The next competition will be from October 4-5th! See the information below.

Signups

The signups will be on October 4th at 12pm ET/EST, and end around 8pm ET, or until we have enough contestants (whichever comes first - depending on the theme).
Voting will be for one day, on October 5th, where the results will be posted the same day.

Check out the Beat This! ranks: https://www.illmuzik.com/beat-battles/?cat=bthis

*Note: check out this site to find out the correct time difference for your timezone:

The Signup page is here (it will open up on the signup day)

Theme: JAZZ
Time Limit: 2 minutes
*Vocal Track Allowed?: NO
**Vocal Snippets Allowed?: YES

  • Your beat must have a JAZZ feel to it!
  • It must still be a HIP-HOP beat!
===========
* VOCAL TRACK ALLOWED? This means you can have a full vocal track with your beat (acapella, for example).
** VOCAL SNIPPETS ALLOWED? This means you can have vocal snippets in your beat (very short vocal parts, for example). This is where you can also have an intro with talking (like from a movie).
===========

Voting

If you are competing, you will be able to vote but not for yourself. DO NOT TRY TO CHEAT! I will be watching for cheaters. This means you cannot sign up under different names or get your friends and family to sign up either. If you are caught cheating you could be banned.

Voting Criteria

You can use whatever sounds you want, samples, synths, just remember to read the rules for the rest of the restrictions. What the judges will be looking for is originality, creativity, mixing skills and overall dopeness!

Beats

All the beats will now be displayed in a random order and without any names. All you will see is: Beat #001, Beat #002, etc. This is so that there is no favoritism when voting.

Rules

If you're not sure about the rules, read this thread.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions about the competition, please post them in here.

@Fade Any reason why we can't upload FLAC files? MP3 quality is not exactly the best and WAV takes too long to upload.

Probably how FLAC process in his player. It may come up as a empty file. That's one of the worst file to use in my opinion
MP3 is much more common and reliable within the browser, plus the HTML player doesn't support FLAC.

Hey at least it's not Real Player files (.rm remember those?!?) from 20 years ago!

I remember real media...both audio and video. Funny how the MP3 format has been around just as long.

The first year I think it was, we were using realplayer files for Beat This. Years later I converted them to mp3. It was a good format at the time but compared to today just awful audio quality.

Been around since 2001. That's quite a long time for any website to be around.
