It’s the norm for competitions to pop up where the payoff isn’t worth the effort. But this one from M-Audio most definitely is. Listen up Trigger Finger Pro owners — if you make and perform music with yours, M-Audio and Toolroom Music are offering the chance to release your track and then fly you to the summery disco island of Ibiza to perform it.
SO really, this isn’t a stretch. You’ve probably got tracks ready to go anyway, and now you’re being presented with an opportunity to get some reward for your labours. And it goes a little something like this:
M-AUDIO AND TOOLROOM RECORDS TAKE YOUR MUSIC TO THE GLOBAL STAGE

M-Audio (m-audio.com), a leading manufacturer of solutions for performing musicians, producers, and recording studios, announces a competition to win an artist contract with Toolroom Records—the world’s premiere dance music label.
The competition provides owners of M-Audio’s all-new Trigger Finger Pro with the opportunity to experience the lifestyle of a rising music superstar. To enter, Trigger Finger Pro users must create a track using the instrument and upload it to Toolroom Records’ demo submission app on Facebook. Toolroom Records will judge the entrants and select a winner on September 1st, 2014.

This combination of controls will command virtually any available music production software and ships with 8GB of premium virtual instruments, synths, and sample content—including remix-ready samples from five artists on the Toolroom Records roster.
