Ummmm... there really is no time limit, but I'd try to keep it under 5 minutes. People might not want to listen to anything over that.

I meant time limit to write the piece, but I just checked the other thread so nevermind.

Lol, sorry about that! There's a deadline on the solidcomposer page. wink happy tracking!

The limitations used to motivate me to push my limits, well at least back when i used LSDJ. I really don't limit myself when it comes to any music. The only time I really limit myself is for compos (where categories are set by filesizes of the modules) or if i'm doing an OHC where I'll sometimes be like "This is way too many channels, I won't be able to finish in an hour with so many!" I think limitations can really push creativity, though.

It's definitely something not necessary to chip-music, though. The main reason I make chip-music it is because it's something I know well and because it's what I like to do now and then. I think at first, you think "Wow, this chip-music stuff is really simple! I can do it too!" but then after you stick your head in a bit you start to realize it can get pretty complex. At least, that's what I think draws people in.

I'll try and set this up this weekend, granted i'm not busy (which is verrrrrrrrry likely).

If I am too busy/forget, i'll try to get it done sometime next week.

im pissed to see NO reference to inpuj, one of the oldest running netlabels in a chip listing! a majority of the stuff there is experimental, sure...but certainly considered chip. maybe just too obscure, but i've repped inpuj for over ten years now. definately worth checking out.

I figured inpuj was mentioned in that label list if m3rck was in there.

Odd. But yes, inpuj fucking rocks.

Get a giant squid riding a unicorn that has a chainsaw for a horn with flames everywhere and a ribbon near the bottom that says "WORSHIP SATAN."

I guarantee you'll be the raddest dude on the planet.

Oh, and the unicorn and giant squid have to be wearing sunglasses.

its perfectly fine if you use software, plenty of people do.

I think you guys would enjoy some of the other features though, for example the automated listening party. This is after the competition deadline - everybody on the web page listens to each other's entries at the same exact time (hence 'automated'). It makes it fun because you get to hear everyone commenting on your song while you listen to it.

Not sure if a synclisten will work here as I'm sure many of us live in completely different time signatures and surely some would miss it. Definitely worth a try, though!

... he wouldn't have a problem adding in that feature if someone wanted it.

Then lets ask him?

I say we do ask him. I don't know if I'd be able to host it all the time, so I'd need someone to sub for me in case I can't host it every 2 weeks. (I have a lot of shit to do and it probably won't be settling down anytime soon D: )

Blind voting it is! At least, I think that'd be best to keep things fair.
