Music Remix Contest - Song Production Mixing and Mastering Engineering

The Continuum Music Studio's First Ever Remix/Mixing/Mastering Contest

There are many companies who offer one of two kinds of contests these days: The Remix Contest and The Mixing Contest. We feel that those contests can be limited to the amount of musicians, artists, producers, and engineers who enter because of one simple fact: Not all mixing engineers are remixers, and not all musicians are mastering engineers. So we thought, why do ONE contest when we can do SEVERAL together to give EVERYONE in ALL GENRES a great opportunity to have some fun, learn new skills, be eligible to win awesome prizes and get their music to be heard on bigger channels! Though this may not be a "revolution" to the world of contests for music producers we feel like it is something that has never been done before until now! How cool is that!? But wait, there is more....

The Briefing
