Hmm... silly me. When all you Mad Trackers out there kept bugging me for the last 20 months to start accepting Mad Tracker songs in CMC, I thought some of y'all actually wanted to, um, you know, enter your song? And instead of all this Mad Tracker goodness you've been telling me about, all I hear are crickets instead. Nothin' wrong with crickets, I suppose, but...

Take it easy.. The forum has been very quiet for the whole holidays. CMC or not. 
Some news headline will help maybe?

naah, didn't do it for me Yannick. I usually jump directly to the forum pages, only occasionally check the news 
Anyway, might enter something, but with school starting next week and all, it could become pretty hectic (have to decidce what I want to be when I get big  ) |

News headline? Me like! Me like! 
Sunbuster, I hope to see you enter. Heck, you might win by default. Regardless, voting shouldn't take too long, an hour, maybe 2 hours if you really want to be nit-picky about getting your ballot juuuuuuuust right. It's only 6 songs, so... |

yeah, what the hell. I've got a couple of songs that are in a state that they could be submitted to the compo after a bit of tweaking, plus I have some spare time today so... |

One thing, the rules say no VST plugins because you don't want people to have to download stuff like that to be able to listen to the tune, does that rule out the mpReverb plugin for Madtracker also? |

Well, since the mpReverb is easily available (MT homepage) and is shipped with the 2.3.0RC1, I suppose it is accepted. Is it Novus?

Okay, here's the spirit of that rule. Any entries should be fully playable in the "naked" program itself. That's all I'm going to use, and that's all I'm going to require my voters to use.
There's a method to my madness... it's hard enough to get voters as it is, even when I go out of my way to make it easy for them. If people have to start downloading extra plug-ins and such just to be able to hear one song, they're going to say "Screw it" and not even bother. That's not theory; that's fact that I've learned the hard way.
Yannick, you did mention that this particular plug-in is included in the latest version of Mad Tracker. Does that mean it works as soon as I install the Mad Tracker program itself? If yes, then I'm going to allow it. I already plan to STRONGLY suggest on the site that people use the latest version of each next-gen tracker to play the entries, since all three programs are still under development on some level.
Sunblaster, I would recommend that you not RELY on that plug-in to make the song sound good, because odds are there will be people who will play your song without that plug-in. Keep that in mind. |

The 2.3.0 RC 1 has the reverb in it, and it works as soon as the program is installed.
It is not a 100% official version, but it is very stable except for a little bug in the track labeling.
People who only play songs with it won't have any problem.

Sunblaster, based on Yannick's answer, you can use the reverb. My advice about not RELYING on it still applies though. I can strongly suggest people use the most up-to-date Mad Tracker, but that doesn't mean they will. |

Well, since I've used the plugin in pretty much every tune I made since the plugin came out, that would mean I either havet to dig up some really old tune, or create a new one that doesn't use the plugin. I guess I'll just take my chances I believe pretty much everyone that uses Madtracker has downloaded the plugin anyway so... |

Does this mean that you strongly advice us not to use more than 32 tracks neither? (As 64 tracks is only available in the last version, which is not 100% official yet...) |

Let me re-phrase. 
Use [insert any feature that is not fully supported in older versions of Mad Tracker here] at your own risk. Short of infecting the computers of CMC's visitors with a trojan horse that installs the latest Mad Tracker on their hard drive, I cannot force the voters to download and use the latest Mad Tracker.
There. That oughta cover it. Now chop-chop! Enter some songs, peepz!
