thing is I don’t have an archive of the previous bb winners also and i wasnt around for awhile because of certain life situation and so I’m not sure who won which beat battle and I am not able track down/find the winning tracks in question being that idmf got reincarnated, so maybe a year/few months from now see what the situation is in terms of having tracks to be considered for release… and to determine how many releases will come forth per year…and to see if the releases are successful/operate smoothly…
also yes i’ll volunteer to do this, I don’t mind taking the reigns for this for a time being, I was thinking maybe having around somewhere between 2-4 “best of the best of the beat battles” aka bbbb releases per year depending on how many bb’s there are… so yea 12/15 tracks sound feasible, and i’m hoping some at least 1 or 2 people from the idmf netlabel team (basically whomever is available at the time of preparing the releases) will be involved in throughout the process and be kept in the loop in regards to everything and give everything a seal of approval, helping to oversee stuff to ensure quality and to also help judge and screen each winning bb track in terms of quality and based upon the legality of the samples used
if anything…I’ll help by archiving the winners from this point forward, and for now as temporary thing, i’ll also come up with some artwork ideas for the best of beat battles release,… I’ll even take a shot at mastering them even though my setup is limited being that i don’t have monitors everything I do is in the box and I’m kind of a noob when it comes to mastering
and if my masters/artwork ideas don’t get the final seal of approval from someone on the team then someone else hopefully could take the reigns in those aspects… and if something comes up and if I am unable to be reached I’ll send a dropbox link to what I have archived to the net label as a backup beforehand in case something happens in real life thats out of my control…
maybe the bbbb releases can be done under like a sub label of idmf (and will have a different name) and all the winning tracks of each beat battle will go through another judging process to be considered for release, with at least 1 person from the idmf netlabel team that being whoever has the time at the moment giving the final seal of approval for everything and participating in the judging process to ensure quality, but im only suggesting this in order to lighten the load for the netlabel team…being that you guys are busy moderating the forum, running the netlabel, considering individual submissions for release, and are busy with real life stuff…
I’m thinking that some of those with a trust level of 3 here on discourse i think that’s one level below mod privileges and including some idmf artists will handle the footwork for the best of the best beat battles releases, by either being some of the judges, or by being responsible for coming up with the artwork, or help handling the promo, and even mastering, and eventually in due time someone else will take over being the person that takes the lead for the footwork, also I kinda suck as a salesman… so the promo stuff i will probably need some assistance with…
basically my idea is that those of us involved with the bbbb releases will operate like a B-team to assist idmf’s A-team solely for the bbbb releases, it’ll be centralized to a few select trusted users (consisting of idmf artists & forum regulars) with at least 1 or 2 people from team A being active throughout the process, acting as representative(s) for the netlabel and will oversee team B by giving everything the final seal of approval and be active in the judging process and all stuff will be discussed/handled using group pm’s/email’s instead of public threads…
once again im only suggesting this being that I don’t want to dump more work on the idmf staff…
but then again my ideas might not be feasible, if they aren’t let me know because right now i’m just spitballing at this point, also i don’t expect to be granted with a trust level of three…being because of my past behavior on the old forum, which is fair/understandable…but thats another thing, so yea if anyone thinks otherwise about the feasibility of this you are welcome to chime in with your suggestions…
also @FMB, @bb regulars, and the rest of the idmf netlabel team, i’ll step aside if any of you wanna/are able to take the lead for this, i’ll still help out by coming up with with some ideas for the artwork, being one of the judges if needed, and taking a shot at mastering the bbbb releases to lighten the load for white noise…
also if the community thinks that someone other than me is better suited to be the lead person for the bbbb releases than say so…
but if not, then i hope I have all your blessings to proccede being the lead person for the bbbb releases for the time being…
