For real Instrument recordings, the parts recorded need to musically fit the song harmony and rhythm. The execution has to be on time and the instrument in tune.
The quality and resolution of the recording need to be high enough to be used in the final product. Between the parts that meet the above condition, will be chosen the one with the style that fits better.
For the software-generated parts: the parts created need to be fit the song and rhythm.

The parts that fit the general song idea, and contain more interesting creative elements are most likely to be selected.

In terms of metric: the lyrics that are more suitable to follow the proposed melody, rhythm, and length are most likely to be selected.

The Mi Community commission is going to contact the authors of the selected works by email or private message on the Mi Community, according to the submission method you choose.

Tips for Recording:

Any way of recording which gives good sound quality is welcome.
If you are using software, put the song on one track set the metronome to 80 bpm, and record your part in another track.
Make sure you follow the chords and the rhythm of the song; we have to put together the parts of many musicians like you!
When using a microphone or any other device, make sure to be in a quiet space and do not exceed the volume during the recording.
Make sure you are listening to the reference track on your headphones: you do not want to record also the sound of the speakers.
If you are connecting your instrument directly to a computer or soundcard
Make sure you do not exceed the input volume.
In the end, make sure to export your part only, mute the demo song!
The file type can be .wav or .aiff,but please not mp3!

Let's create a song Together!
