It is time to set up a new One Hour Competition.

As with the last event, you are required to be in the chat, and it's a good idea to come 30 minutes before we start to clear out whatever questions you may have.

The rules will be explained 15 minutes before starting. And you will receive a package to work with 2 minutes before start time.

The time:
Friday, 7 August 2015, 20:00:00 (UTC)

Additional time zones:
CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME: 7 August 2015, 22:00:00 UTC+2 hours
New York (U.S.A. - New York): Friday, 7 August 2015, 16:00:00
San Francisco (U.S.A. - California): Friday, 7 August 2015, 13:00:00

or use something similar to calculate UTC to your timezone: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

Just to explain the flow / rules a bit on how the contest usually goes, I will present them as clear as I can:

=== RULES and FLOW ===

- If you have questions regarding the OHC, please join the chat room 30 minutes BEFORE the event starts
- to take part in this competition it is better to attend to the chat room about 15 minutes before the contests start (this gives time to explain the contest and the users can register themselves for taking part)
- to take part in the contest use the command "!register" to take part in the competition (this will also be explained in the chat itself)
- a link will be dropped in the chat room 2 minutes before the event starts
- any person who joins while the event has started can't register to the event
- when the event started you have 1 hour to be creative to create the song (based on the contents given in the chat room)
- the song itself may not be longer then 5 minutes in length.
- Once the hour is over you have 10 minutes to bounce the track, convert it to mp3 and upload it to some sharing service like https://instaud.io
(in case you have a slower computer that requires longer time to bounce a track you may need to start bouncing the track earlier!)
- you can submit your using a private message systems (instructions will follow by the "bot" arranging the event)
- after the 1 hour and 10 minute deadline has passed all submission after this will be ignored
- you can take a break after this before voting commences
- All contenders can then listen to all the other tracks that have been submitted and vote for the best track (just one vote, this isn't the eurosong contest)
- Make note, voting will be done anonymous since no one will know which track is made by whom, nor can people see who voted for what either
- After all votes are in, the "bot" will display the results

Last note:
sometimes the "bot" (Malstrom) will make a few announcements. Please read those instructions if there are any (for instance for registering / voting / submitting etc).

Final Last note:
remember, this is a competition to give the artists a creative outburst. It is all fun intended.

See you there!

Q. Does it matter which version of Reason you're using? (I'm on 7.1 and haven't updated since I also started using Ableton, Logic, and Protools etc whoop)

Nobody will check behind your shoulder, it's just fair play to really only use Reason (any version) :P

Great stuff once again. However, there seems to be an problem with the links. The same link has been posted for pLansford's and Kenni's entries. (https://instaud.io/a3x)

Thanks for correcting that link hydlide. It gave me a chance to listen to all the entries.

Anyway, I've just played through the lot again and the high quality of the submissions in such a short time frame still amazes me.

Personal favourite this week is Kenni's TheDarkside.

Excellent work once again everyone.
