Songwriting contest

Hi folks,
I'm a new JamStix user, but a very old n-Track user, and I'm helping Flavio Antonioli run a songwriting contest over at fasoft.com. There are some nice prizes from PSP, Manytone, Soundclick, and n-Track, of course. I thought I'd let you all know, since there is so much good music here.

More information can be found on the n-Track forum, in the n-Track music thread:

http://ntrack.com/ntrackforum/

Or here:

http://ntrack.com/contest/

Also, I'd be very grateful to anyone who'd listen to my first and second attempts to use JamStix, "Buddy's Big Green Van" and "Never Leave Home" respectively:

A vast improvement over my wretched drumming.

Peace,
Tom Spademan

I like the tunes. JS2 sounds good too.

Thanks! The learning curve for JS is steep, but I did some more stuff today, I'll post tomorrow, and I think I can see in my very near future some really, really good drum tracks.

Hey Folks, I wanted to prod anyone here who has not entered our fine songwriting and recording contest over at www.fasoft.com to do so ASAP; the contest runs through the end of the month. We've added a couple more fine prizes that go very well with the unequalled drum progie JamStix. Visit the n-Track forum for more info. Here's the list so far:

One SoundClick one year VIP membership. That makes you a VIP!

Three Full Downloads from n-Track.com of n-Track Studio ver. 6. (Three folks will win one each.)

One of 3 n-Track Studio ver. 6 Upgrades. (Three folks will win one each. Duh.)

One PSP MixPack2. http://www.pspaudioware.com/plugins/mix2.html

PSP stuff is fabulous.

ManyStation from Manytone. http://www.manytone.com/manystation.html

ManyGuitar from Manytone. http://www.manytone.com/mgdescription.html

Manytone's stuff kills.

Oh, one more thing - someone asked if the song needed to be done partly or entirely in n-Track, and the answer is no. The only requirement is that the developer of n-Track would like you to register for the infrequent email updates about the program.

There are some great musicians/songwriters/ recordists here, so submit your stuff!
