Flash Beat Contest Xmas Edition!!!
7 Day Beat Competition : Produce a beat (any genre) using elements from the Xmas Song “Carol of the Bells” provided.
The Challenge: Using any sounds you want, plus elements from our Xmas zip below create an Instrumental Beat. The xmas zip that we are providing contains a stereo mix of “Carol of the Bells” plus the separated bells and the separated strings. We don’t want to hear “Carol of the Bells” with a drum beat under it… we want chops, flips, fx, and all of the magic that you music producers can make! The beat can be Hip Hop, Pop, Electro, Rnb, Rock, or anything else! Just make sure that one of the main elements is something from the Xmas zip!
Our favorite track will win:
- $100 in FREE P5Audio Sounds!
