    they said on another reply that everything over 60 seconds will be automatically discarded
  2. RDFC says:
    Hi, my beat is finished, it lasts 60 seconds exactly. But the audio tail of 2 seconds makes it a bit longer and slightly above 1min . Is it OK or you are really that strict about the timing?
  3. Andrea says:
    hi, what kind of structure should the beat have if it's 60 seconds long? I'd like to make a intro-verse-chorus type of beat, but this way it wouldn't conclude.
  4. Pascal says:
    As far as I understand you are allowed to use anything. Only requirement is to use at least three samples from the samplepack. So I guess what you did is fine @TheManWithNone. I also used some external Drum samples and a vocal.
  5. TheManWithNone says:
    I have the same question as Mikael. Apart from the pack, I used a kick and a vocal from Splice and a synth vst.
