Beat This! - January 4-5, 2017

[Fade]

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

Signups

The signups will be on January 4th at around 10am ET, and end around 8pm ET. Voting will be for 1 day, on January 5th, where the results will be posted the same day.

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

Theme: Snare Reverb

• Your beat must have lots of reverb on your snare (something similar to this).
• It doesn't have to be on each snare hit, but at least within every 4 bars.

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

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.

I don't want to post a hip-hop beat...does that matter? :x

 

[pastproducer]

I'm having trouble finding my way around here.

I got an email with a link to the sample source song for this competition? Lost the email and now can't find the song on here.

Also, this page says anything is allowed, samples, synths whatever but I'm mainly interested in sample flip battles, am I entering the wrong battle?

Thanks,
PP

@pastproducer You're talking about that sample flippage.

@Sucio It's gotta be hip hop!

 

[pastproducer]

@pastproducer You're talking about that sample flippage.

Thanks. So sample flips are never part of the battles?

No, that's just for fun.
