Round 3 Winners and Next Week’s Prizes

December 24, 2016 by Shaun Farley

dsx_decmber_giveaway

So how did we pick this week’s winners? We took the two users who asked questions that generated the most discussion, and the two users who answered the most questions (with overall reputation as a tie breaker), then randomly drew names out of a hat to assign our prizes. So here they are…

  • BernC wins a copy of Krotos Dehumaniser II for answering 5 questions this week
  • JustinMacleod wins a copy of Zynaptiq Adaptiverb for starting the “Ethical sound design” discussion
  • AzimuthAudio wins a vehicle library from Airborne Sound for the daring people to “Scare me into being better at archiving”
  • Avi Ziv wins the Urban Ambisonics Bundle from Pro Sound Effects for answering 5 questions this week
  • stevefanagan is this week’s randomly selected winner of an annual subscription to Production-Expert.com

Congrats to this week’s winners, and thank you, Krotos, Zynaptiq, Airborne Sound and Pro Sound Effects!

Just a quick note to our winners…I’m traveling today, but I’ll be reaching out as soon as I can this weekend.

We had some overlap between between categories (Justin Macleod answered 23 questions this week!), and we had to disqualify a few others who were extremely active this week…because they’d already won something. It’s great to see this level of interaction! Keep it up, and remember that even those who have already won are still in the running to win the Grand Prize. We want to see those who’ve been rewarded for their participation to continue participating…and that’s our way to do it. If you haven’t been participating there’s still a chance to win some awesome free stuff. Head over to DSX, check out the rules, and get involved!

Here’s what we’re giving away in our final week…

Sound Particles

iZotope Iris 2

Shotguns HD Pro

Any single library from ASoundEffect.com

A 1 year subscription to Production-Expert.com

….oh and we’ll be announcing the winner of the Hybrid Library from Pro Sound Effects on January 1st!

Be excellent to each other, have fun conversations and good luck!

    I can honestly say that, when I joined the running for this give-away, I wasn’t in it to win Adaptiverb because I hadn’t heard of it and had no idea what it did, but now I know and have had a chance to test-drive it, I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s a little bit of everything, a master of all trades. You can make beautiful music more beautiful with it and interesting, magical, abstract and droning sounds just seem to fall into my lap in droves. The only “criticism” I have of it is that it’s too hypnotic. :) I find myself tweaking a few parameters and then, a few minutes later, reminding myself that I should be working, not just chilling out to what I’m listening to.

    I’m not sure how it’s selected who gets what prize and it doesn’t matter, but somehow I got a really good fit. Enjoyed it so much that i went out and bought Morph and would have bought Wormhole, but it’s not out yet.

    I just wanted to say a huge thanks to the organizers, not only for the prize, but also for starting the great community at the exchange. Everyone is so helpful and easy-going.

    I also wanted to say a huge congrats to the other winners, well deserved prizes all.

    thanks to Zynaptiq and the other donors as well. I certainly intend to stick around.
