GPU Audio has announced the launch of a beat making competition, alongside a free sample pack to get you off the ground.
The GPU Audio Beat Battle will take place over the month of August, putting submitted entries in a series of head to head battles, in a football World Cup format. Over $2,000 USD of prizes are on offer for the winners including software from MNTRA, AudioThing, Sonible, Bedroom Producer Blog, MusicByLukas, and more.
To enter, make a beat over 1 minute long and submit it via the Beat Battle Channel on the GPU Audio Discord Server with a short (maximum 300 word) description of how you made it. The competition is open for entries now, with submissions closing on the 24th of August, followed by a week of voting – putting the beats head-to-head to decide the overall winner! A number of live Discord events will accompany the competition, starting with the launch on the 2nd August.
Entrants are encouraged to use GPU Audio’s free beta plugins, available for Windows and MacOS to process their beats or some elements within it. Sign up to the GPU Audio website here to download the free audio plugins – which include a Phaser, Flanger, Chorus, Delay, and two Convolution Reverbs.
The contest will run until the end of the month, with submissions closing on August 24th, 2023.
