Big up Papa Tolsof. For some reason I imagine him as a flesh-colored Smurfā€¦ :hmm: lol.

Also big up to Cyc, apparently the only contestantā€¦ ?

29

Yeah I havenā€™t gotten any others :confused:
I made a quick beat after Cyc said he was going to submit something

30

That sucks.

I have an excuse but itā€™s sort of bullshit (hate current setup/workflow).

Is the BPM the main reason for lack of participation or something else I wonder? Weā€™re all busy but fuck, this is Sadshitā„¢.

31

Yeah I was really proud of this pack too :frowning:

Voting thread guys :stuck_out_tongue:

I thought it was a good pack. I wanted to do something but didnā€™t get to it.

34

That is part of it for me. Iā€™m just getting back into production after a long break; Iā€™m trying to reinvent my workflow. I have to explore what inspires me and not be locked into a BPM. I do understand creativity through limitation but at this point it is too limiting for myself.

Well the next comp should be more free form. Iā€™d be up for another ā€œgenre battleā€ like the trap off

36

+1 on the reinvention of workflow. I hate what i have to work with rn even though it served me well up to this point and helped refine the clutter and analysis paralysis I used to get with too many I/O and plugin options.

We just need the right kind of limitations I guess. Whatever that means.

Not sure a genre battle is really free form enough tbh - some people already kill their respective genres and have a leg up that way (looking @Samuel_L_Damnson motherfucker :lol_og:) but maybe if itā€™s deliberately, um - transgressive? Transcending? Dun kno. Pushing boundaries. Thatā€™s what I feel like atm.

I like the og samplepack format and the plug contest on the old board was dope too.

True. Maybe another thing like the 10 second song. Or maybe only have 1 day to make a song. Something to really push our creative ness.
Tbh the sample pack comps arenā€™t a ā€œchallengeā€ for me anymore cuz itā€™s basically the only way Iā€™ve been making songs now. Neither is the 100bpm because, again, Ive been making most of my songs around there recently.
(I donā€™t mean to sound like Iā€™m good at it, just that Iā€™m comfortable with the set up)

We need something that actually breaks how we think about making a song.

Like if we did a psytrance tune battle Iā€™m sure no one would have a leg up

YES! Letā€™s pick the shittiest most b8 genre and go from there.

Hardstep Challenge
Yoifilth Hoedown
Trancenanigans :tm:
Polka Hop Extravaganza

etc etc

:thinking:

I mean, if itā€™s about challenging personal boundariesā€¦

42

Iā€™d love to do a happy harcore one. That would be hilarious

43

Also think the Tuna thread is where the real dons hang. Want to cross-pollinate between this and that a little more.

Iā€™m honestly shamed when I think about how hard you regulars over there actually try to keep yourself on point through rigorous discipline.

44

The tuna guys are all fantastic and V talented

I can never keep up tbh Iā€™m a slacker

Yeah I wish I had the time to stick around there but Iā€™m already doing too much. And I felt bad I never had the time to listen to everyoneā€™s tunes

Oh good so Iā€™m not alone there lol.

All respect to the Tuna massive.

May we merely follow in their footsteps (vootshtopz?)
