Beat This! - August 1-2, 2018

[Fade]

The next competition will be from August 1-2! See the information below.

Signups

The signups will be on August 1st at 10am ET, and end around 8pm ET, or until we have 20 contestants (whichever comes first - depending on the theme). Voting will be for 1 day, on August 2nd, where the results will be posted the same day.

Go here to signup (click the "signup" tab - it will open up on the signup day)

Theme: REGGAE

Time Limit: 2 minutes

• Your beat MUST have a REGGAE vibe!

You can use whatever sounds you want, samples, synths, just remember to read the rules for the rest of the restrictions. What the judges will be looking for is originality, creativity, mixing skills and overall dopeness!

Voting

If you are competing, you will be able to vote but not for yourself. DO NOT TRY TO CHEAT! I will be watching for cheaters. This means you cannot sign up under different names or get your friends and family to sign up either. If you are caught cheating you could be banned (depending on the mood I'm in).

Beats

All the beats will now be displayed in a random order and without any names. All you will see is: Beat #001, Beat #002, etc. This is so that there is no favoritism when voting.

Rules

If you're not sure about the rules, read this thread.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions about the competition, please post them in here.

If someone can make a beat using the jamaican scene from Half Baked where he says "right near the beach" they should get extra points.

What a nice Theme!

 

[44Beatzz]

Is dancehall also allowed? Or only roots reggae?

Well, it's usually just a Reggae "vibe", not an actual Regga track, but I don't think anyone will get picky about Reggae vs Dancehall!

 

[crosstevsky]

I'm also ready now...

 

[Fade]

I predict 80 contestants!
