4. It was very good. It was close to a 5 but just missed for me. But not by much. I think you'll do very well in this contest, unlike myself who will be somewhere near the bottom if not smack dab right on the floor licking somebody's boot.

Are we able to see who gave what point amount or current totals somewhere?
