Here is the vote pack: MBC4.zip [194 MB]

There are 23 songs in this pack. Participants must pick and post their top 3 in the Mutant Breaks Competition #4 thread or they are disqualified. The top 10 go into a hat. My ~18 month old daughter picks a winner. I will make a YouTube video of this.

If you were not a participant you can still post, but your vote will be ignored. If some weird thing happens, like a bunch of tied tracks make it so that more than 10 are in the top, I will exercise veto power and truncate however I feel like it.

All songs in this archive are copyright, or not, their respective authors. Don't pull a Timbaland. Contact the authors before assuming anything. Sample at your own risk.

Some songs are OGG files. It's 2011, you should be able to playback Ogg Vorbis by now?! If not try:

Good times.

Theme

Once a year this shit is mandatory!

Deadline

Sunday, November 6th, 2011.

Genres

Rules

One entry per contestant.
Participants must vote for 3 different tracks or they are disqualified. Feel free to vote for yourself as one of the choices. It won’t affect the outcome. It only serves as a collective benchmark for quality.
If the artist shares an XRNS, then total votes are multiplied x 2. Incentive to see more XRNS this year!
The top 10 tracks, eg most votes, are written on equal sized pieces of paper and put into a hat.
The first piece of paper that my ~17 month old daughter picks out of the hat wins $100 Canadian dollars, to be sent via PayPal.

Don’t know what Mutant Breaks is? Don’t understand the rules?

Well then, too bad! Nah, just kidding. Check the links from the last three years for some idea. Barely:

Vote for Efficient Music

Bantai — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:13:12 +0000

The The Efficient Music Competition is almost over and we want YOU to vote. The submitted songs combine awesomeness with low CPU usage which is exactly what we are looking for. All that remains is picking the winning song. Vote now – the voting booths are closing this Sunday.

We will conclude the Efficient Music Competition with an internet radio show hosted by MC Ron from Indamixx. He is going to broadcast a selection of the songs in record chart style. The show starts with the low tiers and moves up to the number one. The winner of the competition gets the Indamixx Netbook. The radio station will be at http://www.indamixx.com/indamixx-radio.html under channel “Renoise Competition”. Stay tuned for the exact broadcast time.

Note that the competitions songs are also excellent learning material. Just in case you’re looking for examples in the form of self-contained Renoise XRNS songs that don’t rely on VSTs… Well, here they are.
