Get your samplers ready, it’s time for another sample remix contest!
If you have previously participated in one of these contests you know the drill: Compose a track using the samples included in the download only, for a chance to win some great prizes.
You may process the samples any way you like, as long as you don’t use any additional instruments, samples, recordings, or other sound sources.
The download includes a total of 115 samples (24bit/44kHz WAV), including sounds contributed by Horatiu-Cristian Petrila of 3ee Sound Design.
The samples are basically all one-shot sounds, no loops this time. They are also deliberately without key information, the idea being that you explore the sounds and be inspired by what you find, rather than connecting the dots in a construction kit style approach.
Sample Remix Pack Download size: 57.4 MB
The deadline for submitting your entry is April 7th, 2013, 11:59pm CET.
So what can you win?
Our friends at Time+Space have generously donated a wonderful selection of prizes from its partners, a value of well over $2,000 USD in total!
Time+Space Sample Remix Contest prizes
The top 3 winners will be voted for by participating contestants. The 4th prize will be awarded to a random entry from the contestants that did not end up in the top 3, so everyone who submits a track has a chance of winning one of the prizes below.
