It only makes sense.
Oh, and I think I've got the title too the song i think, but haven't quite figured the Genre. This is also of course if you are allowed to present a work in progress to help you better the song, since I've submitted an earlier draft (But that has been deleted). If not, then i've gots more work ahead of me....

I'm happy for you to submit drafts. I will also be willing to look at the mark scheme and say where you need to improve. Of course, I'm only one of about 10 Judges, so take into account that I'm not the only one judging. I'll just mark it how I would if you submitted it as a piece to the contest.
I won't give marks or scores but simply say where you need to look to gain more points.

Hey, just asking, since this is supposed to be all original work, does that mean I can't sample for my backing track? I have no problem giving credit where it's due, but I know that a lot of the other contestants will be using programs like FL where they create everything from scratch. So for the sake of fairness, does that mean I can't sample? Or should everyone else just consider doing so?

Unfortunately you will have to make your own backing track. If you can find another artist to make a backing track for you I'd be happy to submit your entry as a collaberation. Which is allowed for this contest.

Pich, you are confirmed for San Marino. Please make sure you remember to submit the track. I don't mean to be assumative, but when We've had people not submit stuff, they've had a low post count, please make sure yo uare certain that you will submit a track.

Well I'd certainly hope you weren't the only judge, that wouldn't be fair both for you and us. Not only would it only provide a single view point on the songs, you'd be the only person people could whine to about the scores lol

Can I make a song called corruption or government? It is not offensive, just with a strong meaning, does not contain any words.

This is a very ambient Dnb song. Call it Intellengent or liquid.

This song represents our freedom from slavery.
Where one of the first countries to free ourselfs.
We where taken away from Africa and where brought to Haiti to work. Also in this song i represent our beutifull nature and trees. Where also known for our black magic hence the very atmospheric sounds.

NOTE:
Not all Haitians use black magic those who do claim are hoax! (Plus even i dont believe in it!)

After a few minutes of deep thought, I decided I would do a 2-3 parter involving the liberation of scotland in the 1200's. Doesn't matter if I can submit them all or not, it would just be an extremely fun project to do.

Wahey, you're accepted too!

If everyone manages to hand in a track on time, we will have 24 acts the the final broadcast. My goal for this time was 20!
If you want me to look through your pieces before the deadline and give you pointers on how to get better scores send me a link to your track via PM. I will only be able to give you feedback twice and me giving you that feedback may not guarantee you perfects scores from all judges.

Come on guys, lets make this the best RAC contest yet!
