I made it to round 3, 1 more round and im in the finals.

Hello slotvent

Thanks for uploading “Deep Black Hole” to GarageBand.com. Congratulations are in order! Your song did a bang up job in Round 2 of the Active Contest,and held its own against some stiff competition. It’s been reviewed by folks all over the world, been subjected to raw, unfiltered scrutiny from people you don’t even know…and guess what?…. They liked it! The blood, sweat and tears have paid off.

Your song made it to the upper echelon of its genre, and will now move on to the next level to battle it out with its peers in Round 3. Songs in Round 3 will move through an entirely new review cycle, to be reviewed and ranked against the other top songs in their genre. We’ll measure your new ranking based on a combination of this new data and the old data. When the dust settles, those left standing at the top of the charts will get a shot at moving on to Round 4 and be one step closer to getting played on Yahoo! Launch radio.

If you have any questions about the review process, please check out the updated Review Process FAQ.

“Deep Black Hole” finished at # 77 in Electronica.

In addition to moving up on our active charts, “Deep Black Hole” will still remain available in our All-time charts and you can continue to monitor its status on your Song Profile page.

Thanks for your support.

Rock on,

Yesterday was a day of disbelief when i logged on to myspace and checked the charts to find i WAS actually in there. Shock horror i know but lets all settle down a second. Does this mean that myspace felt guilty for deleting me earlier this month or have i actually made it into the charts.

As it stands today i am ranked 74th in the top 100 drum and bass charts, I cant wait to see where i am tomorrow. Thanks to all that have played my music on that site and i suppose a small thanks to the owners that finally allowed me into the charts after 2 years of never seeing my face in there at all.

For some strange reason today i decided to turn on the pc and go straight to google to see what would happen if i typed in “slotvent” and searched for myself. This is something that i have never done before, and i was shocked to see

Results 1 - 10 of about 46,300 for slotvent. (0.19 seconds)

This is amazing !! OK fair enough i did submit this site to google but to be listed on all the podcast directory’s is mind blowing as im pretty sure it was not me that added the songs. In fact i know it was not me that added the songs.

Now this got me thinking … Do it

A, Go through the whole of google and make a note of all the dirrerent sites i seem to be on.

B, Save all the little icons like the ones in the menu on the right and build a list on this site.

The creation of a page on here listing all the sites that im on could be pretty cool, Then again it could also be very time consuming and somewhat painful. I guess the easy option is - If you want to see a page with all the sites im on add a comment below telling me so, If i get enough comments it might make me do something about it.

A number of professional studios have been caught out using unauthorised – ie, cracked – versions of Waves plug-ins by none other than the legendary plug-in producers themselves.

The full story reported on Pro Sound News Europe details how Waves sent out teams of investigators earlier this year to secretly gather video evidence in support of claims that certain pro facilities were using dodgy copies of Waves gear. Unwitting engineers and studio owners were captured on film talking about – and even using – the plugs, later resulting in rather stern letters from Waves informing the studios that they intended to prosecute unless they settled out of court “for a sum several times in excess of the list price of the item concerned”.

So far, studios in both the US and UK have been caught red-handed in this manner, including “six well-known UK studios” and a “prominent education establishment”. Clearly, these places should know better, and obviously aren’t short of a bob or two either, so they’re no doubt rather red-faced about it all. It’s said that none of the cases have yet come to court, so we can only assume they’ve dipped into their bulging pockets to cough up the settlement amount.

CM is right behind Waves on this, and we hope to bring you a more in-depth update on the matter in a future issue of the magazine, not to mention a review of their all-new API Collection EQ/compression bundle.
