I'd say bitrate should be people's choice as long as it's sensible, as for track length I agree it should be the full hit. Looking forward to hearing them :)

The same bitrate would create a level playing field for all entries.

here's how to upload to my FTP server (I'm volunteering it for this :P)
1) get an FTP client like cuteFTP, WS_FTP or SmartFTP
2) add the following server information using the easy to use "wizards" those clients have:
server: ftp.ottawaraves.com
username: [email protected]
password: happyhardcore
3) upload the file you wish to upload there in MP3 format according to the bitrate that will be decided shortly
the path to your file will be http://www.ottawaraves.com/happyhardcore/thenameofyourfile.mp3
:)

Nice one Dain-Ja.
128kbps and full tracks then please. Agree that seems the best way to do things.

this is just to get the file to you guys, right?
I'm guessing someone will rename them so they will truly be anonymous.
from the looks of it though at least bulby and dain ja will know who did what.
btw, I think 192kbps should be standard.The bandwidth available nowadays can handle it don't you think?

I have more or less unlimited bandwidth on my server so that's not a problem ;)
I can rename stuff to be anonymous when the time comes.

I think 128 would be best incase Iono, Treasure and someone do something with one of the tracks. Wouldn't want everyone already having a reasonable quality version.
Good question on the voting. A 2 or 3 weeks or something? I know everyone will be keen to get an end result ASAP but we need to give enough time for people to listen to everything and get their votes in. I don't think it matters if me and Dain-Ja know who the tracks belong to really.
Silver said it may take a week or so to get the poll up as well by the way everybody.

Don't worry, I'm starting mine on the 28th (day after my final), you won't be the only one.
But I do have the advantage of laying down a general idea of the track (16 bars of what I'm thinking the track should be like).
I have a suggestion for the next time we do something like this...how about releasing a compilation? What I'm thinking is that when you do a competition, it's hard for us starting (heh, I've been a green producer for over 10 years now :P) producers to get any critical feedback to improve our music.
So you could have the same sort of rules, ie. have to use a particular vocal, but make the thread open so that people could share their progress and get feedback and improve their tunes. And then when the deadline hits, you get someone to mix all of the songs into a full 60 min mix. (Of course, there could be the issue of too many entries...but those sort of logistics could be figured out pretty easily, ie. having multiple mixes a la Bonkers).
And so in the end you could have a free compilation to the public, someone could do the artwork and it would be something akin to Bonkers/Clubland/etc., except the neat thing is that it's all based around one vocal/lyric.
Anyways, just throwing this out for discussion...there could be some things I haven't considered and some problems with such a format. But I was thinking that it would be a great way to get improve skills during the creation of a song, and thus accelerate one's progress.
