Well. Im in either way. : )

Attaboy.

I think a lot of us are busy - hell, I’m supposed to officiate AND do A/V for my cousin’s wedding in a month and have been procrastinating already, on top of all the other shit I procrastinate about. And I really haven’t produced so much as a tune in the last year.

And yet…

this calls to me. Contests here in the past have been the best thing to happen to my production skills and I hope this kickstarts a new phase for me. I’m looking forward to starting a new workflow from scratch.

EDIT: @tabasco - do you have a general ETA? (no worries if not, just trying to block out time while I still can cuz shit books up quick for di ronzlo) And is there a theme or any other details you can share?

You started a thread for archiving all past ones on the old board too, no?

Also: if anyone out there wants to do this but is concerned about time limitations then consider a collab. I did this w/ NWJ and it turned out pretty well IMO. He only had time to do a few bars but it still took the song in a whole new direction I never would’ve discovered.

Pack will be up Wednesday. Will be relatively sparse (~15). Wasn’t going to do a theme for what is essentially an inaugural/reboot.

Yeah, I’ll dig that out today. The new thread will have a link to the archive and a run down of the previous guidelines (collabs okay, tune length, samples only, granular synthesis ok)

tabasco · April 12, 2016, 9:55am

Ok, pack is done. Will be uploading it today.

(Will tag everyone who has expressed an interest in this thread…would like it to be made sticky if a mod wants to help out with that)

I got one in mind

_ronzlo · December 31, 2019, 5:48pm

Which, the ice skating one?

Otherwise I could throw something together. All good either way.

sleeps · December 31, 2019, 5:54pm

Yeah that’s the one. I was gonna wait til weekend but I guess it can go up whenever …

_ronzlo · December 31, 2019, 5:56pm

DOO EET!

sleeps · December 31, 2019, 7:19pm

Aight I’ll probs set it up tomorrow.

_ronzlo · December 31, 2019, 7:21pm

Was about to say I have the .wav rip already but if you wanna package it up proper and ting that’s cool too.

sleeps · December 31, 2019, 9:22pm

Nah is cool man, if you’ve got it ready to go then do it! Don’t wait for me.

_ronzlo · December 31, 2019, 9:25pm

We wanna do a one-sample comp or throw some other sounds in?

_ronzlo · December 31, 2019, 9:32pm

One-Sample comp (with Nat. Geo. ice-skating video sounds)
Multi-pack with ice-skating sounds plus a small handful of other randos

One sample

MARSEN · January 1, 2020, 5:51pm

Yeah the more limited the more fun imo

anon22530004 · January 1, 2020, 6:15pm

one sample would be fun… can we make sure the initial sample is HQ though ? using that ice-skating sound is alright but does it mean we’ll be using a youtube rip ?

_ronzlo · January 1, 2020, 8:47pm

Yeah, it’ll be a YT rip unless someone finds a better version.
