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.

Can you elaborate on the theme please. Guitar and piano? It's not very clear.

Does it have to be guitar & piano or can it be piano & guitar?

It can be you playing a piano while I bash a guitar over your head.

Nice, official Fade collaboration!

So when it says no vocal on the hook does that mean i can put a hook on the vocal? And a vocal on the verse?

From what Fade has told me, yes. And it has apparently also caused a lot of issues.

People will cry regardless, just best to give them as little to cry about as possible

i dont think the vote counts are really that high, its basically just us voting. Most people not in a battle have no emotional investment in it and dont take part, some do, most dont. I dont always make it to be able to vote on the competitions. The main point of the battles for me, and why I do it, is just to get an idea of where Im at, where I can improve and to be influenced by the work of others. Just to see how my work is standing up against some decent competition, I love a challenge, it takes me to the next level.

no doubt this site has help me improve my beat making and definitely pushed me to get more creative and unique with the elements I use for making beats I absolutely love the site and the battles was just curious I had never seen it talked about or mentioned so was just interested if there was a story or reason behind it
