Let’s make some music!

**Winners Announced**

This contest might be a little different from the usual contests. I have put together two “starter” packs. One is some Epic Strings and the other is some Epic Drums. Both are the beginnings of unique cinematic tracks. The goal is to take these cinematic elements and infuse them with other genres of music. Any genre you want 😀

I guess it is more of a collaboration than a remix. These songs are not finished. That’s where you come in. The packs contain a mix down and separated stems for each.

There will be a total of 4 winners which will be determined by myself and some fellow producers.

Rules:

Any Genre – A couple surprise guest judges and I will will pick the winners

– A couple surprise guest judges and I will will pick the winners Must use a recognizable amount of the stems from one pack and/or the other

Each producer can enter one track for each pack (2 tracks total if you wish to do both packs)
