Hello Everyone,

The Audiotool remix contest is undergoing a significant change starting today: instead of having seven rounds with separate deadlines, there will now be a single deadline on **August 20th. **

If you've already rushed to submit your entry, don't worry! Submitting early has its advantages:

*Tracks will be selected by EWC regardless of the contest to be played during the games at the event and used in marketing around the games. This is a great chance for your music to be showcased.

*Judges and partners will be reviewing submitted tracks continuously from today. If you've already submitted, you might receive feedback, and you'll have the opportunity to refine your entries until the final voting period starts on **August 20th. **

Good Luck!

Visit the new page to see all twenty contests ⮕ https://ewc.audiotool.com/

Things like this make me wish I actually had the drive to bother properly mixing
Yet another comp I'll completely avoid so I don't feel jealousy knowing my own lack of creativity and will to beat the DAW up so things sound nice to my ears is my downfall :C

just a question is it that every week we get to chose one of the games and make a song matching the game? or is it that we have to make all of them (a song that fits 3/4)
also what if i missed a week?

@bwkanimationslmao_gmail_com Each game is one contest. We want your interpretation of the anthem to the specific game.

Each contest in a group starts in parallel. So, you may need to pick one or you are fast. But hey, creativity sometimes works best when bending the rules. So, don't see it that strict. Do what inspires you. You define why your entry fits a game.

If you miss a week, no problem. Up to you how many contests you wanna join. No downside here. No points you gather along the way. Just your entries matter. Nevertheless, participating in more contests gives you of course better chances on grabbing some juicy prizes. ;)

@bwkanimationslmao_gmail_com Can you do that? Yes. Do what inspires you.

Nobody can predict what kind of songs may win at the end. Remixes often use an idea of a track or specific sounds or beat patterns but change everything around it. It's a very blurry line and no clear "right" or "wrong".

Make some cool tracks! ;)

2024-07-01 14:06 · 2024-07-01

Ok I have a question for everyone. Is anybody else having some issues loading up the samples in AudioTool, to perform a remix, or is it just me? Plus, so far, from what I can tell, when I play the Anthem track from the Esports Website, the BPM is not the same as when I've uploaded it in Audiotool. Also for some stupid reason my Drum Machine isn't working at all, like literally, at all...It's not my internet, because I have full signal.....I have reloaded this Anthem track trying a remix several, several times, and quite frankly, it's really upsetting.... I'm almost convinced now that this event is not for me. I'm also almost convinced that if your lucky enough to get the samples to load up in Audiotool, that the best thing to do is to download the Samples as Stems, and then upload them to another Producing Program or Platform.... Personally for me, I don't care about doing any remixes. I like creating my own material, my own sound, my own way, in my own time, with my own BPM. I was gonna at least give this remix a try, because I've dreamed about taking a trip to London for a longtime now.

So, I ask this again, IS ANYBODY ELSE HAVING ISSUES IN ANYWAY ON REMIXING THE ANTHEM TRACK? Or is it just me?

Snad Breugen · reply
2024-07-02 07:03 · 2024-07-02

Hey @solosoldier1200_gmail_com

I'll try to summarize this briefly:

*You're trying to upload samples into the Remix draft, and it's not working. What exactly happens?
*On the official EWC page, the track sounds slower or faster than in Audiotool. Is that what you mean?
*Your Drum Machine. Do you mean the Machiniste in your remix draft?

We'll definitely find a solution together so you can participate. A nice dirty Drum and Bass track is a must ;)

Btw: we offer the stems for download if we can't find a solution for this draft https://bit.ly/4ewIcaa.

To my friend Snadbrugen, yes once I upload the samples into the remix draft, it's for some reason not the same BPM as I'm hearing on the EWC page, plus the samples just keep saying "Loading". Also, Yes to your question on my Drum Machine, being the Machinist. For some reason my TR808 works, but not my Machinist. Luckily you somehow came to my rescue homie. I'm downloading the Stems as of right now friend. Your absolutely right too though. The Anthem track's BPM that I'm hearing from the EWC Page is perfect for a Drum and Bass Remix....I firmly believe that you have just saved my situation here. So, I personally owe a big humungous thanks for the links to download the stems. Hopefully now I won't have any issues. Fingers crossed. "Snadbrugen the Wizard". LOLOL I like it.....

Just in case my experience helps @solosoldier1200_gmail_com sometimes the studio can struggle with a TON of long samples. Any of the boosters help. The beta booster loads them WAY faster than the legacy booster btw!
Without the beta booster I've noticed than running every single sample can take a few minutes so I've decided to take out the stems I don't think I'll use.
In the draft that's on the contest page each sample is 87 even. If you upload it and set the loop to 87 bpm you'll have no problem with the tuning. You can also set it as a oneshot if you keep that bpm in mind for your project space

Thank you very much Naswalt my friend. You've also been a big help on answering some of my questions. I highly appreciate the input. Respect....and yes, I believe I will do the same, by taking out some of the stems or samples that I don't believe I will use. As far as the Booster goes, I haven't been using the Booster at all for all my projects. I had downloaded it a while back when I first started on Audiotool, and it must have gave me a corrupted file or something, but it did a number on my laptop, and I couldn't even open any of my projects up, so I uninstalled it. So far for me I've been getting along fine without it. That being said, I will keep everything you have mentioned in mind. Luckily, I'm very open minded about all these things.

2024-07-02 13:49 · 2024-07-02

Oh and yes you were so right Naswalt. The samples were WAY TOO LONG LOL..... The Samples I'm uploading to Audiotool are always less than 30 seconds long, so now I'm having to cut, and breakdown the Stems Snadbrugen sent me, which I'm in the midst of doing now so...Thanks again guys. Wish me luck. LOL...I doubt I'll win but hey now I have a fighting chance to give a try... Hopefully.....we shall see I guess.

There are 20 games at the EWC. Each of these games has a certain sound and mood. Your task is to make a track of this mood and if you find the stems in the draft helpfull you can use any part of them. We are currently in round one with four of these 20 games.

How do i export the stems? thanks!

2024-07-05 13:10 · 2024-07-05

My question now is when a new Contest Starts, will the Stems available for downloading change? Or is the Anthem Track Stems gonna be the same throughout all of the contests? I'm asking because, I have made a remix from the Anthem Stems available, but I'm waiting to enter the Rennsport Racing Game contest, considering I'm producing Drum and Bass. See, because, I know that Drum and Bass music is perfect for Fast Paced Racing Games.

Que · reply
2024-07-05 13:16 · 2024-07-05

The Stems will stay the same throughout the entire series. So, you can get started on multiple remixes for different games on the list.

2024-07-05 14:44 · 2024-07-05

We wanted to share a quick update with you all! We have decided to synchronize the deadlines for all our contests.

2024-07-28 06:59 · 2024-07-28

Ok I have a question....I had submitted a remix to 2 of the Games/Contests after all the changes were made with one single deadline. I recently made another remix that I believe is better than my 1st remix. Even though my 1st remix hit #5 on the AudioTool charts. Will my 2nd remix be recognized regardless of the contest or would I have to delete my 1st remix to go and submit my 2nd remix to a contest? I ask because I have reread everything above and I see that is says this specifically "Tracks will be selected by EWC regardless of the contest to be played during the games at the event and used in marketing around the games. This is a great chance for your music to be showcased." Plus,I see that is says this as well "You can participate by creating and publishing your remix in Audiotool or by downloading the stems to create your remix in any DAW, then uploading your stems into Audiotool and publishing from there as an open track for others to discover and remix." So should I just let things be?

DJ TeK-NjA · reply
2024-07-28 07:21 · 2024-07-28

Nevermind. I believe I understand what's up. I believe we aren't going by the original Boardpost, and now by the updated Boardpost, which say's again specifically "Tracks will be selected by EWC regardless of the contest to be played during the games at the event and used in marketing around the games. This is a great chance for your music to be showcased." Fingers crossed!!!! Hint hint, my 2nd remix I believe gets straight to the point and is jammin compared to my 1st remix which I had already submitted. I hope I'm right, for realz! Because whether I win or not, I was hoping to get that JAM Midi Guitar and whatever else comes with it. Of course, it's been longtime dream of mine to go to London. For realz. Considering I specialize in producing Drum and Bass. Which is where Drum and Bass originated from.

2024-08-05 19:47 · 2024-08-05

Does this have to be made in the audiotool studio app to count as a submission or can we use other DAWs? Just curious

Que · reply
2024-08-05 19:57 · 2024-08-05

You are free to use other DAWs. Download the stems of the original. Produce your track. And upload the track as stems to setup your tracks and entire production in Audiotool. Then publish your track and submit as usual on the contest pages of your choice.

Hello, on the different games, the status of the contest is voting completed and that winners will be announced soon. I have submitted my work the day of the deadline. Will my track still be reviewed by the judges? (I don't expect feedback on my track but it would be great if I could have some!)

2024-08-21 22:11 · 2024-08-21

Hey I'm wondering if it's possible to publish our tracks to streaming services like Spotify through something like distrokid, and how we can get proper permissions to do that. Thanks!

2024-08-22 02:29 · 2024-08-22

if the game accepted your track than it should be judged, I think it closed the evening of 10/20/24.

naswalt · reply
2024-08-28 10:08 · 2024-08-28

probably not. I'm not reading through the TOS on the contest, but the samples were likely cleared for use in the contest. unless they are royalty free, then you'd be publishing a song without cleared samples.
I doubt it would be a huge deal, but that's a classic risk if your song were to blow up!
