3 years ago the project Subaqueous was born. Along the way I have shared the techniques I have learned, the lessons, and the sounds. That is why for my anniversary I am excited to bring another Subaqueous Contest.

The Subaqueous Mix Contest

This contest is for aspiring and established musicians. The winner of the Contest will get hundreds of dollars in free gear / software. The two running up producers will also win a lot of swag.
