Interesting ! can i sample music or do i have to use only one sample ? IE: make a tune out of a snare drum sample (that would be awesome) or it doesnt matter?

ya. the point is to be creative with sampling. So one sample. What ever you want it to be. COuld be a kick drum or a loop. And under a minute.

anyone know what shipping to europe would cost ? If it is under 50 I suppose i don't mind if euros have a go.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Good job.

no criminal check either

And if 10 people submit work , I will give out 2. So odds are pretty good. No i don't work at mac, my boss/colleague gets all kinds of freebies and sends them my way when he doesn't want them. I have 2 apogee duets but I sold them but Ebay is so damn stressful that maybe I will just have contests for this stuff. I hate being lowballed. Unless it is a reach around.

I think the next big one will be a substantial prize of around 1000 and similar to the last but maybe more organized. My girlfriend will be in europe so I will have some free time and I will be out of work for 1 month when I do my yearly visit to canada so I don't get arrested.

So one sample, and granular synthesis is an option? Sure, why not.

Not having to make an actual track is much also, trance artists need to stop thinking about melody and harmony so much and start using their samplers in a more interesting way. ok tell you what , to make it a little more interesting, only aloud to use 1 sample. Everything has to be some sort of sample trickery with that one sample and the prize is brand new ie still shrink wrapped with full warranty so it is worth about 500$.

Totally agree with all that. Trance got boring when the sampling got stale.

I'm going to try and actually finish this one this time, there were some great entries in the last one.

I think it would be neat if the original sample was posted so we could see how the producer transformed it.

I'll give it a go!
