Soundiron Announces Scoring Competition

US Create an original score for a trailer and win Hyperion Strings Micro orchestral string library 31/07/18

Soundiron has announced a scoring challenge where you can show off your composing skills for a shot to win some prizes.

All you need to do is download a trailer, then use any tools you like to replace the music and sound fx with your own original score. A spokesperson told us, "Get as creative as you want! When you’re done, upload your video to YouTube and submit your link. We’ll choose our favorite submission and announce the winner Friday, August 3rd!"

If you’re selected as the winner with the best overall entry, you’ll receive a free copy of Hyperion Strings Micro, plus free upgrades to Hyperion Strings Elements and the full Hyperion Symphonic Strings as they’re released, plus another $50 in Soundiron store credit, to use toward any other library.

A spokesperson had this to say about the main prize, "Hyperion Strings Micro is our introductory orchestral string library for Native Instruments’ free Kontakt Player, Komplete Kontrol and S-Series Keyboards. This library is the perfect starter pack for songwriters and musicians just getting into orchestral writing, as well as seasoned composers wanting new colors in their orchestral palette. No matter what your creative needs are, you’ll discover the powerful toolset and outstanding audio quality that you’re looking for in this convenient and extraordinarily flexible virtual instrument library."
