modey Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 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/ Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide modey's signature Hide all signatures youtube | bandcamp | soundcloud | twitter | facebook 0F.digital Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/81718-weekly-beats-2014/ 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 Report 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.

weakmassive Posted December 28, 2013 Report 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.

foresense Posted December 29, 2013 Report 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 Report 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?

foresense Posted January 5, 2014 Report 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.

modey Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report 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.

weakmassive Posted January 6, 2014 Report 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.

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.
