CWA / PlanetZ sound demo contest !!

Frank said how you use effects depends on your "demo concept." I think they'd encourage you to use effects, it just shows off SFP's capabilities more!

hmmm ... I've read so many times : " yeah, this synth demos sound good but it's drown on FX, that must hide something ... "

I'll try to make the synths demos nearly totally dry, however some seconds of the " onboard " effects might not hurt !

On the other hand, I will have problems to make a demo of Vectron dry : it works so much fine with delay ! a little OT : I'd like the excellent FX of the Mini, Prodyssey on every synths ... thanks !

I'd propose the demo of Mini + Masterverb as demo of the Masterverb and keep the Mini demo mostly dry so double dose of Mini hearing !

Same thing for the FX packages ... etc

i have to admit that i begin to be impatient about this contest!! how many demo have been submitted? (but i feel that my chances are very low!!

)

I've just finished my Lightwave demo. I'll upload it somewhere soon and let's hope it gets on the site

*edit* you can hear it here:

sort of melancholic ambient...and in 3/4 tempo too!

I forgot all about this until I saw your demo. I'm sure CWA is not on schedule with the website (who ever is?), so how about another week or so ?

I second that - I would really like to make a few more demos if possible.......

What!!?? I've been anxiously waiting for tomorrow!! They wouldn't dare.

Besides, they have to get the site ready for MusikMesse, so I don't imagine it'd get delayed.

Fine one King of Snake !

I stuck to my presets showdown demo philosophy, we'll see ...

Funny, I didn't dig Prisma and Lightwave a lot before and was surpised by the sounds I could get after some deeper explorations and tweaks.

I hope CWA will put more demos beyond the " winner " one, stuff their site with demos as much as they can.

Why not a direct link to our sites ? I can handle it ( for my demos ) and don't bother since a have a fat bandwidth ... those of course who volunteer would be also kind to tell CWA when they can no longer propose a direct link.

Well, maybe they could make a second date for late entries, so the date tommorow stands, and those who still has a few good ideas get a second chance a some more time..... That way everybody gets what they want

no way, the audtion should be today!
and tomorrow i WANT TO KNOW THE RESULTS!!!!

indeed, it would be great it CWA will post all the (decent) demos even without a prize... and if this practice continues even in the following years (i mean... i compose a demo and send it to CWA. if it's judged good they will publish it on their website with my credits...)

Shayne White · Post by **Shayne White** » Thu Mar 25, 2004 12:15 pm

Well, business time Thursday has already completed in Germany...when are we supposed to see the results?? I was hoping we'd see something by now. It's the morning where I live...if they don't post results until tomorrow, I have to wait another entire day!

same for me!

King of Snake · Post by **King of Snake** » Thu Mar 25, 2004 2:37 pm

I wanna know too!

bosone · Post by **bosone** » Fri Mar 26, 2004 3:35 am

so, let's all wait for some CWA news...

by the way, CW, it is possible to know also how many demo were submitted?

King of Snake · Post by **King of Snake** » Fri Mar 26, 2004 5:57 am

I guess the jury is still in recess?

bosone · Post by **bosone** » Fri Mar 26, 2004 10:43 am

this silence is torturing me...
i'm horrified at the thought to have to wait until monday or more!

well, I guess we're not gonna see it before next week then.

I think they are pretty bussy doing the new webpage. Also, they might want to delay the results till the new page goes official - to draw a lot of attention to the change. Just my thoughts. Hope you all surviwe

Shayne White · Post by **Shayne White** » Fri Mar 26, 2004 12:31 pm

Does that mean we have to wait for next Wednesday??

I was desperately hoping we'd hear something by now!!!

It means nothing - those are just my thoughts and attempts to explain a situation.
