Meeting the 2nd Tuesday in MARCH
MARCH MADNESS DEMO CONTEST AT DSA
Join us March 9 at 6:30PM at the Center for Community Cooperation, 2900 Live Oak, (just east of the intersection of Live Oak and Good Latimer).
The stakes are higher than usual this month because the winner of the monthly critique will win a free guitar/vocal demo at a professional Nashville demo studio! That's a $250+ value!
So bring that CD or tape and your lyric sheets. Judging and comments will come from your peers and not from a panel of judges. Read the rules below carefully (especially rules 5, 6, & 7).
Rules
1. This contest is limited to the first 10 songs entered.
2. Preference will be given to the first 5 DSA members to enter. The remaining 5 entries are open to anybody.
3. All entries must be received by 7pm on March 9th. Entries will be considered on a first come, first served basis.
4. Entries are $20.00 (cash or check only).
5. Entries must be simple work tapes (no more than one instrument and vocals).
6. CD or tape must have only one song on it.
7. Bring at least 25 lyric sheets. Lyric sheets must not have any identifying information (do not include writer's name or phone numbers, etc.). We want all lyrics to be uniform in appearance. Use Courier New font (size 10 or 12) (e.g. looks like typewriter font). NO BOLD or INDENTS in the lyrics. DO NOT use all caps.
Our March lecture
Have you ever wondered how to make a great sounding home recording? Do you think you need expensive hardware and software to do it? Have you ever tried, but found the learning curve too steep? If so, then you'll benefit from our March speaker. Joining us from Nashville will be the independent producer, Fett* from Azalea Studios. He’ll share the secret of making high-quality, yet inexpensive demos without needing gobs of technical knowledge.
Doors open Tuesday, March 9, at 6:30pm for networking. The meeting begins at 7pm. The March Madness Demo Contest begins afterward, concluding by 9:30pm.
If you haven’t been to a 2nd Tuesday meeting for a while, then what are you waiting for?
