===========
* VOCAL TRACK ALLOWED? This means you can have a full vocal track with your beat (acapella, for example).
** VOCAL SNIPPETS ALLOWED? This means you can have vocal snippets in your beat (very short vocal parts, for example). This is where you can also have an intro with talking (like from a movie).
===========

Voting

If you are competing, you will be able to vote but not for yourself. DO NOT TRY TO CHEAT! I will be watching for cheaters. This means you cannot sign up under different names or get your friends and family to sign up either. If you are caught cheating you could be banned.

Voting Criteria

You can use whatever sounds you want, samples, synths, just remember to read the rules for the rest of the restrictions. What the judges will be looking for is originality, creativity, mixing skills and overall dopeness!

Beats

All the beats will now be displayed in a random order and without any names. All you will see is: Beat #001, Beat #002, etc. This is so that there is no favoritism when voting.

Rules

If you're not sure about the rules, read this thread.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions about the competition, please post them in here.

Some nice beats and nice ideas in there. Some could really do with a better mix.

It's been a long process, but it starts to stand out to me now (even listening back to some of my mixes - particularly older ones), you can just hear oh this mix is out of control, or xyz is too loud, abc could really do with being better contained, the mix needs more glue.

I like these moments, because sometimes (often), in music it's hard to notice yourself improving. But when you hit moments like this you realise, actually, somewhere somehow I've 'levelled up' to be noticing and hearing these things.

Always watch out for those moments yourself, they can be good little indicators that you're moving in the right direction.

Good luck to everyone, gonna have a second listen through before deciding my vote.

@Iron Keys or @Fade , what feedback do you have for Keep Looking?

This was one of my favorite 2 beats in the battle (excluding my own).

I reaaally love the main hook bassline. It's so ideal to me in terms of vibes. It has a real 'feel' to it. I was just disappointed that it wasn't made the main and persisting melodic element throughout the beat. I could fuck with a whole 2 minutes of that.

That's my only real 'fault' with the beat if you can even call that a fault. I just wanted more of the bit I loved!

Dope work, brother!
