Please take note of the following
- Please consult the official "Rules and Guidelines" for the Mix Challenge regarding principles of the game, recommendations and upload/submission guidelines
- IMPORTANT: please only provide WAV files, files need to be accessible/downloadable, try to work within suitable work levels (the focus of this game is "mixing", not mixing and finalizing), document your edits, name the files properly to distinguish your edit from all others.
- please use the following naming convention (Contestant Name = Forum Username):
- MC000_ArtistName_TrackName_ContestantName.wav
- MC000_ArtistName_TrackName_ContestantName_R2.wav for those that go into Mix Round 2
- Example: MC076__Suspicious_Flashlight__Same_REMIX__ForumUsername.wav
- please only upload to cloud storage spaces (DropBox, GoogleDrive, etc), not SoundCloud - and check that your material is downloadable
- It is highly encouraged to give feedback to each other, to share tips and tricks. Ideally, this should happen after Mix Round 1 has ended, to not influence each other during the main competition round
Please also take note of the following
- Our Song Pool has dried up! Future Mix Challenges are in jeopardy. We're looking for new source material for future competitions. Please follow our official campaign. Your only investment is time in turn for a free mix by our very talented participants. No new tracks mean no more challenges! Please reach out!
