After the huge success of the inaugural Best Demo Competition 2009, we’ve decided to run the beast again in 2010. RDU’s Best Demo Competition showcases what RDU will herald as the best produced track for 2010. Entries will be judged on the overall sound quality and production values and will give specific consideration to composition. The winner must be part of the production, but is not limited to playing a single role ie: composer and engineer. This competition is NOT genre specific.
RDU’s Best Demo Competition 2009 saw one-man-band powerhouse Miles McDougall aka Pikachunes take out the coveted overall prize of a trip to Red Bull Studios in Auckland to mix up a track with top NZ producer Recloose.
HOW THE COMPETITION WORKS
This is an OPEN event for producers or musicians who have recorded, mixed and produced a finished track of any genre. Anything goes but you must primarily have had involvement at one stage during the writing and production of the work. We will post notifications via our website with the winner being announced at the Dux De Lux RounDUp Grand Final on Saturday 27th November 2010.
THE PRIZE
Winner of the RDU Best Demo for 2010 will receive:
· A trip to Auckland to lay down the demo with top NZ Producer Recloose in the mighty Red Bull Studio.
· The final mixed track will be added straight to A rotate on RDU98.5FM, with interview and Adlibs by hosts.
· It will also be introduced to all the Programme Directors of the Student Radio Network (bNet).
· RDU & Red Bull will run a web story and profile on the winner at http://www.rdu.org.nz/ & http://www.redbullstudio.co.nz/
· Plus a tray of Red Bull to keep your wings on.
