Content Judgment
  • Remix Composition (40%)
    • How well does the mix represent the selected songs? Your selected tunes should be presented enough to make a strong impression in the mix.
    • Does the composition stand alone as a song? The finished product should have a solid structure all to its self.
    • Does the song have a fluid sense of motion? The composition should not be choppy. It should glide from riff to riff and song to song smoothly.
    • Remix should not be a stumbling repeat of the original song, be sure to control the flow of the remix so it does not get boring or repetitive.

  • Creative Outlook (40%)
    • How well are the individual songs remixed?
    • What innovation has the composer utilized to make the composition stand out? Try to take a radical approach to an old song and give it new life.
    • Your remix should have a definitive feel to it, signature of yourself. Try to put an artistic flair to the song that gives it a unique sound. Your personal contribution to the tune’s overall sound will give it a mark that will distinguish your work from everyone else’s.

  • Professional Stance (20%)
    • The quality of the mix should be crisp and complete.
    • Sampling should be clean and of high quality.
    • The composition should be of a strong caliber. Take pride in your song and make sure every inch of it is clean, the levels optimal, and the mix complete. There should be a definitive beginning and end.

Scores for each of these sections from each judge will be on each songs Chronology/Comments page.
