PRIZES! 1st Place: A copy of Cubase 4 or FL Studio Pro. 2nd - 3rd Place: 50 AP Everybody Else: Cruel Mockery The reason that I'm not giving out more prizes is because I am running this contest out of my own pocket, and I don't have stacks of cash lying around at the moment. JUDGING The contest will be judged by the AG moderators (except for those who are participating). We are happy to except users to our judging panel, but there are a few requirements: - Impartiality to music genre - Impartiality to user - Knowledge of music - Good member - Not entered in the contest The deadline for judging signups is also going to be the 10th. Have fun guys!

Posted Sep 29, '08 at 6:36pm crimsonblade55 4,096 posts	well actually (enter generic sorry for double post message here)but I worded that kind of poorly.I am currently holding one music related contest,and am trying to start up another one,but have had no success so far.

I may not be able to help that much though as I am helping judge the review contest.

Posted Sep 30, '08 at 12:14am ubertuna 2,055 posts Moderator	Yes. Both digital and instrumental music are accepted.

Are these also judged according to their sound quality independently of their musical attributes (like, whether they happen to sound like they're professionally mastered versus only having access to rudimentary equipment to record the sound)?

Posted Sep 30, '08 at 2:20pm ubertuna 2,055 posts Moderator	This contest is going to be focused on skill in songmaking, rather than quality of sound. This is mainly because there aren't that many professional musicians on AG with access to high quality recording devices and software. The whole point of the contest is to make some of this equipment available to aspiring artists. Also, I am going to add this to the list of choices for the first place prize.

Posted Sep 30, '08 at 5:19pm crimsonblade55 4,096 posts	Wow I don't know where you are getting the money for all of this,but that's nice.Anyways I want to see if you would let me be a judge.I would like to know since I need to set everything up.Also I'm glad you are letting the judging be for a whole week,b/c I am quite busy at times,especially now that I'm on my schools robotics team.Anyways my offer of judging for this contest still stands,and if needed my dad has been a drummer for over 25 years and my mom a pianist for....I think since she was a kid,but if I need to I can have them share some opinions and do my judging accordingly.

Posted Sep 30, '08 at 6:04pm ubertuna 2,055 posts Moderator	Just to clarify, the first prize isn't FL Studio Pro, Cubase 4, AND the mic. The winner gets to pick which one of those three items they want. Also, if you have access to a resource such as your parents, feel free to ask them about some of the components of good music when you're reviewing the submissions.
