modey Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) edit: it's back for 2018! I remember a few people here joined in on the WB fun back in 2014, so I thought I'd post about it again since it's back again for 2016. Who's in? I'm hoping to use it as a way to get more familiar with the new hardware I've acquired over the past year or so, and to build up some good patterns on my monomachine for live gigs. http://weeklybeats.com/ Edited December 10, 2017 by modey 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/89661-weeklybeats-2018/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 At first I was like "there's no way I could do so much music". But then I thought it could be nice to kick myself in the ass and try to pull some music out instead of losing time thinking about what's possible or impossible. I'm in :) !

weakmassive Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) I did this 2014 and it was awesome. It really helped me to finish tracks - many of which ended up on an album. I don't think I'm going to do it this year, but I'd recommend it for anyone struggling with productivity. Just get something done every week.

I'm thinking about doing some hardware restrictions for the challenge as well, like doing everything on my MPC. Or buying Reaktor and making a song every week showing my learning curve of the software. I think it might be the most interesting approach to such a challenge, but it can also be a pain in the ass to work on the exact same setup every week for a year...

auxien Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I was trying to do some small releases with quick/minimal composition techniques, the weekly beats thing might be the thing to kick that into gear or serve as fodder for larger releases. If I can get a quick workflow and easy quality recording setup from my hardware going this week I just might do this.
