• Judging will happen in the week following the closing of the competition.
• Use any or all of the parts from the sample packs.
• There are no specific things we will be judging on, your track will be judged on its overall merits.  Make it your own.

That's interesting... I'm not declaring myself... just showing interest at this point.

Sounds like a fine song.  Is the example track somewhat like your final version ?

A note to potential entrants:  I've been trying some remixing lately, and I find I've been learning LOADS about music and techie tricks along the way. 

Nothing lost, even if the result turns out horrid.   ...well, you might have to make some apologies to Jez and Rainy.

Cheers Val!  You should have a crack mate!  We haven't got enough female producers on here and I reckon you would make a cool take of it!  Certainly different to what we have which would be cool!  So I am personally inviting you to give it a go.  So ladies you need to step up too!

Jez is ok with just giving out CDs to the winners but I reckon we could sort something better out for the best of the best!

No apologies needed, just have a crack!

Hey well done guys!

I tell you what the overall winner can have a VIP account paid for by me, how's that?  So those who haven't got one (why not?), win this and get one for free for a year!  Those of us who are already really important, have some more slots!  Always useful eh?

Good luck people!  Again, make the track your own!  Impress me!
