This thread has been created to coordinate the music making challenges…as started by relic…

Anyways

The challenges are like the beat battles…but different in the sense that anyone could host a challenge…

and that it is a bit less restrictive…being that there is no winner…its just a bunch of people experimenting or trying some new music making techniques…

This is the master thread to coordinate the challenges and share ideas for what would be a good challenge…

So yeah cheers… see you guys around the forum.

I really like the idea of it being looser like this, even if there are quite a few going at one time. Also, if anyone’s up for some weird art challenges, I’d love to host some of those as well.

Whether the forum is super active these days or not, these challenges are still always enjoyable

Is that like miami bass or something?

 ![largemouth-bass-virgil-beck](https://idmforums.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/89443eed5b753c5be33c5af8593f15babe09c2b9.jpeg)

(this type of bass, obviously)

Not sure if it’s been done yet or mentioned but I’d be down for a breakcore challenge in the future as well if anyone else is

I had an idea…

You are allowed to make a few tracks for each challenge…

You dont only have to stick to making one track…

You could even do an ep for a challenge if you have the time…and want to do so.

</div>

I had a few _really_ weird ones but I doubt there will be enough interest:

- Trackers – make a song in anything tracker-releated. Renoise on down to C64, Amiga, etc
- Modular – make a whole track with VCV, Cardinal, CV-1, Voltage, your own rack, etc
- Fantasy consoles – do 100% of your track’s sound design in Pico-8, TIC-80, Pixel Vision 8, etc
- One-sample challenge – we’ve all done these before, but they’re still fun as hell
- One synth challenge – just use Vital (or something) with absolutely zero outside samples
- Recorded sounds only – your entire track must be made out of your own field recordings!
- IMG XXXX – your track’s sounds must all be derived from videos with less than 100 views
- Freeware challenge – no paid DAWs or plugins allowed!
- Breaks challenge – one internet breakbeat pack, one (insert any genre) track
- One sample pack challenge – someone provides the pack, everyone else provides the track
  - Warp modes challenge (only using warp modes in your DAW!)
  - Batch processing challenge (you only get Audacity and one macro!)
  - Follow actions or die!
  - Granulators only!

Yes! There are actually a lot of freeware modular options and VCV / Cardinal is one of them!

Jeksola Buzz looks really interesting! I’ve heard of it but never tried it for some reason!
