Top 5 Runner Ups Win:
Voxengo Elephant Brickwall Limiter




I've been hearing great things about the new Voxengo Elephant brickwall limiter and I'm excited to hear what it can do. So hopefully the top 5 runner ups will be kind of enough to give us a review.

Rules

1. Don't do anything illegal!
2. Cover songs and parodies of cover songs are acceptable. You will be posting this music online and therefore you are responsible for the songs you post.
3. Feel free to submit Halloween songs that you have previously recorded. (who does that? )
4. Instrumentals are completely acceptable.
5. In the spirit of complete artistic freedom, you are free to use any language you feel is necessary to achieve your creative vision. However, if your song is going to offend folks, in the title please add a "Rated R" to it so that the people who won't to hear your #%^@ words can move to the next song.

How To Enter
You enter the same way that you add a song to Recording Reviews. Instructions for uploading and Guidelines for song uploading can be found here: No Myspace! It sounds too crappy!

The only difference between this and Recording Reviews is you must put your Halloween Songs in the Halloween Songs Contest category and not the Recording Reviews category.

How To Vote
See the screenshot below. In the upper right hand corner of each thread, there is some text that says "Rate Thread". Click it to give your vote!


What Are We Voting For?
When you are listening to a song/recording in the Halloween Song Contest, you are voting for how pleasing the song was to the ear. In other words, if you loved it, it should get the highest rating. If you hated it, it should get the lowest rating.

How does recording quality fit?
It fits EXACTLY like it does in real life! If the recording quality sucks, but you LOVED listening to the song, it should get the highest rating. If the recording quality sucks and this is a distraction that makes the song not fun to listen to, give it crappy score.

How To Win
The Song / Thread with the highest rating and more than 5 votes will be the winner.

It's strongly recommended that you tell all your buddies about your song and get them to vote for you. Winner take all!!

Contest Ends
The winner will be selected on 11:59pm on Halloween Eve Central time.. At that point, I will freeze all voting and send out a Newsletter announcing the winner.

Questions
If you have any questions, don't be shy about sending me a Private Message or asking on this thread.

Thanks - looks fun!

The contest is a democracy. You have full freedom to do whatever you want in terms of genre, song length, creativity, etc.

The only rule is it must be about Halloween. If the song is about the Easter bunny and his head doesn't get cut off by a crazed pumpkin or whatever than I'll remove it. (Obviously, that's not the ONLY topic allowed....maybe it should be??).

Ultimately, the winner will be chosen by your peers so go with whatever your gut says in regard to length.
