A few things to note

  1. all singers will be anonymous to prevent favoritism when it comes time to judge the contest
  2. after the contest, i will reveal the identity of all I have the permission to reveal.after the contest ends.
  3. Recording will be done on their own computers. I suggest audacity (http://audacityteam.org/) for this. the songs will be uploaded to a google drive
  4. To verify authorship I ask that the singer to upload a vocal only track. if they want they may also upload a mixed track.
  5. Singers may submit as many songs as they like.
  6. These are your songs, I will take down any song at any time by the user request , i will also comply with any copyright take down requests if I revive them.
  7. all participants will be invited to a steam group which I will make as many giveaways as I can when the contest ends
  8. The top three singers (voted on by the SG community) will additionally get to chose one game from the prize pool before any giveaways are made.
  9. i welcome anyone that would like to contribute to the prize pool add me on steam and I'll add you to the group/ If you wish you gifts to also be considered for the top three singers let me know I'll be making a thread on the group page for organizing this.

First off i want to talk about naming conventions When upload a song I'd like you to name it "song-artist-VOCALS" for the vocal only submission, "song - artist-SONG" if you are uploading the song you sang to be mixed with your vocals. and "song - artist-MIX" For example if you sang "Mad World" by Gary Jules, you would upload "Mad World - Gary Jules - VOCALS" After you upload your file(s) please add me on steam, so I can add you to the giveaway group and make a list of who recorded what song.

About anonymity.It has been pointed out that google drive shows who uploaded a file. if anyone has a good work around for this please tell me, untill then I can ask people not to peek, and/or hope you google account name isn't the same as you steamgifts name.

Finally for the end up the contest i am aiming for Sept 30th, however this may change depending on circumstances.

EDIT still haven't found a better option then google, For the shy people that wish to remain anonymous, feel free to upload you songs to a private location and send me the links, i will upload them concealing who they came from. Also I can create private folders for people to upload to if they cannot access file upload services on their own.

EDIT 2: Someone suggested i add a link to the first contest

In all actuality, now that I know how to strip the identity from a file on google (you make a copy) I like being able to see who owned the uploaded file. It make it easier for people to upload more then one song. After the fist song I have the google useer name associated with the steam name so I automaticly know who to credit.

Well then, I hope you are not a karaoke addict like a few of my friends...

It's a great app that allows you to do vocal and video recordings as well as duets/group songs as long as others have the app. It's been a while since I actually looked at it so I don't remember what is needed for VIP and what the differences are, but you can download the files after they are uploaded by going into the source code and direct posting the audio file link.

Just the first easy option that popped into my mind for Duets.

Well, maybe there are some videos of me doing so when I was younger, but speaking of recording a song - no, I yet didn't do it. Right now I have two song I want to record for the contest, one in my language, and one evergreen known from some 80s movie. I managed to get original audiotracks, I have audacity waiting for me, yet I can't manage to get decent microphone. If I won't get it till tomorrow I will just record it and submit somwhere around day before deadline. I will use mic from my webcam or will try this trick with headphones JoeMoDo suggested on my other comment.

Also I can create private folders for people to upload to if they cannot access file upload services on their own.

Isn't the reason for anonimity at this first stage to prevent favouritism?

9 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

True, and I'll try to minimise exposure to people's identities. Factors working in my favor are many peoples identities on google differing from their steamgifts names and possibly the stripping of those identifying tags. I don't expect more then a handfull of people to watch the google drive for new songs before i announce them on the thread. I hope those that do will suppress their desires to check the uploaders identities, or at the very least keep the info to them selves. No system is totally secure, last contest we had some people idle in teamspeak to see who was recording. As long as I can keep things mostly fair, and throw in some suprizes to those that enjoy peeking I think I can avoid most favortism.

If google doesn't work I'll make a change, but so far I don't think that's needed.

ok, and something just occurred me... How will you know who's the user that uploaded the file (regardless of google username etc)? There has to be some identifier that links the files to the user on SG, right?

Firstly I expect people to tell me when they upload something on google via steam chat. if for no other reason then for me to add them to the group to access the giveaways.

I was told google drive was a bit tricky to use so am writing a brief guide.

  1. if you do not have one already create a google account here.
  2. Activate google drive here
  3. visit the shared folder and add the folder to your google drive (first image)
  4. return to your google drive the folder should be on your left (second image below)
  5. goto the folder and right click to upload the song
