ADSactly Music Initiative #03

Introduction

We got together and decided we wanted to do something in the music space, as there are so many budding, talented musicians on the Steemit platform. We noticed that, although there were a lot of people posting, it felt like some of the contributors could use a little helping hand. I mean, who wouldn't want a little helping hand, right?
So where could WE add value? We could use our own in-house production people to help develop music for fellow Steemians looking for that little extra audio assistance.

We'll be running an initiative whereby Steemians can post their links below, and if the criteria are met (please read the criteria), we'll dig in with them and help mix their track, or add some instruments that they feel are missing from their song, or some little production techniques. If there isn't actually a post that our producer can work with, we might even just decide to give one of the entrants a bit of upvote love.

As time goes by and we put together enough collaborated content, we will then upload this content to digital stores (iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, etc.) and release a compilation album.
The other avenue where we would like to add value is to sync the music to commercials to try and develop some additional passive income for the artists.
Where will this go?
....Only time will tell!

Now that we've actually done one round of this initiative, I think it can give you guys and gals a better idea of what we're trying to achieve here.

How does it work?

@ADSactly picks a winner (Please check back in the comments for this)
The winner receives a consultation over discord to discuss the direction moving forward on the track.
Our in-house producer does the work, sends it back to the winner, and they upload it to DSound with a guaranteed upvote from @ADSactly
We'll report back with the results in the following post so you, our followers, can keep track.

Disclaimer: Sometimes it might the case that out of all the entries, there isn't a post that can be worked with effectively; whether its due to a winner not getting back to us, or there being insufficient or inferior audio separates to work with. In this case we'll pick a song or track to show some love to.

Our Previous Winner

We’ve decided that we gotta just show some upvote love for Hive account@djlethalskillz today.

Big ups to him for being part of such an incredible initiative where he and other steemit musicians and producers are collaborating to release music that is very much in line with what this platform is about. Digital collaboration has such huge potential in this brave new world we live in, and it’s only going to get more and more exciting as we learn how to further integrate new technologies into our daily workflows and creative schedules.

Due to his initial track entry already being past the voting window period, and also due to us getting inundated with music work, we will be upvoting one of Hive account@djlethalskillz more recent music posts.

Special props must go to the other folks who submitted posts for this project. Hive account@marshalllife for a really great track he made for the Smartcash project, as well as the entry from Hive account@seveaux loved that grunge guitar. We definitely want to mention Hive account@jeffandhisguitar and Hive account@kkarenmp some great musicians on the steemit platform, and everyone else who was kind enough to get involved.

Now what are you waiting for? Go and get that music post and link them in the comments...Don't forget to check up in the "How It Works" section to make sure you submit within the parameters. Lets have some fun with music!
