May Contest: Submission2009-05-01T09:39:42+00:00 3/4
This month's theme isn't particularly interesting or ambitious, but it will ask you to do something I don't hear here too much. Your composition will have to make use of a 3/4 time signature. Aceptable subsitutes would be 6/8 and 12/8.
You may use any musical genre.
Submissions MUST follow these rules:
1 - encoded in either .mp3 (192kbps or lower if fixed rate ... average of 192kbps or lower if VBR) or .ogg format (quality level 6.00 or lower)
2 - A STRICT MAXIMUM of three MINUTES in length. If it shows up as 3:01 in my player, then I'll allow it for reasons of rounding in different players. But you shouldn't take that chance! Any longer gets a DISQUALIFICATION. That said, if a submitted track is over length, all contestants should feel free to mock the offending entrant mercilessly into getting permission to enter a new version of correct length.
3 - entered into the contest by posting a DIRECT LINK in this RULES & SUBMISSIONS thread (use the GOSSIP thread for everything else). If you cant provide a direct link, please contact one of the following people listed below, they will be happy to help you out. These people provide free hosting for the purpose of this contest only!

4 - Submitted before 11:59 PM Sunday, May 24th, 2009
5 - Your entry must be composed specifically for this contest
6 - Your entry must be created using at least some audio plugins, virtual synths, or software studio
7 - your entry should have the FILE named in a format of "yearmonth_artistname_tracktitle" (ie "0905_artistname_tracktitle.mp3"), where the artistname is the same as your KVR name. Please, do not use spaces and special charaters in the filename. I will be booting for improperly tagged comps (this will not be a DQ, just a little reminder that you din't tag your comp correctly). Special considerations will be given to those that have the hosting agent change the tag.
8 - IF you are going to tag your mp3, the artist name is to be the same as your KVR name, and the title tag is to be the name of your tune(help us out, okay? it's easier to sift through labelled entries)
9 - One person can participate either with one entry, with one entry and one collaborative effort or with two collaborative efforts.' - no resubmissions without permission from the moderator, INCLUDING for time-overage correction. PM me for permission!
10 - Any tracks not adhering to these guidelines will be very naughty indeed. Possibly disqualified upon peer review. And at least mocked for all to point and giggle.
11 - Voting (members must have at least 20 posts to vote ... although contest entrants are exempt from this ruling) will run from the submission deadline until 11:59 PM Sunday, May 31st - anyone voting for themselves will find ALL their votes disqualified - any entrants not voting will also be
disqualified
