So how long does it take to pick a winner?
I was just wondering... how long does it take to pick a winner?
The Digitech Broadjam Contest ended in November... it's almost Febuary. :shock:
Come on... Let us know who won!

By the way,
Killin Time:

Cheers,

There you go...
Cheers,

It's when it's all the time that you've got a problem! LOL
I don't know why they still haven't crowned a winner. I realize it would take a while but they should be through the intrys by now. Don't you think, or am I just being impatient?
I don't know why I am so anxious, I didn't even post anything myself. I did do two songs (Allied Assualt with Armada1 and Black Water with ODannyboy) that others posted. But I doubt \"my\" guitar playing would make the final 3. :shock:
Just wanna hear who they deem Digitech King! 8)
FWIW

Sad to say the lazyness is indeed becoming more frequent - LOL... But I swear I will do something about it as soon as I feel less lazy...
Well it looks like (at least according to the link) that due to overwhelming response it will take a little longer to pick a winner. The judge want to make sure he is rigorously listening to every single contribution before a winner is chosen...
As for your playing, dude you blow me far, far away - LOL... Allied Assult was a cool collab 8)
Cheers,
Thomas
Dave (armada1) is great to work with! Would do it again anytime!
Have you tried Jolt Cola? That could help with your little problem... LOL
Or Crack! LOL! Just kiddin'! Don't go there!
Im sure it could be quite tedious listening to all of the entrys, but come on... I'm sure he aint doing it for free! There's something in it for him!

LOL
\"I refuse to listen to one more of these guitar shredding songs unless you throw in them Super Series Patches for free!!!\" :P
Sup buddy?
Nice to see you around here again! 8)
Thomas, you could have very well hit the nail on the head! And I have a feeling that \"Superseries negotiations\" could take a Super Long Time!
LOL

Ok the second guy sounds like he did use a GNX4.
Second let me say... I'm glad they finally pick em'! LOL!!!
Third let me say... I'm not a very patient man! LMAO!
The First place song is nicely produced. Not my type of music, but nicely produced all the same.
The Second place song was my favorite of the three. Great tune, Great lyrics, Nice job Mike Weeks! WooHoo!
The Third song... Maybe it's just me (it often is) but what does the trumpet or what ever instrument he's playing have to do with a \"Guitar Workstation\"? He is obviously a talented musician, but I (personally) do not think this should have been the third place winner in a \"Guitar Workstation\" (please note the key word in that sentence was \"Guitar\") Contest.
Vladimir Galaktionov (please note i copied and pasted that name in cause there is no way in the world I would have been able to spell it on my own) if your reading this, please do not take offence. I think you a great musician and I am by no means trying to discredit your abilitys. You are a very talented man.
I just thought this was a \"Guitar\" Workstation contest. I (Again Personally) just assumed these would be guitar songs since that is what the product is designed for. Guess not...
Again Congrats to all the winners, and too Mike Weeks, dug the tune!
IMHO

When's the next contest?
DID OZZY JUDGE THIS!!!!! and is he using again....I only entered because of the Oz man. Was hoping some metal would of got a go at it.... Not some purple haired A&R POP freak.
I heard alot of entries that were up in quality that had a chance to take the contest.
With that said congrads to winners
Peace
The second song was my favorite too... (but maybe not quite as \"marketable as the first one). It also shares the same song title as my favorite Dylan song! Big Lebowski brought it around a second time. 8)
The 3rd one i actually dug quite a bit too. It did really deliver in terms of using the GNX uniquely and that was, one of the qualifiers in the contest.
In the end it was the best \"free\" songwriting contest i ever entered!!! I personally got a little carried away with the number of songs i crammed on when maybe i should have spent more time polishing just a few. Who knows, though. I haven't been doing this very long but i have allready learned that one \"pro's\" set of rules will directly conflict with next pro's. Basically there is no tried and fast rules when you are creating for your own enjoyment, which is good because it keeps it fun.
I have learned that there are rules to getting signed (or even simply winning a song contest). i think a lot of us would call that selling out, but the hard / fast rules to getting airplay require it.
in short, the #1 rule to writing songs that will get airplay is to write in the current popular style, (you have to listen to the fricken radio). Writing in the acid tripping style of the 60's will not get you there.... Of course history repeats itself, question is then, how old and unmarketable will your grill be by that time?
I like the picks...the evanescence style vocs is very cool for todays pop.
Mike's tune was also very good and did demonstrate the GNX. More of a late Bon Jovi ish type appeal. Nice tune
The horn thing.. i'd go Ukelele with the DR. Maybe some ping pong balls dropping as a backing track.. and maybe some samples of burgers frying on a grill...SSSSSSSSSS ya know, for some ambience! Actually I think he should call Comedy Central and wite intros for new Anime. Kind of had a Simpsons Vibe.
I can't say much though. I record guys with all kinds of stuff from accordions, to chop sticks. One guy mic'd himself picking his teeth with a dental scraper!! I've seen some strange things get on tracks!
Congrats to ALL winners!!!
I just am not a pop person, but the songs are good! I was hoping for a New evergrey or symphony x to emerge.
But pop rules the planet. I in no means meant to insult any winners. There mark is what they do...and what a boring world if we all were metal!!
I really dig that voice on the first song.....it is awesome. MMMMMM_MMMM
Peace
and P.S. thanks all for the kind words and support.
money shot is a money shot :evil:
I personally was kind of expecting these sort of picks, from a producer of that caliber as head judge. The usage of GNX is a lot more subtle than what you find on DT soundcomm, and understandably so. This is a good reminder that everything boils down to creativity and composition.
Hey Thanks for the kind words. Good songs . I thought perhaps due to the Ozzy thing that they would have picked heavy stuff. But all the songs are very well done. Congrats to all the winners!
I was hoping to see one one of our regulars here win but maybe next time.
Tune #2 was cool, but it seemed like I have heard it before--kinda a cross between David Bowie and ????. Plus, seemed to stay in one place a bit too long.
Tune #1, is this original? Swore I have heard it too. Topic certainly ain't original. Nice production though. Done through a GNX???
Tune #3, what the ________ is this all about?????
Bewildered in GNX land...

Next time fellas...
