Beat This! - February 1-2, 2017

[Fade]

The next competition will be from February 1-2nd! See the information below.

Signups

The signups will be on February 1st at around 10am ET, and end around 8pm ET. Voting will be for 1 day, on February 2nd, where the results will be posted the same day.

Go here to signup (click the "signup" tab - it will open up on the signup day)

Theme: SAMPLE FLIP

• You MUST sample William De Vaugn - "Be Thankful For What You Got".
• We MUST be able to hear whichever parts you sampled!
• You can download the YouTube video in MP3 format here.
• This is a sample flip.

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!

Voting

From now on, the voting will be by all members! 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 (depending on the mood I'm in).

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 favouritism when voting.

Sponsor

This month, the competition will be sponsored by Greg Savage & DIY Music Biz, where the winner will get 1 on 1 consultation from industry insider Greg Savage on music licensing.

Rules

I think he was influenced by Curtis for sure but from what I gather, it was this version that came out first.
