So no restrictions on external FX ? I can put anything on the track as long as the first plugin is synthmaster ?

I never participate in a contest where popularity is involved. No matter how good your track is, if one of the contestants already has 20 million followers, you’re f#cked. To my own view, 40% of the final points are unfair to me.
Everytime I’ve seen a contest where the judges do not have the final word, the winners seem mediocre to me when compared to some other songs. Yes, popularity, followers... Some already have their base fans, some are newcomers...
But though, I totally understand Synthmaster’s team goal.
Happy contest everybody !

Please don’t read the above post. It’s a stupid one. Simply pass.

please help.
You will get a much faster response if you enter such problems on our website and send them to us from costumer support.
Please delete Documents / SynthmasterPlayer /Config / SynthMasterPlayerConfig file first. Re-install SynthMasterPlayer again and be sure none of your DAWs are open when you are installing it. Try to download your license key file at https://synthmaster.com/userarea.aspx and please copy that file to Documents/SynthMasterPlayer folder. And rescan your VSTs with your DAW again. Also be sure your SynthMasterPlayer Dll is same folder with your other VSTs.
If this method does not resolve the issue, please contact me at https://synthmaster.com/contactus.aspx.
All the best

As long as the track sounds good, we as judges take the number SynthMaster tracks into consideration when voting -> higher number of SynthMaster instances -> higher points.VELLTONE MUSIC wrote: ↑Wed Oct 27, 2021 11:21 am What about track made entirely with Synthmaster - how many bonus points :):)
