I could swear that Soundcloud puts some weird mastering on the music... Maybe i should give Alihoopsy a chance next time...

Yeah Soundclouds sound quality is pretty terrible imo. It's pretty annoying when you've put all your efforts to make a good sounding mix. As soon as you upload it on Soundcloud it's like a new mix, a shittier one.
That's why I entered with a youtube video in the Legend Song Challenge this time around. I just got tired of having my mix massacred, especially for a high quality sounding synth like The Legend. It's pretty bad when a video streaming website does a better job at sound than a website that's designed specifically to play music.
I'm not sure how good Allihoopa is sound quality wise but I read somewhere it's about as good (bad) as Soundcloud. But I haven't tried it, maybe it's worth a try.

Any Factory Sound Bank drums and/or samples, but not drums and/or samples from external plug-ins.
Does this mean I can use third party drum samples, or just FSB drum samples?
If I can use third party drum and percussion samples how can I know if they are created with "external plug-ins"?

Just to double check... do the drum samples have to be reason refills? Or can we use drum samples from a sample pack that's not from Reason? Totally understand that this is a reason competition and it all should be in house.

You may use any drum samples, as clarified below:

What you may not use in your song:
  • No instrument samples (you can use drums samples and samples of Parsec Spectral Synthesizer)
Sometimes it is difficult to know if drum samples were created with external plugins so we focus our efforts to ensure winners only used Parsec Spectral Synthesizer for all synth sounds.

What you may not use in your song:
No synth that is not Parsec Spectral Synthesizer (including Combinators featuring Parsec Spectral Synthesizer that include any other synth)
Interpreting this as strictly as possible, does this mean a Combinator patch using Parsec for primary sound output and a default rack plugin like e.g. Malström or Thor for CVR generation isn't permitted?

One of my biggest gripes with Parsec is the limited number of LFO waveforms...

Yes, this is permitted.

[quote="Noel G."]Welcome to Reasonistas and Propellerhead's Parsec Spectral Synthesizer Song Challenge.

"2nd place: Parsec 2, PX7 and Synchronous"

If someone who comes in second and happens to have these particular re's they would be better off coming in 3rd and being able to select 1.
If this happens will negotiation be possible?

Hi All

I'm in. Using Parsec 2 for everything except drums which are Kong. Nothing you can hear in the mix uses anything but Props units.

I'm certain Propellerhead will work something out in this case.
