Frequently Asked Questions

Additional questions and answers

Q:How do I participate in a Sound Seeds competition?

A:To participate, simply visit soundseeds.us, sign up for an account, and download the competition package which includes a backing track and often the Logic Pro session and stems. Create your original song and submit it on the website. Remember to follow all submission guidelines and deadlines.

Q:What are the different ways I can create a song for the competition?

A:There are three main ways to create your song. First, download the backing track and add your own melody and lyrics. Second, use the provided Logic Session or stems in your DAW to rearrange the demo, adding or replacing tracks. Third, learn the track and create a cover with your own lyrics and melody. The approach you choose may vary depending on the specific sound seed.

Q:Can I win additional prizes besides the main payout?

Yes! If your entry gets more points than that of the mole (the original creator entering the contest in disguise), you can win additional prizes. Also, correctly guessing the "mole" in the competition enters you into a drawing for Sound Seeds Swag and other prizes, including a $50 Visa Gift Card.

Q:How does voting work in Sound Seeds competitions?

A:After the contest starts, songs are judged by viewers who vote on their favorite tracks. Viewers can create an account on our website to vote for their favorite song and guess who the mole is. The voting process is integral to determining the winners of each competition. Points are given to views on YouTube as well.

Here is a breakdown of how points are awarded:

• Votes on the soundseeds.us Website: 5 points
• Likes on YouTube: 3 points
• Views on YouTube: 1 point
