Fair enough, if I'm supposed to just take it when while someone says I "either can't or won't make music legitimately" then I'm done here. To save the mods trouble I'll just ban myself ;).

Bye folks, it's been fun...mostly.

AHEM...I guess i need to word my sentences better. Now, i did make an example(which should have prevented this from blowing up, which i have no idea why it didn't) towards the top of this topic. one hits are fine, everyone uses them, I use them, Sound Fx are great, everyone uses them, i use them, but what i'm trying to get across is ENTIRE DROP LOOPS should not be allowed in BoL.

EDIT: I'm fine with presets, i mean, who doesn't use them XD

No. We won't do that for every song. If we question the legitimacy of a song, we can ask for a mmpz, which we did for this song https://soundcloud.com/mattrauscher/first-contact - Nobody believed it was LMMS, and the guy gave us a near 100MB mmp that froze my PC while loading. It was mind blowing. That is still probably one of my favorite LMMS songs.

Please understand that the Judges also can hear when loops are used in the song, and that affects the grade that song gets(it always did in my case), as we always give grades for originality, as well as production quality. Loops are a perfectly acceptable tool in production, no need to taboo them. So no, demanding mmpz's probably won't be a thing in BoL.

This is a rude generalization. Art in general is subjective, and that involves the creation process as well. There is no objective right or wrong regarding such, just opinions based on personal philosophy (and opinions are perfectly okay, as they should - it is the presentation of opinions that matters).

Unnecessary jab. Fighting fire with fire just results in more destruction, or in this case, more hostility.

Definitely stay, your rational is much needed :)

Seconded. There are some neat changes being discussed though, so stay tuned!
