Posted at July 29, 2013, 9:26 am: A while back in the Pit there was a MIDI composition competition amongst MXers to see who could write the best song. It went strong for at least a year, with intermittant hiatuses, but as the Pit declined so did the competition. Alas, alas, all good things must come to an end. Well, its come back, sorta. Since we don't have the Pit anymore to host this forum-wide event, we're going to do it in the bass forums, mainly because it was theJoZ's idea to bring them back, and he's a bassist. Plus, bassists are cooler. The point of this whole thing this time, as it was last time, is to see who can write the best song. This has absolutely nothing to do with playing ability, it just has to do with songwriting ability. To do that, all entries must be composed and written in MIDI format and NOT submitted as an audio file such as an MP3. You can do this in programs such as Powertab and Guitar Pro, where you write out the tab to a song you've written and then save it as a MIDI file. This is to even the playing field somewhat and prevent people who perhaps don't have as much technical ability as others to have a chance. Sometimes the old competitions in the pit had general themes. I remember a couple like, "write a song about the night" or "write a song using only 'acoustic' instrument patches" or "write a song in three distinct 'movements'". This one, in order to bring as many people into the fray as possible, will just be open to any sort of style of music and length, barring any sort of progressive nightmares lasting more than 10 minutes. Anything under that is fine. When you're done with your entry, join this yahoo group - http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/compcomps/ - and add it to the files section. Good luck!
