"MTV Music Generator (North America)" is basically "MUSIC 2000 (UK)" so it's done on a PS1 (edit: could of course be a PS2 running a PS1 game, or if you have the right PS3... well you get the gist!) whereas MTVMG2 is of course PS2.

I had a listen, and it sounds pretty authentic to me, but I've not used the products in a little while(!)  

There's def. some TV out noise at the start of the file, and I don't think there are any external sounds used?

I'm sure Casper can clear it up for us, but I think it's a kosher entry.  

The tracks need to be composed using; MUSIC, MUSIC 2000, MTV Music Generator, MTV Music Generator 2, MUSIC 3000, Pocket Music (GBC/GBA) or MUSIC 2002 Club Edition. MUSIC 2000 was released on PC, and MUSIC 2002 Club Edition is only on PC.

Hope that clears it up?

AFAIK, Caspers tune was "...made in one hour on mtv music generator(north america)".

Quote from DJ Droppin;
"Edit: We submit our songs here. Is it okay we comment on the songs in here? or..."


Yeah, I was thinking that when the first batch of comments came in, I thought
"Oh no, how will we know where all the songs are?"

But, now I've set up the BandCamp page I'll be trawling this thread every now and
again and copying songs to http://timgulxmas2009.bandcamp.com for completeness.

So, from my perspective I don't mind... keeps it fun & fresh.

'course, I'm a bit of an interloper here, so it's not up to me, LOL!

Just so everyone's happy with the terms of the competition, best to get rid of any problems at the start! 

Here's a PDF of some (legal sounding) T's & C's that should ensure everyone knows what's going on and no-one
gets upset/offended/cheesed off. I know it seems a bit overkill to do this kind of thing, but I've seen less formal
things go pear shaped because the rules were all a bit "wishy washy".

If any of the admins need changes to the rules I can update and re-post.

Looking forward to hearing more!!! 

Hello again! 

To give members and the public easy access to competition entries I've created a BandCamp page;

http://timgulxmas2009.bandcamp.com

If ANYONE who enters objects to their entry being posted there, let me know ASAP and I will remove it.
This BandCamp page links to the TIMGUL site, so hopefully it will drive traffic here too...

I've set this BandCamp page up just for the competition... as people submit their tracks, I will upload them
to the page - unless you don't want me to (please state when you post your entry to this thread).

If you want me to post any extra info. or art in your track details, post it with your submission in this topic.

Hope this helps?

ATB,
Tim.

Thanks guys... truly heart warming comments.

It's been a while since I've done anything meaningful on MUSIC 2000 or MTVMG2.

I may very well kick my son off the PS2 and fire them up to see what happens!

Once again, I'm glad to see there's life in the old dog yet and you guys are still getting great sounds from the PlayStation One or PS2.

Coincidentally, I found a copy of Slinky MUISC for PC last week which I didn't even know I had any longer... should try installing that too.

Take it easy!

Wow, This really great! 

Really uplifting and nicely produced... loving that sub-bass too - gave my studio monitors a well needed shake out!

Glad to see people are still making great music with my MUSIC packages. 

ATB,
C.S.

I've only just found this forum... how lame is that? 

Glad to hear such great work being done!!!

Keep it up guys...

Hey I'm having a ball listening to all these great tracks... 

People have been doing exactly what I 'd hoped, but I never
thought they'd still be using MUSIC/MTVMG in 2008!

I'm really humbled... 

The reason I designed the original MUSIC was so that pretty
much anyone could make music that had a reasonable amount
of credibility.

Back in the 80's when I was a struggling musician, I always
wanted the kit to make the tunes I knew were inside me trying
to get out, but it was all way too expensive.

If nothing else, I hoped to give the power of music to as many
people as possible!

At the end of the day, there are few things that can make you
feel good about yourself in this World, but writing a track from
start to finish and having other people hear it and comment
on it is definitely one of them. 

Keep 'em comin'! 
Tim.

REALLY nice work... I'm impressed. 

Keep up the good work!

It's really great to see that people are still using my babies! 

Last tune I wrote using MTVMG2 was a cover of one of my Amiga game tunes
for a compilation CD called IMMORTAL 2, which has to be quite some time ago(!)

I think I should drag out my PS2 and have a play again...

Have fun!
