Beat This! - May 9-10, 2018

[Fade]

The next competition will be from May 9-10th! See the information below.

Signups

The signups will be on May 9th at 10am ET, and end around 8pm ET, or until we have 20 contestants (whichever comes first). Voting will be for 1 day, on May 10th, 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 make a beat with this sample!
• You can modify the sample (chop, effects, etc.) but we MUST be able to recognize the original sample.
• Your beat must be no longer than 3 minutes!

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

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 favoritism 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.

One of the beats didn't flip the sample. I put it in anyway, but just be aware when voting!

@Fade , it's all good. It's very noticeable anyway. But it is still a good beat

that beat was so hard it made me punch myself in the face for it not following the rule

 

[Fade]

Yeah I used to just take them out but I put them in anyway because I know people will vote properly. It's a shame though, but I try to make the rules as clear as possible.
