UT's Audio Contest!
Hey there! This is the official thread for my unofficial audio contest! This is where you can find information about the contest, sign up, and post your songs. Let's go over the contest rules:

RULES AND REGULATIONS
- Your song must be original (no remixes)
- Lyrics are allowed, but nothing inappropriate
- Songs must be 1:30 or longer
- NO STOLEN MUSIC if you plagiarize, will will find you >
- Your music must be written for this contest, no using already completed songs.
- There are no restrictions on genre or method of creation

DEADLINES
- The deadline for signing up is Friday, October 10th
- The deadline for submissions is Friday, October 24th
- Judging will take place from October 25th to October 30th

Results will be announced on October 31st

SIGNING UP
To sign up, just make a post in this forum saying that you want to enter the contest.

SUBMITTING
After you have completed your song, submit it's mp3 file to [url]http://www.zshare.net/[/url]. Leave the link to your submission and your song name on this page. As stated before, the deadline for submissions is Friday, October 24th, so don't be late!

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!

Ok, to get something clear: SONGS MUST BE IN MP3 FORMAT!

.??? to .mp3 conversion:

Step 1: Export the song from your program as a .aif or a .wav or whatever audio format your computer uses. DO NOT EXPORT AS MIDI >

Step 2: Right click on the song file and select itunes to open instead of quicktime or windows media.

Step 3: Select your song in iTunes.

Step 4: Go to advanced options and select "Make mp3 Version."

Step 5: Upload the mp3 version to Zshare.

Step 6: Post the song link, not the download link, in this thread.

If that's the case you're going to have to get a mic and record it as it plays "live" out of your program. You can use your computer's internal mic or you can rent a professional mic if your comp doesn't have one.

Well I will try to submit something if I can,but if you can't get enough people then you can always move the date back.If you do that for the last day of submissions then I would more likely be able to get something in,but as of right now I have to juggle robotics school,sketch-up,AG,3DS MAX,and tons of other stuff and so I don't know if I will be able to get it done in time,and if I do then it will be very short.
