Our anniversary already passed, and that means our contest's finished, too!

And that means staff must now vote for their favorite entry. In order to do this, is you are a staff member, please follow these instructions:

1. Go to https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/6960671/ and read the “Votation Form” section in its entirety, including the part on how to score each song
2. Click on each entry's links (they can be found above the form) and listen to them carefully.
3. Copy the form mentioned before and complete it. Post it in here. Each employee should fill out a form for each entry, except the one created by them if they have created one.

Please note that this is more of a review than a vote, but I think this way votes are more objective and precise.

The deadline for voting is Thursday 6th June. Any employee who has not voted before then will not be taken into account to award the prizes.

Did the votings

Voter's username: JACOB_PONCE-
Entry voting for: Crystal Lights
Sound quality (instruments, beats…) (0-10): 8
Technical quality (tempo, time signature…) (0-10): 9
Melodic quality (and lyrics, if applicable) (0-10): N/A
Harmonic quality, coherence and cohesion (0-10): 8
General impression (0-10): 6
Quote: The second and third chord after the drop really stood out to me, and the nice piano break was a nice way to transition
Notes: Only thing that holds this back from a higher score to me is the lack of a full melody. Melodies are one of the best ways to hook a listener in and stay catchy. This would make for an amazing instrumental though! Suggestion, maybe add some risers and falls. They're a good way to increase tension before the drop.

Quote: Perfectly executes the eerie vibe that the title describes!
Notes: Sound selection is done well, good job striking a motif. Only suggestions would be to fill out the background so it doesn't sound empty, and change the motif as it goes, so that the song doesn't get boring.

Quote: Great spin off of the original MEGALOVANIA, does a great job establishing its own!
Notes: One of the riffs stood out to me really well! I would suggest filling out the background with more instruments, to make the song sound more intense, as well as filling it out so it doesn't sound empty.

Quote: Immediately stood out from the rest! Catchy lyrics (with an AMAZING singer), leaves a lasting impression!
Quotes: Hey, I know Kokoro Beats! I'm the music manager of that game, haha! I promise I'm not being biased against anyone, giving everyone the same judgement. Suggestions would be increasing the singer's vocal volume, as well as taking away and simplifying the instrumental. Mixing could be the next step to making this masterpiece professional! Take out/or lower the volume of some of the chiptune leads behind the vocals. They're amazing, but it clashes too much with the frequencies of the singing. Lower some of the heavy pad chord's volume down too, it's a little too heavy. For this style, also increase the drum's volume. Main things are just to focus the singing and drums in this song. That's all it needs to hit perfection!

Quote: There is nothing wrong with this song, other than the instruments (especially the percussion). I hate to give a bad rating, but songs made on Beepbox just usually don't sound that great. Transition to a better DAW (even if it's just one of the Beepbox mods), and you will make amazing music, I'm sure!

i really don't like those ai music generators. let me look for any way possible to shut them down (not just because i don't like them but because they're not good)


also I finished one song from @AZBIDABOI's order, can take more if needed

Thanks for the notice, but you do know we're not customers, we make the music lol.

Even though I'm not a manager, I'll know if they used AI. It's pretty easy to tell

Adding this. Anyway, you dodn't specify anything for Crystal Lights' melody (you said n/a). I need you to say something or the math won't work (unless you want me to skip you in that part and do the rest's average): what should I add as your score?
