Those of you in the know might recognize the offered track from 8 Bit Weapon, our recently released loop library again, a hint. What can you do with it? 8 Bit Weapon wants to know. Along with the usual plethora of goodies provided to the winner, 8 Bit Weapon is providing a Commodore 64 music creation work station for your own chiptune arsenal!
8bw Adds:
If you dont have any software or even any gear to make the remix, NO PROBLEM! Sony has provided a FREE copy of ACID for PC computers on the remix site for you to use. Mac users can download the loop zip file and use the loops to make a remix as well in programs like Garage band, etc. However Mac users wont be able to use the acid project file.
There are NO restrictions on how the remix is made! You can use all chip related devices, modern softsynths, or anything else that tickles your fancy. Also, you do not have to use ACID software to enter! You can make your remix any way you like. :)
The Grand Prize winner will receive: A Commodore 64, 1541 drive, cables, a Prophet 64 Cart, ACID Pro software, Five Standard Collection Libraries, as well as a copy of our “Electric High EP” & an 8bw T-shirt!
