Sample Pack Contest VI - Scoring Template

Your name/pseudonym: KungFuFurby

- Give scores for ALL the songs except for your own (if you have any.)
- Scores are out of 100, where 100 = faultless/perfect, and 0 = totally void of merit/worst song ever.
- Do not use fractions.
- Commenting on songs is optional.
- E-mail as an attachment to daveharris.lunar@gmail.com

Some aspects to consider when scoring:
- Sound design: ingenuity with and manipulation of the source samples, modification of samples to create new sounds, etc.
- Composition: structure, melody, harmony, rhythm, basically how well written you think the song itself is, etc.
- Production: mixing/mastering (balance between instruments, overall loudness if it's a factor), stereo field use, frequency spectrum use (good use of EQ), use of effects, etc.
- Overall enjoyment: simply how much you like the song.
- Anything else you deem important.

consider these elements on a case by case basis, as some may be more or less applicable depending on the song. how much you factor each into your scoring is up to you - if you wish, you may set aside a certain number of points for each element if it makes the judging process easier for you, however the total scores are the only thing that will be relevant in score calculations.

1999 or 2012
Comments:
This one's mine. This is the last entry that I produced. I figured I'd make a song that dealt with maybe combining an end-of-the-world scenario (using "2012" as the end of the world... this is in relation to a movie title) with furbies. I intentionally withheld the furby reference thinking that it would be a bit too blatant. For those of you curious: I played the sample many times over with different offset commands to turn the MutantToy sample into a robot-synth-like melodic sample.
________
A Song for My Cat
Comments:
What a way to use the cat sample, complete with other vocal samples! It's definitely impressive.
________
Akira Yamaoka vs Ken Ishii
Comments:
Sorry, I don't really get the reference, unless you're trying to combine a Japanese horror game soundtrack with Japanese DJ music.
________
Alleyway in Chinatown
Comments:
Use of kitty samples to emulate singing along with other vocals? That's interesting... and part of the tune somehow caught on for a moment. Maybe you should get those loop points in better order, though. I actually thought things got a bit messy towards the end, though.
________
Aqua Aura Pura
Comments:

________
Aya Hirano's Megaton Punch
Comments:
OK, that sounds like dusthillresident... both the trackname and the sound of the track. Did you base yours off of Kirby Super Star's Megaton Punch track? ^_^ Strange ending, as an extra note...
________
Bad Tekno
Comments:
I thought this was unusual... consistency was not of importance to this tune, and I thought that didn't seem like a good thing. If there were a high point, I'd pick the middle of the tune or three quarters of the way into the tune. I thought I heard the last part before in terms of the melody... just before the tune ends.
________
Candy Rock Jam
Comments:
Very fancy to start with! I don't go this fancy with my tune... plus, I personally don't feel a need to do that. It seems to have a wide variety of styles... and boy did you use the EpicCymbal sample in a clever way!
________
Cloudtrip
Comments:
I sometimes use that type of melody like that, but not like that. I'm almost tempted to refer to F-Zero's White Land I for a comparison... this is what the tune reminds me of. Congratulations on getting longest tune... behind me.
________
Corruption of the Tune
Comments:
This one's mine. It is the second entry that I made, while I was experimenting with the samples. Consider this to be a bit of a joke tune... part of this was me fooling around with the samples.

Doctor Mars
Comments:
You make me think of some sort of a classic video game tune turning into this when modernized by us, the composers.
________
Everybody Wants Overcalculated Scientist Orgasms
Comments:
You make me wonder why you named the tune like that...
________
Extra Antler Velvet
Comments:

________
Gateway to Happiness
Comments:
This one's mine, This is the third one of the bunch, and I consider this one to be the best of the bunch (maybe my prediction will be right in that this one does the best of all my 13 tunes!)... and the longest tune of SPC 6. I finally got some good drums, and based on advice from the boards (I didn't ask the questions, personally), I actually used the vocal samples as melodic samples. This tune might as well be so well-made on my end that people might not think it's me if those ears aren't as keen.
________
Go Go Power!
Comments:
This one's mine. This is the first of eight SNES tunes that I made. I'm not kidding: real SNES tunes (and I have real SPCs of them by using mukunda's SNESMod)! I took the acronym SPC literally and made a mini-soundtrack that might fit in a game. For this track, I chose this to be a boss theme. I'll admit that I realized it wouldn't be so easy to do SNES game soundtracks for the other SPCs when I decided to do SPC 1 (I plan on doing SPCs 2-5 as well and make them into SNES psuedo-game soundtracks... though after going for SPC 1, I wonder how tough the other four will be...). So note to myself: Next time, just include them as a bonus SPC set, not real entries...

How to Open a Can of SPC
Comments:
This one's mine. This is the second of eight SNES tunes that I made. I'm not kidding: real SNES tunes (and I have real SPCs of them by using mukunda's SNESMod)! I took the acronym SPC literally and made a mini-soundtrack that might fit in a game. For this track, I chose this as more of a main theme... AKA, all-around. Note that I used echo for this one and a few others... I took advantage of the SNES's echo for added effect... and the fact that if I did it using Schism Tracker, I'd probably be juggling between what works and what doesn't work for a bit too long.
________
I sneak up and hitcha in the crotch
Comments:
Just by the trackname alone I think dusthillresident was involved in some sort of fashion. The tune is quite crazy. Wacky in its own way. '^_^

This one's mine. This is the third of eight SNES tunes that I made. I'm not kidding: real SNES tunes (and I have real SPCs of them by using mukunda's SNESMod)! I took the acronym SPC literally and made a mini-soundtrack that might fit in a game. For this track, I chose this as an opening/storyline theme, and in honor of Sample Pack Contest, I did name this track like this. This is the longest SNES tune that I have, and you can consider it to almost be a draw with Gateway to Happiness. However, since this one's looping, it doesn't really count. Also, I did use echo, though it's pretty faint here.

My senses say the same composer made this... just based on the track name. However, the tune sounds unusually different, though it keeps some of the old effects.

There are two possible composers for this track, based on trackname alone. ant1... or smh. If it's someone that's not these two, then boy was I fooled! Almost reminds me of a NES the way the tune opens.

You remind me of the saying, "all bark and no bite". You've got plenty of vocal FX/drums (bark), but not really a melody (bite).

I did note some synching problems in the tune, though it's a nice tune otherwise. By the way, at the end, did the kitty fall off the cliff? Sorry, just curious.

This one's mine. This is the fourth of eight SNES tunes that I made. I'm not kidding: real SNES tunes (and I have real SPCs of them by using mukunda's SNESMod)! I took the acronym SPC literally and made a mini-soundtrack that might fit in a game. For this track, I chose this as one of two possible level themes. The musical track might suggest you're inside a TV... hence the reason why I named the track this way.
________
U.B. Funky
Comments:
This one's mine. This is the fifth of eight SNES tunes that I made. I'm not kidding: real SNES tunes (and I have real SPCs of them by using mukunda's SNESMod)! I took the acronym SPC literally and made a mini-soundtrack that might fit in a game. For this track, I chose this as one of two possible level themes. I used echo for some effect, though most of the time it's pretty faint.
________
Untitled
Comments:
Your filesize, bigger than any other SPC 6 tune, tells me you mean business. Must be to get all those high quality sounds out. If I were to wing it, I'd pluck this out as maybe the one and possibly only Blitz Lunar tune.
________
Way Out - No Way
Comments:
This one's mine. This is the sixth of eight SNES tunes that I made. I'm not kidding: real SNES tunes (and I have real SPCs of them by using mukunda's SNESMod)! I took the acronym SPC literally and made a mini-soundtrack that might fit in a game. For this track, I chose this as a tune you'd probably get when you get Game Over... AKA, you lost the game. I used echo with a long delay, and I simply did that since this tune is to represent your defeat.
________
We Hate the 1998 Wave

This one's mine. This is the seventh of eight SNES tunes that I made. I'm not kidding: real SNES tunes (and I have real SPCs of them by using mukunda's SNESMod)! I took the acronym SPC literally and made a mini-soundtrack that might fit in a game. For this track, I chose this as a final boss theme, and if you get the reference, commence really freaky furby coming right at you! Quick! Destroy it!

This one's mine. This is the first entry that I produced, so it's experimental, compete with joke ending (Say kids, what time is it? Past your bedtime? What, my music is keeping you from falling asleep?).
________
WHAT THE @#$%!!
Comments:
Now this is horrific! I could use this as the final phase of a final boss! A bit shallow in some areas, though. Also, try to get that ending to not cut off like that.
________
Whippin' Good
Comments:
This one's mine. I made this one to have a whippin' good time with one of the samples, which I found quite interesting. So have a whippin' good time with this factory-like tune.
________
WorldJ
Comments:
This is the type of tune that I wish had better synching on the drums... not kidding here, I'm afraid. I found the beat to be out of sync, which made the entire tune out of sync.
________
Zen You Reach Ze State of Completeness
Comments:
This one's mine. This is the last of eight SNES tunes that I made, and the grand finale of the SPC 6 soundtrack alphabetically. I'm not kidding: real SNES tunes (and I have real SPCs of them by using mukunda's SNESMod)! I took the acronym SPC literally and made a mini-soundtrack that might fit in a game. This one serves as the ending track, giving it a double meaning: end of the soundtrack alphabetically, end of the game. There's echo with a half decent sized delay as if you were finally in peace with the game...
