Feel free to ask questions about the jam here!

Submitted

Can I make a OST on the style of... Or Can I only make covers ?

Host

Yep! You can make an ost in the style of... (Also called a tribute)^^

Submitted

Great! Thanks!

Is there a number of tracks required? Does it require 3+ or can it be 1-2? Asking so I can get a general idea of how many need to be made.

Host(+1)

The least number of tracks required is 1 ^^

Alrighty. Thanks for letting me know

Submitted

Hi, could I upload multiple tracks that pass the two minute mark, but aren't two minutes long themselves?

Submitted

Hello, I can answer this question. It just needs to be 2 minutes *total*
You could have twelve 10-second songs, if you wanted XD

Submitted

Perfect, thanks!

Hello! This Jam is for music based on *existing* soundtracks. The idea is to  use song(s) that you like and do a cover, tribute or medley with that source material as a guide. (e.g. remix of Super Mario Bros. etc.)

Host

Hi! Adding on to what Tetsu said, the exact thing you just said is almost identical to the normal OST Composing Jam! You can check out the most recent one of that here which just occurred last month.

Hi! Am I able to make covers and tributes to multiple games, or am I making music with one game in mind?

Submitted(+1)

Hello! You can made it for several games

Hello! I was wondering about the optimal cover art size and/or dimensions. I'm planning to upload to 3 separate platforms: YouTube, SoundCloud, and itch. Should I make the cover art large for YouTube and crop it for the other platforms or is there another option?

Host

Hi, the dimensions of the cover art for itch.io is 630x500px, for SoundCloud it's a square (like normal cover arts) and if you want to fill the whole screen for YouTube it's typically 1920x1080px. It is ultimately up to you, but if I were to recommend a size, I think a square or 1920x1080px would be easiest to use and resize for most sites. Hope this helps!

Thank you very much; this was exactly the confirmation I was looking for!

Hello, once I've submitted my project, is it supposed to indicate that it's already submitted? Currently I'm still seeing the "Submit" button but it says I have no project to submit even though I have created it. Is there a way to track if I had submitted it correctly?

Host

Hi! You can see next to your username here that there's a “submitted” tag next to your name, you can also click on it to see the submission page ^^

Submitted

Ah, thank you! :)

Submitted

Hiya, do I need to upload the tracks to Soundcloud before submitting the project? Thanks

Host

Hey! Yep, there'll be a field for you to put the link in when you submit the project ^^

Submitted

Thanks!

Submitted

What happens now that the submission is closed?

Submitted

Since there are no official rankings for the jam, so there's no winner, I think that's it.  Jam's over.

Submitted

When would we know if our submissions made it to the Spotify album?

Submitted

I’m not sure as I didn’t host the jam. But i guess you can check every couple of days on Lone Rabbit’s Spotify page?

Submitted

ah ok. Thank you :)

Host

Hi, sorry for the late response! We'll be sending out messages about it to those who qualified around next week via either email or discord ^^

Submitted

Gotcha. Thank you :)
