You asked for a competition, here it is! At Acapellas4U we wanted to give our members a chance to participate in a competition that appeals to a variety of genres and allows members to be artistic & imaginative, thus the megamix competition was born. We are also happy to announce that the comp will be judged by the [b:3180szq7][/b:3180szq7]
What is a Megamix?
A megamix is a medley remix containing multiple songs in rapid succession. There may be only one verse or even just a brief chorus of each song used, sometimes in addition to samples of the same or other songs. To unify the songs together smoothly, there is often a single backing beat common throughout the megamix, though it is kept basic so as to simplify mixing and to not compete with the music.The Prizes
We have teamed up with [b:3180szq7][/b:3180szq7] to offer a great selection of prizes with a total value of $1000.* 1 lucky winner will receive a $500 gift voucher for the Midi-Store plus 100 bonus download credits.
* 2 runner-ups will each win a $250 Midi-Store voucher as well as 50 bonus download credits.
Things to consider in your Megamix
Creativity – We encourage you to use a variety of acapellas and tracks in your megamix. While listening and hear a range of samples being used originally.
Flow – Make sure all the elements in your megamix gel together. A solid megamix should contain an assortment of vocals and tunes but also a stay in key and have a consistent back beat to keep it all tied together.
Technique – How you place everything together is important. Use a variety of techniques to showcase your talent as an artist.
Entertainment value – Most importantly your megamix should be fun!The Rules
