How about 1 clean sample production? Like an 8 bar loop, or one-shot that is made from scratch?

How about Cyclopian-style, 10 minute track competitions? lol.

The problem with comps that have tracks over the 4 minute-mark is that ppl dont have the time to listen to them properly. 6 to 8 tracks at 10 mins each is a significant investment of time to listen to them all.

Keeping the track time to the usual length yields greater results imo, from participants to engagement to voting.

Not that we would never do it but I’m trying to keep the ball rolling quick and constant with these comps, and I think 10 min track comps might turn off a lot of the few that do take part. I know I struggle to make a 3 min track so 10 mins aint for me
