:agree:
This n-Track Recording Contest link also holds the list of prizes and a link to the n-Track Recording Contest pages on SoundClick.

Cool.

Can my tunes always be the top two please :laugh:

lol - I’ll probly rotate them. (Is payola allowed on the internet? wink, wink.)

That does remind me of a question I had for everyone - downloads from the contest site. I will set for stream only for now? Some folks freely allow downloads - others don’t. So maybe let me know if you want your song available for download or not.
:agree:

Have you investigated the copyright ramifications of accepting cover songs? Seems to me most contests of this sort don’t accept cover songs for fear of infringing copyright.

Yes I have Bill - It is the obligation of the creator to obtain a license from the publisher. I personally have NEVER received a reply from any publisher I have requested a cover license from. They probably end up in the corner along with the unsolicited material they get by the ton. That being said it’s still an evolving issue. Since we don’t plan on allowing downloads for our “Cover Songs” category I feel we’re in good standing. There is no rate for streaming that I’m aware of.

Nevertheless here is SoundClick’s policy on Cover Songs. SoundClick Policy on Cover Songs.

Then there’s always “fair use” issues. Even the U.S. Copyright Office is not clear on all this . "Fair Use"
I’m really not worried about it.

I don’t mind folks downloading my songs.

If the contest is decided by how many times someone listens to your song over the internet, allowing it to be downloaded might hurt your chances of winning.

For downloading (i don’t mind either, personally) maybe it would be good to not allow downloads from the contest site, but then each contestant can individually post their material on their own site and allow downloads as they see fit.
That was my plan, anyway.

workin’ on one right now…

You’re right Kevin.
I retract the statement in my last post!!

JDET…People don’t seem to be posting much stuff lately…perhaps they’re all busy writing like you!
Ooohhh the pressure!! I can’t write…AAAAaarrrgghhhh
??? …but I neeed that mic soooo bad…!

Hey Poppa W?

The contest page you linked to looks good except for one little quirk. The top text is gray but has a black exclamation mark. It’s no big deal but does look a bit odd…

D

PS It may just be my browser… but I thought I’d point it out.

Picky picky picky - sheesh… next thing you know you’ll want world peace…

That page is Flavio’s Dept. Click Here to send him a note.

Nooo… I don’t think that link hooks up to the Flav-meister… :whistle:

PS World Peace would be nice. Jump right on that wouldja…?

So how many votes per person/member? I was involved with a song contest at famecast, and the voters had to be registered members. How is this contest ??? to work? Will a person have to be a member of soundclick?

I hope not!
I was counting on family, friends and paid strangers!! :laugh:

I supposse there has to be a way of stopping voters voting more than once tho…

No membership to anything required…

You are requested to register here though.

If anyone has not yet registered for the n-Track Mailing list, and has entered a song - please do so now - Flavio would appreciate it! And I won’t have to ask him if the winner registered.

:peace:

Tis ok Poppa, I did! :whistle:

No, really, I want you all to unregister so I can win.

Well Tom ,most of us don’t have 200 frikken tunes already posted on SC. You could flood the contest and win hands down! Just from shear numbers alone! :laugh:

Yaz :cool:

Got the latest issue of EQ magazine earlier this week, and a review of MixSaturator2 was included in an article on tape simulation software:

“It’s hard to beat PSP’s MixPack2. I could even see these plugins being used by adventurous mastering engineers…”
