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!

There's more judges than contestants...is that a good thing?

Also, good luck to everyone participating

that's right, there's two parts. one is an acoustic guitar and the other is an electric. Do you not like the name? I just decided that it would be a cool name, and it's what the song sounds like to me.

Crap, since I don't have the minimum bit rate, I can't get the mp3 version the way you have told us. Is there any other way to do this? I also thought of just taking a video with CamStudio, but I can't get it to record sound. Anyone familiar with it?

Ok, there seem to be some people that can't get their songs to export correctly. *looks at Estel* For anybody that is having trouble getting their songs to export, there are two things you can do. You can try to figure out what's wrong and fix it, or you can borrow a mic from a friend or rent one from a store, then record your song live as it plays out of your computer. If neither of these work, email me and I'll help you fix your problem.

Hmm, the link for your submission isn't working Lige. Maybe it's a problem with Zshare. Would you mind emailing it to me?

Does the audio have be something we have done or a mixture of sounds with effects?

You have to write it, and you have to create it. You are aloud to incorporate sound effects into your submission, as long as there is still composition. This is a fantastic example of a song using FX.
