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.

I think all of your beats are really cool.

I actually wanna mix some of these to actually make them good, really bring them to life - think some of them really deserve it.

I love hearing beats that sound like they're from less experienced producers, because they're almost like pure 'idea'. Uninhibited, not framed by rules or habits. I remember having really dope ideas and creativity when i started, just inexperienced execution. That's why I want to mix some of these mad ones.

Think I know what beat will win, though it's not my choice. Good work at all, whether that's production values, or emotive work.

Love
