And the Grand Prize Winner is…

January 1, 2017 by Shaun Farley

When we designed this event, we wanted to reward people for their participation and involvement in the little arm of the community that is Designing Sound Exchange. We also generally kept the various methods we used to select winners secret until we were no longer using them. We wanted people to participate in a natural manner, not try to game the system. It was early in the planning when we decided that the grand prize should go to the MVP of the month, so to speak. To determine that we looked at the reputation levels that users earned throughout the course of the month, because reputation goes up when you ask a question, answer one, or when other users like your questions and answers enough to give them an up-vote. Basically, it’s a good way to track who was the most active on the site. So without further preamble…

Congratulations to DSX user Chris Skyes!
He’s the grand prize winner, nabbing himself a copy of the Hybrid Library from Pro Sound Effects.

Now, if any of you who aren’t Chris Skyes were hoping you might be the to win the Hybrid Library in the give-away, you still have a chance to save 60% on PSE’s best reviewed general library. They’ve decided to extend their Hybrid Library sale for freelancers through Sunday, January 8th!
Designed to be your go-to general sound effects library for daily use, the Hybrid Library 2017 offers 63,000 sound effects in 293 categories on hard drive with online access, annual updates, and search software. A limited number of licenses remain available to freelancers for over 60% off through Jan. 8th. You can find out more on their website.
Designing Sound readers can apply with Partner Priority Code “DSX” to secure access to the offer!

A huge thanks goes out to Pro Sound Effects for sponsoring this event, and allowing us to give away a copy of this awesome library. And again for extending the discounted sale of the library for our readers. Congrats again to Chris Skyes, and thanks to everyone who made the conversations over on Designing Sound Exchange so lively this month!

I’ll see you all there.
