Sounds great! Looking forward to itā€¦ Iā€™ve a wee question though. So, if the starting point is each person creates an element each, and then each team creates a part to start that uses each of those elements, and then each part is combined. I guess at that point itā€™s down to each team to figure out how to combine the parts and how they want to expand it from there. Will there be an opportunity for each team to agree a common tempo and key/scale for the elements weā€™re all creating?

Was just about to ask the same question

I donā€™t use software, but this sounds like a job for melodyne and timestrech

Or just layer jup on dissonance and non integer polyrythms

Chromatic free time

Great question. There was a bit of back and forth, so let me clarify.

The element can be a sample. Or a one shot.

It just has to be something. It can be a soft synth preset. It a sound bite.

Post it in the main thread.

Then teams announced. And from there, itā€™s up to the teams to approach this any way they see fit. One song with shared key and tempo.

Or individual parts that are stitched. Or a mixture of both.

And after a couple weeks, Iā€™m going to ask if you WANT to show a preview. For the folks on the sidelines to see how itā€™s going.

So you can flex, or keep it quiet.

But thatā€™s the step after teams are formed.

After that. Around July 1st, when

Did you see Melodyne just had an upgrade sale?

I just upgraded to Melodyne Studio.

Havenā€™t had the opportunity to use it yet

No problem! I may keep the registration open until the first just in case.

And I may have to change to three person teams.

Iā€™m going to reopen registration until the 1st.

It may make the teams not even if an odd number can join.

We can see how it looks on the 1st.

I donā€™t have a computer, and have never used software like that, but it sounds interesting to have elastic audio or retune note by note.

So far itā€™s either been make non-compatible samples work together through brute force or giving up

Should I keep it closed and go 15, or open it up but there might be weird team if the people arenā€™t even.

Iā€™m okay with that.

Technically, you only need to add it once, so you donā€™t have to worry if it doesnā€™t fit.

You can just show it and move on, or really use as much as you want.

Hereā€™s an idea I was kicking around.
I kind of think of this like the Rhythm Roulette series.

  1. People on a team upload/contribute sounds, beats, stems, samples whatever.
  2. Each team member makes a rough version using those materials. Nothing too polished.
  3. Then the team chooses what to move forward with.
  4. Whoeverā€™s sketch is chosen hands off the sketch as stems to another team member.
  5. That team member remixes it then hands it off to the other team member.
  6. That person remixes it.
  7. The team decides who is up for finalizing the track. Or everyone does, and then they choose which one they want to submit as final.

I say do whatever.
I wouldnā€™t mind keeping it open a bit longer.
We have through July correct?
Some people dont log on as much as other so we might get more people trickling in

One benefit to smaller teams, or to letting more people sign up is that we would get to hear more music :love_you_gesture:
