Dear winners, congratulations.

For the other entries that did not win the prizes, I can perhaps offer some comfort by informing you that more Oenkenstein Audio competitions will be held soon.

I would like to thank all the contestants for their wonderful work and also the members of the moderators team at Reasontalk, who were part of the jury.

I will PM the winners to ask for their Reasonstudios username and distribute the free licenses according to the prizes they have won.
To Quarmat the question whether a Private Message can be sent to me, stating the preference for which three Rack Extensions can be given a free license.

Thumbs up and keep up the good work and make fine music!

I hope to see some cool jazzy or house stuff. Good luck and have fun everybody

Awesome!
As someone who has really disliked the use-only-stock-effects rule in some competitions, these rules sound great to me.
I might give it a spin and see what happens.

Hi does this have to made in Reason or could you use ableton and reason rack plugin (and supply ableton file for compliance checks)?

No restrictions, so yes, you can use the Rack plugin version in Ableton. However, you must bounce separate tracks so there will be no problems when it comes down to validating the entries, as we can load them in Reason. An Ableton file would give problems. Not all judges own Ableton Live.

Hi That is great thank you. I could bounce individually no problem.

I guess I'll go first. Here's my entry. All sounds comes from Roads MK1 Electric Piano. No other instruments or samples.

That's beautiful, really like the element of suspense throughout.

Here is my entry.

Bass, Arps, chords, drone and virtually all sounds etc from Roads. Samples used for drums and vocals and a couple of little synth noises.

Thanks.
Initially I was going for more of a rhythmic/bluesy/jazzy feel, but once the reverb came on I scrapped my old idea completely and went with this instead.
Probably my least subtle use of reverb ever.

Thanks . I wanted to use Roads as much as possible so had lots of fun putting it throughdifferent fx (multipass, verbs, delays, synchronous),resampling and eqing the sounds i wanted. Really surprising how versatile it is with just the bass, hammer and warmth controls.

I just wish i could have separated the hammer noise and tried to make percussive sounds from it

Great tracks TritoneAddiction and Popey!

My entry is very jazzy.
I used Roads for the chords and the two lead sounds.

Thanks for the competition!

That's really cool, parts of it reminded me of a late 70's early 80's American tv theme tune but for the life of me cannot remember what it was called.

Thank you very much, Popey!

Here is my entry.

I took up the suggestion to compose a jazzy piece. One in the forum has wished for that. The electric piano plays a classical role, as we know it from jazz/rock music or fusion. There is an intro, a theme and then two short wild electric piano solos that support the jazzy character. The electric piano sound characterizes the whole piece.

I quite like the 70s feel.

that's a lot of fun. nice jazzy vibe.

A very nice danceable piece that comes with a modern freshness. The 4 to the floor beat mixed with the electric piano sound combines well with the samples and encourages you to dance. Very well done!
