Reposting Contest info

Ok all, sounds like we have enough interest to make this worth doing, so here's all the details and guidelines: - All songs must be entirely composed using a Command Station only (or P2500 for Steve), you may use a midi keyboard for note entry if you want to though. NO computer sequencing, arps from external gear, or Karma functions allowed. Only two tracks from each participant will be allowed. - All songs must be 32 measures in TOTAL length (plus any reverb/delay tails), at a reasonable tempo (ie 65 - whatever BPM). If you really need a tempo lower than this and have a good reason why, email me privately to discuss. No half-tempo or time signature tricks (ie 2/4) to make that 32 measures seem longer. :) - You are responsible for the hosting of your song, so doing an anonynmous contest is not possible. I've been looking into trying to get a single site to host these on, but haven't had much luck finding something that would be easy for everyone to upload to (and I don't have the time to manage it anyway). Hopefully depending on the number of entries and file sizes, we will also be able to host these in the files section of our yahoogroup, but Yahoo's bandwidth limitations on file downloads will prohibit us from using this as our primary storage space. All MP3's should be encoded at 192kbps or less please. - All songs will due on Friday, September 24th. That gives you all PLENTY of time to submit something, and I do hope a lot of people participate. This is all just for fun, so there's no reason to be bashful if you're just getting started. If nothing else, it's a great way to get feedback and ideas from others on things to improve on. So you're really doing yourself a disservice by not participating. ;p - Voting will be via a standard Yahoo groups poll, with each voter picking the best track to vote for. In the event of a tie, the songwriters in question will have 1 week to make changes to their songs, and then we'll have another vote off for just those two (or more) tracks. If people want to add alternate categories for this contest, you're free to set up polls on your own, I just don't want to manage this. - Once your track is completed, send me an email with the address where people can download it, your name (email and real), and the song title. That's it, if I'm forgetting anything, let me know! Have fun and get to work, it's only 32 measures, so make 'em count! rEalm The information transmitted is intended only for the person(s)or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or legally privileged material.
