Epic Hop Challenge!

Welcome, everyone, to the Epic Hop Contest, a fun contest with PRIZES for all Soundation users. If you are confused by ‘epic hop’ it is an evolving all-inclusive genre of music focused on storytelling without traditional song and the hybrid use of genres. Why Epic Hop? 1. Epic Hop is a new genre created specifically and exclusively on Soundation. 2. Epic Hop is a challenging test of your creativity and your ability to bring genres, sounds, and themes together in new ways. 3. Epic Hop is an all-inclusive genre (you can draw from any themes, genres, and experimentation to make the best tracks you can). Info: You have until (January 7, 2015) to create your best Epic Hop track. I will pick my favorite tracks, but feedback from other users will play into the outcome of the contest. The final winner will be chosen by the following: creativity, composition, and general mixing and mastering. 1. Creativity: How different are the genres you used? Is the theme of the track creative and creatively executed? How creatively have you experimented with sounds, themes, and music genres? etc. 2. Composition: How well does your track evolve? How much work have you put into making new or original sounds? etc. 3. Mixing and Mastering: How well is your track mixed? How smooth is your track? How well is your track mastered? etc. Rules: 1. Criticism is allowed, but no putting anybody down! 2. Swearing is not banned, but please don’t overdo it or bully anyone in anyway with them. 3. No WIPs posted to this group please. 4. Please only post ONE FINAL track. 5. Creating your own sounds is EXTREMELY recommended. Please don't just drag and drop sounds for your entry. Does not matter if you use MIDI's or LOOPS here, but please put an effort into changing the original sound patterns in some way. You may use any studio, but preferably Soundation. 6. Tracks can be any length, but the recommended length is between 3 to 5 minutes. 7. Please only submit a NEW track made specifically for this contest. An old track that fits the description likely will not win. 8. Do not upload any copyrighted material that you do not own or do not have permission to use. Prizes: 1st Place – Any music t-shirt from my store (or any product from my store of your choice at equal or lesser value). Plus ONE PRODUCT from the Sound Shop. 2nd Place – 2 products from the Sound Shop. 3rd Place – 1 product from the Sound Shop. *Prizes provided by Cyprasonic (a.k.a) Doc Regals with the option of more added by other people or entities at a later date.

Summer Dance Contest

The Final 3 have been picked. But before I announce the winners I'd like to thank every single person that entered this year, as without you guys the contest wouldn't be possible. 1 - Summer Paradise by Phoenix - I love the tropical feel to your track, not something many users here can pull off nicely. Well done on first place, please contact me for your packs. 2 - Lavish by Ozcii - It's so interesting how you can incorporate your typical chill sounds into a banging house track. Super nice! Please contact me for your pack. 3 - Mind Games by Xplour - The melodies in Mind Games are so catchy, I had them in my head all day the first time I heard it. Plus the beat really gives off a summer-feeling vibe, big ups. Also congrats to NKM and Sam Pugh for reaching the final 5, see you guys next year. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Welcome, everybody, to the *third* Summer Dance contest, the only contest on Soundation to find the best artist of the so called subgenre 'Summer Dance'. To keep it simple, I'm going to allow the same 4 genres as last year, plus two: Summer Dance, Deep House, Progressive House, Future House, Indie/Melodic House and Tropical House. If you are confused by these genres here are some examples: Summer Dance ~ Alex Adair - Make Me Feel Better (Don Diablo & CID Remix) Deep House ~ Azealia Banks - Chasing Time (LiTek Remix) Progressive House ~ Martin Garrix - Forbidden Voices Future House ~ Spraynpray - Police Indie/Melodic House ~ Bolier & Natalie Peris - Forever And A Day (LVNDSCAPE Remix) Tropical House ~ Coldplay - Midnight (Kygo Remix) *Why Summer Dance?* Now that spring has arrived, the weather is starting to get better and soon when summer arrives the weather will be brilliant. So why not prepare for summer with the ultimate Summer Dance track? *Info:* You have until 29th May to create your best Summer Dance track. I will pick my five favourite tracks. I will then give you guys three weeks (19th June) to vote for your favourite track. Then there will only be three remaining tracks (until next year), first, second and third place. *Rules:* 1. Criticism is allowed, but no putting anybody down, no matter what! 2. Swearing is not banned, but please don't overdo it. 3. If you want to post a WIP, please delete it once you have posted the full track. 4. Please only post ONE track. If you decide to post more than one track none of them will be judged. 5. Creating your own MIDI notes is recommended. You can use samples, but leaving them unedited gives you less of a chance to win. You can use any studio. 6. Tracks can be any length, but the recommended length is between 2 minutes and 5 minutes. 7. Tracks have to be posted via Soundation, 'click the link' tracks won't be able to win, no matter how good they are. *Prizes:* *1st Place* - 3 soundpacks* of your choice, collab if wanted, shoutout on social media and bragging rights. *2nd Place* - 1 soundpack* of your choice, collab if wanted, shoutout on social media and bragging rights. *3rd Place* - Collab if wanted, shoutout on social media and bragging rights. *Maximum £5 per soundpack (e.g. the £4.50 soundpacks) - If a collab track gets 1st or 2nd one soundpack per person. Most importantly, have a blast :)
