Frequently Asked Questions

What is HitOrMiss?

HitOrMiss is a free music competition platform where producers and musicians can host and enter song competitions, beat battles, remix contests, and more. Submit your track, listen to others, and vote hit or miss.

How do song competitions work?

A host creates a competition with rules, genres, and a timeline. During the submission phase, participants upload their tracks. Once submissions close, voting opens and the community listens to each entry and votes hit or miss. When voting ends, results are revealed and the top tracks are crowned.

Can I host my own beat battle or music contest?

Absolutely. Creating a competition takes less than a minute. Set your title, description, rules, genres, and dates, and you’re live. You can also set up recurring competitions that auto-create on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly schedule.

What genres are supported?

Competitions can be tagged with any genre including Hip-Hop / Rap, Electronic / EDM, Pop, R&B / Soul, Rock, Jazz, Classical, Country, Latin, Reggae / Dancehall, Metal, Folk / Acoustic, and more. Hosts can also create open-genre competitions for any style of music.

Is HitOrMiss free to use?

Yes, HitOrMiss is completely free for both hosts and participants. Create competitions, submit tracks, and vote without any fees or subscriptions.

Who owns the rights to submitted songs?

You do. Your music is yours, always. HitOrMiss never claims any rights to your tracks and we never use your submissions for anything beyond the competition. Audio files are automatically deleted 14 days after a competition ends, so your work is never stored permanently. Your creative rights stay with you from the moment you upload to the moment we wipe the files.

What happens if someone cheats the voting?

Their votes are removed and the results are recalculated, even for competitions that already finished. Using extra accounts to vote for yourself means a permanent ban on all of them. See the community rules below.

Community Rules

HitOrMiss only works if a hit means someone actually liked the track. The first rule matters more than the rest combined.

  1. One account per person

    Using a second account to vote for your own track costs you every account you own, permanently.

  2. Never vote on your own track

    Not a hit, not a miss.

  3. Don’t organise votes

    Getting friends or a group chat to hit your track, or miss everyone else’s, counts even when the accounts are real people.

  4. Vote on the music, not the person

    Don’t miss someone because of who they are or because they missed you. Skipping a track you won’t finish is fine.

  5. Submit your own work

    Remixes, covers and sample-based tracks are welcome — the version you upload just has to be yours to enter.

  6. Be blunt, not cruel

    Harsh feedback is the whole point. Abuse, slurs and hateful content aren’t.

If you break them

We check how votes are cast, including where they come from. Votes we find were manipulated are removed and the competition is recalculated, even if it already finished. Coordinated manipulation means a permanent ban on every account involved.
