Just supply the following:
Vocals
Percussion/Kick
Midi of the Vocal melody
Thats it.
Make what ever you want from it :)
For me at least it'll just be purely about fun/taking part, and seeing everyones different ideas and variations. That will be the most interesting part :)
Not everyone has an array of hardware and software, or expertise needed to create something 'mind-blowingly perfect'
Creativity is where its at, so personally id like to see as few limitations on what can be done as possible.
I'd encourage everyone to take part too, A totally unique idea, no matter how badly 'engineered' can still shine ;) (thats what im hoping anyways lol!)

It would be nice if we could make these comps a regular thing!
It would be good if the chord midi could be part of the sample pack, yes.
Looks like Hard2Get is sorting the other samples... Still awaiting confirmation though.
Oh, awesome!
Thanks Ionosphere (and Treasure) for the generosity (and yeah, thanks to michael for the offer!)
I guess this will really be a 100% happyhardcore.com member produced tune :D
As for the sample pack...*Someone* needs to do it. I don't feel comfortable doing it because I'm guilty of using similar sounds (tried, tested and true) too often.
Since Sam was insiting on being limited to one I assumed he could put it together...Or we could hassle Hattrixx :P?

::UPDATE::
I probably will not need anyone to write lyrics now, as I had some luck this morning with an idea that's progressing quite well. Of course I will have the basic midi structure laid out so everyone can jump on it.
So January 1st as a start date? That sounds good to me if everyone else agrees. That should allow plenty of time for someone to get a sample pack together. However, I personally believe that a sample pack limits creativity if producers are required to stay within a specific range of sounds/samples.
I should have the song recorded by the end of this week.
Peace
::EDIT::
Oh so the vocals are already being recorded! Cool. Just let me know if you need me back.
Peace

yeah...I sortof agree but I think it'll be a fun challenge anyways
...and considering we can use any synths we want the possibilities are endless
and I assume we're allowed editing the samples before use so...

I feel a sample pack would be needed if we were to be working on a track that used both the vocals and samples already.the samples, in this sense, work sort of as a trademark aspect of the song.but since I sense the competitors versions would be the first takes on the track the samples are then somewhat pointless and limiting.

OK... I want a vote from anyone who's interested on having a sample pack. :) That will be the fair way to go. I'll update this post as the votes come in.
Personally I don't want one but I'm not fussed.
For - 1
Against - 3

....and other people's vocals wouldn't be a bad idea, rather than just ours. Give the entrants a bit more choice?

You think? Do you not think the average listener might just vote for the vocals they like though?

....ah, 'average listeners'.
I keep forgetting about those.
We just don't want to hog anything, that's all.

Not at all mate. :)
If other people are interested in doing vocals hopefully we can make this a regular thing. Would be good for the forum.

I couldn't agree more on the sample pack thing, however i think it's a good idea to supply them so that everyone is at least at the same level with samples, but not limited to those samples :)

So have a pack of decent samples but they don't have to be used? That sounds fair.

Exactly, so then if people need them then they are there but if they don't then of course, there is no need to use them.
