Title: BLINDTEST, find the song and the band !
Post by: Lucs on June 27, 2008, 07:02:07 PM
Ok, here are samples of 10 tracks from 10 differents artists.

Download one of those two files (they are the same, just one is .rar, the other .zip, choose the one you want, they are 3.7Mo big).

http://www.gunsnroses.ch/Lucs/Blindtest.zip
http://www.gunsnroses.ch/Lucs/Blindtest.rar

Un/zip/rar the file, and listen to the songs. Then you have to guess who's the band / artist who plays the song and what's the name of the song.

You get 1 point if you find the band, 1 point if you find the name of the song.

You have to send me your answers by private message. I'll edit this post to add the scores.

You can try to guess as many times as you want. I'll just tell you if you're right or not. I'll give the answers in some days depending on how many people participate and all...

It's an eaaaaaaaaasy one, so pleasssssssse try it !!!

Members of the family of the one who propose the blindtest can participate but CAN'T win. Their score is just for fun. (Added this rules as my little sister is playing it and will probably get the 20 points :D lol)

----------------------------
All songs are copyrighted to the respectives artists / bands. It's just some SHORT samples (30s maximum) so I guess it's ok to post them here !

----------------------------------------------------

SCORES

- ferret : 9 points
- Hypno : 10 points
- Asuka : 9 points
- Matthias : 13 points
- Menacia : 12 points
- Yzaleen : 20 points (doesn't count cause she's my sister)
- Sirimono : 15 points
-  MillieQOF : 20 points

---------------------------------------------------

THE WINNER IS MillieQOF
---------------------------------------------------

What does the winner win ? Well, the winner will make the next "blindtest" !
How do you win ? The first person who gets 20 points win. If nobody reach 20 points, the one who has the most points on THURSDAY 3 JULY (yes cause I'm leaving the forum for some days on friday :D), is the winner.

Well it's cool if you talk a little here so the topic is still on top so people can see when I update the scores !

You just CAN'T give the answers of course ;)

Well I thought that giving the answers here wouldnt make much sense. But I like the overall idea of this thread. It's nice to find out how much I know about music and how I much I don't

I can't cut mp3's... otherwise I'd love to make a test once, I just need help from another person then :D

I participated... I hope lucs posts tomorrow how much points i've got
Title: BLINDTEST, find the song and the band !
Post by: Lucs on June 28, 2008, 09:57:03 AM
Yup I will in some minutes !!!

To cut a mp3, just use Audacity ! It's really easy to use !

MillieQQF found them all !!!!!!!!!!!!

You win ! Great job ! You can already prepare your blindtest.

Just some advices  / "rules" :

- Choose 10 songs
- Don't choose too "unknown" songs (like a local band or what)

Now I dunno if you (talking to everybody here) prefer that I give the answers of the blindtest NOW, or should I wait 2-3 days so people can still play.

Maybe we could say that the next blindtest comes :

One week later if nobody found all the songs
OR
Two days after there is a winner

What do you think ?

Post by: ferret on June 30, 2008, 02:24:31 PM
I love you for Pea  :lol: But omg, I totally didn't know it was Luna Sea (that could be because I thought there latter albums were too generic and I only listened to them...once*bad LS fan*).

Are scores allowed? Those are nearly(?) impossible to google. You'd just have to say which movie the theme is from and who composed it (THAT you can google if you don't know it).

Hmm, I'd say scores are allowed. But please don't take impossible ones. xD
Well, should I pass it on to you and give everyone the correct answers?

Ok guys, this is the "score" edition of blindtest. All you have to do is

- guess the movie (which is the "hardest" part, really, the composers are really easy to find on the net if you don't know their names)
- send me a pm with the movie title and the name(s) of the composer(s)

Here you go! (http://www.sendspace.com/file/i2rbwx)

I'm so hopeless at this! Yeah, I recognise 7 easily, but the rest? I must be deaf, or too busy watching a movie to be listening to the music.

Post by: ferret on July 16, 2008, 10:47:41 AM
Aww, at least you have 7, it was hard to pick a part because everyone and their grandchildren knows that song. I thought number 2 would be just as easy, though  :(

I got four so far but I'm pretty sure I know at least eight of them XD. It's annoying because I know most of them SO WELL and I hate that I can't remember where I know them from half the time XD.
I'm gonna go drink some coffee, I'm sure actually being awake will help.

Oh man, DRAGONHEART? I would've never thought of that in a billion years XD. Even if I've seen the movie so many times.

Damn, I won. I don't even know how to make one XD. Can anyone recommend a little program for this on Mac?

Tricky, huh  ;D

Hum, I believe there were recommendations on the first page, but I think a video editing program will do too, if you have one.

I made mine with Ulead VideoStudio 11.

XDD Yeah I did download that program from the first page here. I also already made a list of the songs I'm going to put in it.
The actual cutting I still have to get down to ^^;. Sorry about the wait! I have exams the week after next and also it's my birthday today and my party was earlier this week so it's been pretty busy XDD.
