Judgment System

You’ll be only provided the MIDIs and/or Wavs of the Original Composition and is up to you, use completely, partially or none of the parts supplied to you in your remix, and given the case you need to hear the original for reference, go to http://www.myspace.com/paulodermunoz and stream the romance promo from the player, so having that in mind:

Overall Sound: You don’t have to be an engineer (if you are, you have more advantage) to make it sound decent. Judges will look for clarity in the song, clipping, humming, excess of high frequencies, drowning, etc. All of these sorts of issues will be taken under consideration.

Melody: How the remixer interprets the main melody and new melodies implemented, if they are harmonious or not etc.

Arrangement: Structure of the track, if they are Dj friendly or not, if it flows, if it lacks of drive etc.

Originality: I think this is not necessary to explain as we all know what this category covers.

Prizes

$100 for the winner, plus getting the remix released by Istmo Music alongside the original in digital and potentially in CD form. Plus winners will be considered for future remixes and releases. No further royalties will be paid to the remixers.
Prizes are a responsibility of Istmo Music.
