Christmas contest

Christmas is finally over!

Thank you for all your submissions! Excuse the delayed announcement. Unfortunately, there were a lot of songs that weren’t made using Soundation or couldn’t be verified so some of the runner-ups were disqualified.

Congratulations to the winners, expect a magic upgrade and a DM.


Winners

1st place

Hyphen was a bit OP in this contest, he’s had his share of features and it’s surprising he’s still squeezing things out on a free account. It’s time bro. Very smooth production and a nice play on the jingle bells melody.

 
2nd place

Hard trap beat with some Xmas elements in it, the mix is a bit off and it could need some more dynamics and switch-ups, but all in all, well played.

 
3rd place

Very well-arranged and full-bodied production. It would have landed second place if it had some Christmas in it. Mix tip: tune your compression wisely, dial it back a little bit and don’t go ham on it all the way through – the end result will sound a lot more professional.

 

 
Thanks Moon for putting this together!

I am glad I didn't participate, it just wasn't my thing and I figure I am not likely to win even if I do so I'll just participate if I like the challenge

losing in this contest is like watching a Dallas Cowboys game every single week hoping you're gonna win but then you're severely disappointed when the final results come in. Most of the time I expect it though, (cause I suck at music)

That my friend is called plagiarism.

Except somehow you have some inconsistencies through misspelled words such as "welocome", "secod", "cgord", "an", "ang", "whit", and "mada", as well as dropping a comma, period, and an entire word "with".

@Arbor

I wouldn't necessarily forbid premade loops, but they would generally have to be used wisely and typically altered, and also used in conjunction with the use of instrument clips.

welocome to soundation first of all, dont use the premade loops. secod, there´s something called song structure you have cgord lead,melody, bass, an a beat (optional). third, i recomended you use the gm-2 first and test out the instruments ang get familiar whit them for the va and fm synth, use the already mada preset and experiment them :) by elian
