Winning Beat: Heart on the Harp
Website: http://www.shortwavesource.com
This beat was a favorite of the entire panel. Dude set an amazing mood with these sounds. Got extra creative with his reversed sample. Made all of the components fit together with excellent craftsmanship. Very nice transition to the guitar in the middle, and overall nice groove. Looking forward to hearing what he has to say when he is interviewed by HP on the Cypher Lounge!

Thanks guys! Glad you liked the music! Johnathan Newton put in a lot of work. I like his stuff.
Yo Carl, thank you very much for submitting. You did a sick job!
wow! I really impressed!
Good stuff from everyone. Congrats to the winners!
Think I shoulda won though lol, but nah congrats to everyone and biggups P5audio!
Congradulations,
I totally disagree with these winners. 3rd place should have been first place! I and I should have been 2nd place.. or something like that. I’ll be back to win next time!
respect to all
cut my comments?
ok
i just want to know what’s wrong with my beat…

It won’t let me listen to beats. I would love to hear them.
ural:
LP Here. I really liked your beat. It made my top 10. My objection to it was that I couldn’t hear the Harp or Guitar. Not sure if you processed them, but if they were in there I couldn’t tell. But, no doubt, it was a hot beat.
Yo Yokuzin: What kind of browser are you using to hear the beats
Rory: Post a link to your beat!
i use harp and guitar(((((
How many people entered?
I thought mine would have at least been runner up if not winner but hey, you guys are the pros!
Thanks guys….awsome judging! Wondering how to claim my prize…..didn’t recieve an email or anything….Thanks!
hey i checked out the winnners personally i really thought i was gonna win but its ok ima try better next time ay John keep doin what you doin bruh i just got 1 question did ya’ll at least like it??
The beats are sick no doubt these are some good to great beats. I know these beats are better than what I submitted. My only thing was after listening to them, I dont know if most of them would be considered RNB CLUB BANGA material. Definately beats I would listen to and chill too. I think Ural’s beat is defineatly a club banga type but you guys might be right on it missing the harp and guitar part but I really liked it too after listening to it. #3 and #1 are really good though.
The beats are sick. Congrats to all the winners. J Newt (that’s my producer name for you. LOL), hit me up if you ever wanna collab. Matter of fact, anyone hit me up if you ever need keys added to your crazy beats!!!!
Nice job guys!!!
Taylor,
Every beat we received was very good, and I really liked every beat (with the exception of maybe one or two). I can’t remember yours specifically. Can you post a link? I will say to you, and all entries for that matter, that these competitions are extremely difficult to judge. We get so many excellent submissions, and picking a winner is really just a matter of personal taste amongst 4 judges. Win or lose, the important thing is to keep trying. Just because some one wins one of these things, doesn’t mean that they are the best producer, they just rose to the this particular challenge, just like when my crappy Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the New Orleans Saints in the Saints own crib last year. Was TB a better team? Hell f’in no! They just rose to that challenge on that day, and the Saints of course went on to win the Superbowl (those bastards!). Trust me, if you keep entering these things, you are bound to win one, or at least place!
uralblack,
Your track was pretty sick (as in awesome). Definitely a banger. You were in everyone’s top ten. I can only speak for me personally, but I wanted to hear at least some organic element in there, showing the source of the sounds, and there was something up with the drum pattern on the turn around, where the other finalists I felt didn’t have any flaws (although, that is purely my subjective opinion). Regardless, what you did was really exceptional, and you are correct, we should have included your track at least as a finalist. With your skills, you are definitely bound to win one of these competitions. You have some insane talent!
Thanks all for the words (Carl, Marcus, etc). David is right about trying again and again. I’ve caught many a beat down when I knew I had serious heaters.
You are welcome J Newt!!! Or you can try New Js Productions. Except you have to wear Jordans all the time. LOL. Keep grinding!…
Fo sho, but no doubt Jonathan, you brought on this one! No denying it!
Any suggestions for my beat? It’s here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSSP_jFUYJc
Youtube messes up quality though
I don’t own a computer with internet. This one is an old version of explorer I think. Got a question. Was everyone that entered notified that their beat was recieved? If so, I guess mine never made it to you all. I will check the beats out somewhere, but here is my beat incase yall didn’t get it.
http://usershare.net/1c8wlsa0r805
Yes, I used only the sounds from the pack.
No problem Jon! Very understandable.
David,
What you think of my beat? Are we free to sell/license our beats and also use the sounds in other beats? Something to consider for future contests is providing each entrant with feedback, much like you are doing here. Lol. I know it’s hard for thousands of submissions, but think about it. Maybe some electronic form when you guys are judging. Keep the contests and sounds coming!!! Lol
Oh yeah, I used every single sound with the exception of using only one harp rex file and I didn’t use two of the guitar licks.

yokuzin

listen at least to 1:00
Hey Rory,
Thanks for the compliment you gave my track by stating you think I should have placed 1st! but jonathan’s track was very creative so i understand why he won, your track is nice as well. Congrats to 1st and 2nd place winners!
Jahlove,
Checking out your track now. I definitely remember this beat. You got a lot of hot stuff going on in there. Very good drum programming, really like the patterns you made out of the hard and keyboard parts, and that bass pad really site nice. Two things in my opinion take away from the track, 1) that guitar part sits a little weird harmonically. It clashes a bit. And 2) the bounce style hat that comes in doesn’t quite match the drum groove to my ears. But besides that, the track is really nice. Very good mixing on your part too. Fellas, what do you all think?
Rory,
I remember your beat as well. Definitely a very nice track. I really love the ideas you created out of these sounds for sure. My main thing with this track is that it sounded a little thin through out. I would of had the main hook part sound a bit more expansive. Maybe turn some of the sounds into a pad to give the track more scope?
Hey can i get some comments on my beats??????!!!!
Hey!
I just got back from Vegas and I’ve been waiting to see the winners. I’m glad you guys liked my beat! I enjoyed making it, and I just used my $50 to buy some loops that I can hardly wait to chop up as well!
Thanks again!!!
And on my too. is it good or bad?
Yo Collin,
Congrats on the placement. Excellent job! Hope you won in Vegas!
J.B and Beknown,
Tell me your track names and I will definitely get you some feedback.
