modey Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Thought I'd promote this here in case anyone else is interested. Write and upload a track each week in 2014. I haven't done it before, but some friends of mine in the chip scene did it in 2012 and it sounded like fun, so I thought I'd sign up and try to push myself a little. Gonna attempt some wacky multi-genre stuff! http://weeklybeats.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foresense Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'm thinking of doing everything in Nanoloop for it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weakmassive Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'm thinking of doing everything in Nanoloop for it.. On Gameboy or Android/iOS? See a few familiar names from 2012… trash80, little-scale, saskrotch, protman. I don't think I'd be able to keep up with this though and still have the tracks be somewhat listenable.

QBLA Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 This seems pretty cool! I don't know if I'd be able to keep up though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Android, haven't looked at it in a while, but they did a big interface update for it, and it has ~4 second sampletime now. I think of all the time I play Wordfued and read useless news shit on it, and I could be enjoying this shit too.... Every week poop out a little 1 or 2 minute ditty, no problem.. might even get interesting :) Sunvox on Android is cool too, but it's a little cramped on my Nexus 7.. but I'd like to go all Android for this.

weakmassive Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Nice! Don't forget Caustic 3. I've been playing with it a ton since it was ported to iOS. It's serious. Love Sunvox as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey thanks for reminding me of that, last time I checked it was on my HTC Desire. In my memory it sucked :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakmassive Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I'd check it out again. It's not going to be Ableton Live or anything but it's very capable. It's got a sampler, subtractive synth, an FM synth, even a simple modular synth. Lots of fun. And it's $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foresense Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 It's real nice.. sort of a mobile Reason. Liking the sound I can get out of it.. Nanoloop is still cool too, such a nice way of pattern sequencing. will probably alternate between them, maybe do some sunvox stuff. Also thinking of doing sample only remixes in Renoise later on.

jeyemusik Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 This sort of thing really appeals to me - I tried to do the RPM challenge last year but I failed due to it becoming too much of a pressure on stylistic consistency and trying to get things to fit into an "album" format. Shame that I'm pretty snowed just now and have a whole buncg of projects to finish off. Can you join in half way through the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 I think so! It's pretty relaxed; you don't get disqualified if you miss some weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foresense Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 after two crashes from caustic I have quickly devolved into an everything goes ethic :) going for experimental, engaging and complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah my first submission was a pretty easy one; I just went for a 10 minute cosmic acid jam. I'm hoping to get pretty wacky with mine in the future though. I've got no ideas for this week but maybe I'll try some sound collage stuff.

QBLA Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I don't know man... I'm not putting my track above anyone else who submitted... But I think I probably dislike about 95% of the tracks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 I haven't listened to any yet! I'm assuming it's mostly chiptune stuff? I guess that's not for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakmassive Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 That was tough, but I'm encouraged that even though I had almost no time this week, I still completed something. I haven't listened to a ton yet, but I found some good tracks. Missingsense- I thought yours was one of the best. What did you end up using for it? I used Caustic for mine. It's a bit crashy on iOS as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should get that save habbit back again, but I got really spoiled with Reason that never really crashed, most solid audio software ever. Renoise is pretty good too and it saves crashbackups. Might give it another go later if he updates the soft, I sent a bug report to the developer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weakmassive Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm enjoying listening to the Week 2 tracks... people stepped up their game I think. Modey - "Sun Map" is intense!! I did some spacey techno arp thing... in Caustic again: http://weeklybeats.com/#/weakmassive/music/sabine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks! It's been a while since I recorded sludge metal so it's good to know I can still do it, haha. And your track is cosmic as fuck! I love the ridiculous amount of cosmic music people are making lately; definitely relevant to my interests.
