Sample Pack Contest VI - Scoring Template

Your name/pseudonym: smh

- Give scores for ALL the songs except for your own (if you have any.)
- Scores are out of 100, where 100 = faultless/perfect, and 0 = totally void of merit/worst song ever.
- Do not use fractions.
- Commenting on songs is optional.
- E-mail as an attachment to daveharris.lunar@gmail.com

Some aspects to consider when scoring:
- Sound design: ingenuity with and manipulation of the source samples, modification of samples to create new sounds, etc.
- Composition: structure, melody, harmony, rhythm, basically how well written you think the song itself is, etc.
- Production: mixing/mastering (balance between instruments, overall loudness if it's a factor), stereo field use, frequency spectrum use (good use of EQ), use of effects, etc.
- Overall enjoyment: simply how much you like the song.
- Anything else you deem important.

consider these elements on a case by case basis, as some may be more or less applicable depending on the song. how much you factor each into your scoring is up to you - if you wish, you may set aside a certain number of points for each element if it makes the judging process easier for you, however the total scores are the only thing that will be relevant in score calculations.
