Beat This! - March 15-16, 2017

[Fade]

The next competition will be from March 15-16th! See the information below.

Signups

The signups will be on March 15th at around 10am ET, and end around 8pm ET. Voting will be for 1 day, on March 16th, 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: ACOUSTIC GUITAR

• Your beat must have acoustic guitar in it!
• It must be one of the main instruments that you use.

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

From now on, the voting will be by all members! 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 favouritism when voting.

Sponsor

This month, the competition will be sponsored by Greg Savage & DIY Music Biz, where the winner will get 1 on 1 consultation from industry insider Greg Savage on music licensing.

Rules

I happened to have recorded a friend playing guitar just yesterday so it really is a good timing for this. Good luck to the other produces out there.

There were a lot of cool beats here. I have to say though some of them i couldn't really make out the acoustic guitar in them even though the beat was better than some others. My vote would have changed had I heard more acoustic guitar in some of these. Good work guys!

@Frontman Willy Agreed. Some were good but didn't have much guitar or none at all. I don't know why some people don't follow the theme.

@Fade @Frontman Willy ,you guys are absolutely right....out of 19 beats i only heard a handful that actually have acoustic guitar you can hear...shame,shame
