(!IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT MUSIC FILES ON THIS SITE!)
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Once again this week, I had to delete tons of files (including music
|
|
disks). This trend will continue until we get more space, or our new 'helper'
|
|
get around to clearing out the ANSI section (which is eating up way too much
|
|
space).
|
|
More of the /artists directories can be expected to be deleted unless
|
|
more space frees up soon.
|
|
I am now handling all of the /incoming/code and /programming files.
|
|
If you have any questions, please write to me.

Music contest ][
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Only a few days left! The contest ends this Monday, so get your entry
|
|
in by then. I now have the pseudocode down for the MC2VOTE.EXE program. It's
|
|
quite a difficult thing to do when you figure (approximately):
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
80 songs
|
|
* 3 judges voting on each one
|
|
* 5 characteristics for each song:
|
|
each characteristic has different strengths (i.e. Form might
|
|
be 25%, and Samples might be %20)
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Also, there are three different strengths for judges!
|
|
|
|
All in all, this will be a very complex program, and I hope I'm up to the
|
|
skills necessary.
|
|
|
|
Thank you to everyone who entered. A list will be posted probably on the 7th
|
|
or 8th of this month of all known MC][ entries. If you aren't on this list,
|
|
and you entered, GET BACK TO ME ASAP! I would hate to have a song you worked
|
|
on not voted on because of a simple slip up on my part.
|
|
|
|
Lately, many of you have been making my life very difficult with corrupted
|
|
uploads, incorrectly named uploads, or invalid entries. I will do what I can
|
|
to help but my time is limited so your being careful is paramount now.

Assembly 94 music
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Sorry folks. Because of space restrictions, I am going to have to
|
|
delete all Assembly 94 tunes that didn't make it to the top 10. I'm not even
|
|
going to get a chance to listen to them all unfortunately. Songs with an '*'
|
|
next to them mean we have them online.

|
|
|
|
MUSIC
|
|
|
|
Enter into MC][ and PLACE...then your tune will be granted one
|
|
track on the DEMO/MUSIC CD to be released THIS October. We plan on
|
|
mastering our MUSIC with a DAT player--which rents for about $40-$90
|
|
a day in my area. GUS to DAT mastering. If you have a DAT and
|
|
want to help us out then contact Snowman or myself.
|
|
|
|
ART
|
|
|
|
We could still use some ART. You would not want to see my art on
|
|
the CD....plus it would be in all ONE color. If we get some cool
|
|
art then we use color, no cool art then we go single color (would
|
|
cut costs). If you can draw and would like your art to be included
|
|
with "Escape" then get back to me--dmw@eng.ufl.edu.

INTROS\DEMOS will be relocated to the /alpha/NEW/asm94/demos /intros
|
|
directories. I am not sure what to do about the 4kintros...but I
|
|
will probably group them all together in one big file.
