"The only requirement to get the free course and free software is to enter one song," says SongDoor president Tony Zotta. "That's a $120 return on a $10 investment, not too bad in this economy."
SongDoor 2011 is presented in association with SongU.com, 16 Ton Studios, Hard Twist Music-BMI, MasterWriter, Herringbone Studio, Broadjam, Songsinc and Tanager Audioworks. The total prize purse is valued at more than $40,000.
