Help us pick a 4th place winner
The voting was very close on a few other songs so we would like the community help us pick a 4th place winner. We added a poll to this thread with the remaining 70 songs so you to cast your vote (you may pick up to 3 songs, but votes can't be changed). We will close the poll this Friday, October 28th and award the 4th place winner with The Legend.

Holy shit! Wow wasn't ready for that. So many great entries.

Big surprise, but I'm not complaining. I was ready to go straight to the Propellerhead Shop and buy it.
Congrats to Furyweekend and Artotaku.
I'll make sure to vote for the 4th place winner.

Big thanks to Synapse Audio and Noel for arranging this Song Challenge.

[SynapseAudio]

A big thanks to all participants! Note it was so close that not being 1st, 2nd or 3rd does not mean anything at all, there was a large pool of potential winners in our view and we simply had to make a choice. Perhaps there is a track that Reasontalk forum members feel strongly should have won, hence the community vote

Really well done and fun song challenge, Noel and Synapse Audio

Was inspiring hearing all the entries and these challenges sure teach you how to use a given device.

Thanks for putting it together

[artotaku]

Wow. Getting used to the 3rd place
Big thanks to Noel for hosting these challenges, Synapse Audio for developing a milestone synth for the RE platform, Tritone and Fury for the gold and silver medals as well as all other participants. Great entries we had.
If I wouldn´t have won The Legend, I´d bought it for sure.

[FLVZ]

Well done to everyone, and thank you to the hosts for helping us finish songs haha!!

[Troyvasanth]

A Big congrats to the winners..
Thanks to Noel G. and synapse for the challenge.
Congrats to all the participants as well, some really great entries.
A great synth, I am keeping it in my buy list.

[TheGodOfRainbows]

Congratulations winners! Thanks Noel and Synapse! Congratulations to every one else who entered the challenge!

[Benedict]

Congrats to all.

Tritone, that is a super track that drips Moog sound.

Congrats to all.

My ears drank it up and it decalcified my pineal gland. So good.

[Breach The Sky]

Congrats to the winners! The standar for this challenge was very high indeed.

The Legend is a joy to work with. Great sound and interface. It's especially good for bass sounds. Will buy for sure!

The reverb is very good also. All Synapse reverbs works really great with synth sounds when you want these big spaces I find. Have you ever thought about making a advanced reverb Synapse? In the vain off Strymons Big Sky but with your touch. That would be something.

[Advanced Suite]

Great work winners keep it up! just got done placing my votes for 4th place. Good luck and vibes to the rest of us

[nikonovs]

WOW! A Lot Of Thanks to Synapse Audio and Noel G. for the challenge! And congrats all the winners!
It was a greta pleasure to take part in it!

[TritoneAddiction]

Tritone, that is a super track that drips Moog sound.

Thanks, appreciate it.
Funny, I don't know anything about Moog or analog synths, so whatever Moog sound I managed to get in the track was highly unintentional.
But The Legend is a Moog emulation after all, so I guess it makes sense that a song using only The Legend will end up sounding "Moogy".

You'd a thunk but oddly most of the entries are trying so hard to sound "modern" the even succeed.

[stratatonic]

Congratulations to TA , nikonovs and artotaku...These challenges are just getting tougher all the time with entries like that! Amazing stuff.
Until we meet again...

[Buddaka]

Good job to all, lots of great entries and congrats to the winners ofc. Props to Noel and SynapseAudio for this song challenge. Like Stratatonic says, these challenges are getting better/harder every time with this quality of entries, so we got to push it even further. Time to step up the game b*tches!!
ps. Thanks for the 4 votes on my song, whoever voted for it. Muchas gracias.

[Reasonistas]

Thank you all for your kind words. The quality is definitely increasing with each new song challenge, so the judging is getting more difficult. I think the public voting for the 4th spot may become a new tradition. You guys/gals agree?

I enjoy it.... ,)

Maybe we should do a poll for all competitions (top 3), instead of the judges call? You can have a price of the jury if you wish. But public vote is much better imo. Democracy is such a cool thing

Glad to see All The Time is doing great, it was my fave.

direct democracy?

IMHO; sometimes you also have in a beautiful country like Switzerland the fifth season. We swim in freezing rivers, we play deliberately discordant music, and we voted overwhelmingly against having more holidays &. pension paid

[TritoneAddiction]

The only problem with democracy (public voting) here is if a Song Challenge has 70-90 tracks (like with The Legend and Expanse). That's 7-9 full albums to carefully listen to and judge.
I'm not sure I would be able to find the time to listen through all that, especially if I want to give each song a fair listen and not just skim through them.

I'm up for voluntarily public voting for the 4th place, otherwise I'm fine with the dictatorship we have right now

I think Noel and the developer should be the judges since they're the ones setting these song challenges up. And it's the developer who's giving away products.
Besides I'm in these song challenges to write songs and try new REs. And it's fun to listen to how differently everyone uses a synth in their music. But I'm not really interested in being a judge.

But this is just one opinion, I'm sure plenty of people feel differently.

The night I started messing around with The Legend looking for ideas on the song I was going to make, I grabbed my phone and made a quick video. Don't know how much Vocoding you may have done, but reactions on Facebook to this video tells me not many people know that you can literally "play" chords into your vocals, etc - check it out. This is Vocoding with The Legend as the synth carrier.

The song I entered is "This is My Jam" - Space and Drums seen in the list above

speak in riddles
1. no argument given Jury to be called dictatorship
2. that's not the same direct democracy/democracy
3. a public vote is not the proof of democracy (direct democracy = only the participant is a part of it)
4. it is well to generate traffics
