Halloween Comp 2010!

MP3Unsigned Halloween Contest 2010

Rules:

1) Each track submitted must be new to the site and preferably created this month

2) Tracks can be in any genre or style.

3) Tracks submitted can be solo or collaborative efforts, instrumental or with vocals

4) Last but not least, each track submitted must have a Halloween theme! (dark, creepy, horror, scary etc)

Prizes

I'm putting this prize up myself as our next sponsor will require more of a lead in and running time. The first prize is a Tascam US-428 midi controller (used by yours truly but it perfect condition).



This baby will save you tearing your hair out from fiddling with the mouse in your DAW, you have a jog wheel, faders for 8 tracks (unlimited banks), transport, mute, solo, midi, EQ etc. It's also got 2 XLR inputs, two balanced 1/4" inputs, two unbalanced 1/4" inputs, 1/4" headphone out, and S/PDIF I/O and 32 channels of midi/IO. It's a great piece of kit for both midi and analogue artists. You don't have to install any boards or soundcards, you just plug it in via USB. If your DAW can handle a midi controller then this should fit right in, if not well it comes bundled with Cubasis VST (Steinberg).

Here's a detailed review by Emusician.com

The artist(s) involved in the winning track will also receive get the following

1) The much lauded artist of the week position on the main homepage (over consecutive weeks if a collaboration involving more than one artist)

2) Graphic medal on artists page (in artist Bio)

3)Second and third place will receive graphics medals and artist of the week spots in consecutive weeks.

The winners will be chosen by public vote, if there is a tie site Admin will decide the winner.

I think i'll have a bash at it too..... nice bit of kit , you gotta be innit to win it i suppose lol

[geiger167]

Not sure about the public vote thing to be honest, really would prefer it the competition was decided by a judge (it is your prize to be fair, so who would complain lol) If you don't fancy being the only judge or dont have the time pick a couple of other admins or somebody impartial.

[Hydro Hellsing]

I almost wasn't sure about the vote but now I like public vote, lol one persons' judgement for all the diff genre's involved makes it a tougher contest for ppl outside the genre he doesn't care for, not that Amadeus would judge like that, it's just easy to be swayed by ppl/genre's you like.

[riddle]

Public Vote Hmmmmmm, Who's the Public?
Looks like you won't be shipping to the states

[Hydro Hellsing]

Good way to find out how many ppl actually come to the site lol or atleast the forum.

[Ffabbia]

Amazing prize, and incredibally useful - good luck to whoever wins I'd enter myself, but the lingering sound card issue prevents me from doing so in time for the October deadline.

Still, I'd be happy to offer my services as a judge if you need me for the panel? It's time I started slowly re-intergrating my warped self back into this community, so lemme know if need judges.

Ahh a dark contest. I'm in, maybe this will get my creative juices flowing again. Gonna be my first track in 2 years so there's a lot of bundled frustration in there !
