Sample Pack Contest VI - Scoring Template Your name/pseudonym: qualo - 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. ________ SCORES: 1999 or 2012: 70/100 A Song for My Cat: 60/100 Akira Yamaoka vs Ken Ishii: toot/100 Alleyway in Chinatown: 70/100 Aqua Aura Pura: 60/100 Aya Hirano's Megaton Punch: 70/100 Bad Tekno: 20/100 Candy Rock Jam: 80/100 Cloudtrip: 75/100 Corruption of the Tune: 20/100 Cyberdemon Boogie: 40/100 DanielDellaCocco: 55/100 Deep Throat Tengoku: 25/100 Doctor Mars: 80/100 Everybody Wants Overcalculated Scientist Orgasms: 70/100 Extra Antler Velvet: 50/100 Gateway to Happiness: 55/100 Go Go Power!: 45/100 Green Grass: (´・ω・`)/100 How to Open a Can of SPC: 65/100 I sneak up and hitcha in the crotch: 85/100 King of the Crypt: 40/100 Legend of Sample Pack Compo: 70/100 Martian Lab at Midnight: 85/100 Medium Zero: 70/100 Mr. Huffletuff's Kitty Cat Cosmic Escapades: 100/100 No Bananas for Deborah: 90/100 Nobody Wants Overcalculated Scientist Orgasms: 75/100 Omnious Abbey: 65/100 Our Heliocentric Garden: 85/100 PRUNEAU: 45/100 Riding the Duckdragon: 70/100 Seven Proxies: 20/100 Slick Venus: 80/100 Spaz Premium: 80/100 Tarot Pharoah: 70/100 Ten-Chan Looks Like Joey Wheeler: 20/100 Tertiary Jump: 80/100 The Incredible Cat Mincer: 90/100 Tidal Chamber: 99/100 Trop Glop Flop: 55/100 TV Surfer: 60/100 U.B.
