    Hi guys,

    I really enjoyed listening to this month's entries so far. I've had a bash at a Mash-Up of my own.

    I tried to aim for a Collision Course-inspired reinterpretation and, despite many false starts and scrapped ideas, this was a lot of fun. As was mentioned previously, Collision Course is as much a remix album as it is simply a mash-up album, and I tried to imitate some of Mike Shinoda's trademark percussion layering, guitar chopping, vocal arranging goodness! Needless to say, I'm sure there are plenty of things that could be improved upon, but overall, I'm happy with how it's turned out! :)

    Have a listen and leave any constructive feedback/criticism!

    Without further ado, my entry: Linkin Park - With You / Wretches and Kings / When They Come For Me (Mash-Up)

    Thanks!

    Hey guys, I was busy making something more experimental but as I expected, I didn't get to finish it on time + it is experimental so probably not too good. I sampled something out of a song for the first time and used it for a mash-up.

    Because this mash-up isn't really finished I'm gonna keep the first one I put up for sure! This one still needs a lot of tweeks and is choppy at times. But I thought it'd be alright to post it anyways to hear you're thoughts.

    I sampled a beat out of Kool & The Gang - Messenger of Wisdom and mixed it with Wretches and Kings (the speech), Empty Spaces and High Voltage (Reanimation Version) + What I've Done scratches.

    This is the download link, I'd appreciate it if you guys still check it out and give your critique: http://www.mediafire.com/?huoocp2ilv62bh3

    The vocals are sometimes off imo and the mastering isn't good at all I'm guessing (I'm not good at mastering, still learning) so that's the reason I want critique, to get better :). Anyways, enjoy!

    Derek said on Page 5 that "Honestly, just mashing up Linkin Park with Linkin Park isn't going to likely win the competition."

    After listening to this, I disagree wholeheartedly.

    It all depends on the quality of the entry. We'll listen to all of them and choose accordingly.

    m_macdonald, I love how you made WTCFM sound like Mike was singing instead of Chester. Clever touch!

    Let's just say, both Glen Orpheus and Macdonald have challenged my opinions on mashups using just LP/LP + Their Side Projects. Well done guys, you've made judging this contest a royal bitch :lol:.

    ENTRIES CLOSED. NO MORE SUBMISSIONS/FIXES!

    This should be interesting. Entered this contest at first because I didn't think there was as many people entering as I was expecting but then there were ton of great mashups that just blew me away. I know my top pics but just want to say I thoroughly enjoyed listening to everyone's mashups!

    We had an incredible 35 entries to go through. This was far and away our most popular contest to date. Winner will be announced sometime next week, with the contest then taking a two week break until January 1st where will relaunch the competition.

    Although next month will NOT be mashups, we are hoping to still have the same level of enthusiasm for next month as we loved the creativity on display here!

    Good luck to everyone!

    Although I like almost all the entries here, I completely love Glen's and m_macdonald's entry. Both are pretty dope.
