the rules:
Welcome to the dubstepforum production sample swap
---------------------------------------------------
a.) The RULES
-------------
1. No commercial content (warez, sample cds, aka use common sense so I don't kill or lock you out from a free service)
2. Archive you files in either .zip, .rar, or .7z format (if your package requires a multifile split archive, create a sub-folder for it)
no longer applies, but try to keep the files reasonably sized 3. File size limit is 50mb, but this doesn't mean you can't do a multifile split archive (see rule 2)
4. Do not delete other user's content and contributions. I'm allowing full read and write access via this login to this directory, and all sessions will be logged, so anyone found to be abusing the service or vandalizing others files will be banned and publicly named and shamed (along with your ip address >:D )
would be nice, but not going to make it a requirement5. Along with your file, upload a .txt file of the same name listing it's contents. A simple way to do this in windows is the following.
I. compile all the files you will be compiling into a folder somewhere you can find easily
II. go to the start menu and click on run...
III. type in cmd hit enter (congrats you're now in command prompt
IV. ok for example's sake say i places my files in D:\upload\samplepack now you would type in the following command dir D:\upload\samplepack /s > list.txt
V. this will generate a .txt file names list.txt in the folder listing all the files and any files in subdirectories
VI. after you create your archive file, rename the list.txt file to correspond with the archive files name. (ex: dh-snare-pack.rar dh-snare-pack.txt)
6. Let the users on the board know you uploaded something new and maybe a slight description of what you uploaded would be helpful (and a link too
) in this thread daf-sample-swap-t155182.html7. Enjoy
new:html based upload @ http://www.tentativerecordings.com/sampleswapupload pm me for login info
the mission statement:
anyone be interested in this? i have unlimited webspace and bandwidth going to waste that could be used to host sample packs/files from the users on here rather than the time limited free services like mediafire, yousendit etc.
it'd be the same setup as the doa sample swap that clone runs (http://www.darkbeats.com/sampleswap)
definitely would be easy to setup and moderate and when the time comes to change hosts i can even ask for donations
could be a permanent place to host the sample comp packs and vsti comp packs as well
donations:
i usually don't do this, but my wallet is looking pretty barren these days and the yearly hosting bill is coming soon, so any donations people would like to make towards this and the production blog so i can keep it ad free would be appreciated. i set up a paypal just for this mhigbee420@gmail.com
every lil cent would be appreciated so i don't have to go give handjobs in an alley to keep it running
as an incentive for donating i'm gonna offer a few tier levels:
2$/1 Euro/1 Quid - release of your choice in format you want from tentative or any tune from my commercial back catalog
8$/5 Euro/5 Quid - add to tentative promo list (all future digital releases for free, plus i'll toss you the back catalog)
20$/15 Euro/15 Quid - all of the above plus next 3 physical releases (have 2 cds planned for 2011 plus more)
i know it's not much to offer, but it's the one way i can think of to say thank you
oh yeah and just a headps up donation wise, since i'm only periodically checking that email address shoot me a pm or an e-mail to deadly.habit@gmail.com and depending on amount relevant info for incentive stuff
delivery will be via yousendit for files in case you need to adjust spam filters on your email account
Donation thank you list:
