2009 6-Pack Contest Prize Confirmed

We are busy putting together an awesome prize package for this year’s 6-Pack Contest. Just confirmed is a copy of SongFrame – a song development toolkit designed to provide assistance in writing and refining songs. This is a very cool tool. In addition to serving as an overall notebook for a songwriter's ideas, SongFrame allows the user to construct songs using drag-and-drop icons representing song structure elements and then fully develop every aspect of the song within these. It can be thought of as front-end “superstructure” for songs prior to their recording, arrangement and production. Read more here.
