So you litterally have to own cinesamples stuff to win cinesamples stuff...great!

Was about to join in, but found out about 80% rule. Very smart move by Cinesamples to use composers for advertising their products.

Since the imagery of the Holy Tree has its roots in the veneration of a sacred tree in ancient Northern Europe, Voices of War has probably the most historically accurate tone!
(I've never understood the name of that library; it sounds to me more sacred than epic).

If i use the free cinesamples room on every track it counts as 100% cinesamples, right? Haha

A few years back 8Dio also had similar contests where you needed to use their libraries to win their libraries...LOL. I am all done with my xmas track..just need to fine tune the mix a bit, then I'll submit. Good luck to all who entered.

I agree this rule is quite harsh, especially as many new members to the Facebook Community group will most likely not own many, if any, Cinesamples Libraries. I think it has been updated that the 80% doesn't relate to libraries but rather 80% of the composition must contain Cinesamples libraries. You can also use other libraries in conjunction as well and won't be penalised. I also agree that allowing participants to enter only if they are a member of Facebook is harsh, I think any composer on any platform should be allowed so that the playing field is equal.

It's not unreasonable to have a developer contest that showcases their libraries. 8Dio had one and maybe one other as well...It was also posted in their own group on FB. But...they do have at least 8 free libraries you can use, for the entire 80% and supplement it with other libraries.

I agree it's not unreasonable, but as a way to get more new members into the community, it may not have been the best way. If they had perhaps released a free library that entrants had to use that would have encouraged much more numbers I think. I agree, it would be wrong to hold a composition competition where entrants could use solely libraries by other companies and none from the host.
