Good luck dude !
@drmindflip essence of awesome!
that grain/filter and color makes your video! (a tiny tiny bit out of sync though..?)
~ I've been dry of video ideas for weeks ... and I miss this forum
Great work !
who cares if it's "good"? that's subjective! if you're having fun doing the challenge, i'd keep doing it. i know there will be weeks (this week certainly included) where i am not proud of my output. but i did it anyway, and i feel personal pride.
hope you choose to keep up with it!
I agree with @preciouskindred, sometimes 'music' just doesn't flow though me as much as I would like and I struggle to find an idea that translates -- but I still want to mess around with synths or odd-FX-chains or whatever (my tiny apartment's surrounded by hardware! I can't waste it - life gets stupid busy)
Some weeks might not be as great a tune but from a personal stand point it's proven to my self that I pulled though (Tho, I've pulled a few last minute tracks already (or worse, throw away tracks!) -- and it's a habit I need to break)
Weeklybeats has helped me reflect the following
- Where I stand technically
- What I'm capable of
- What I'm potentially capable of.
- Try and break though some personal barriers
>> It's also a good way to kind of give your self an indication of what you were sounding like at that time. /an epoch/timecapsule!!/
I've probably only generated 5 or 6 'tracks' i'm _proud_ of, the rest are definitely nothing special.
I'm looking forward to seeing where it leads with so many weeks to go this year.
As a personal rule I'll upload anything i deem 'good' onto my soundcloud.
But I generally use weeklybeats to gauge my self. sometimes it get's a comment too
(of which I thank you all -- I intend to comment more on everyone else's tracks a bit more too - probably need to stop listening to death metal and watching the same episodes of star trek and listen to more weeklybeats :\ )
Hope @phesago that you find the inspiration to pull though and you can get what you can out of it if you want to keep going - Your tracks so far have a cool texture to them -- and the glitchy-synthy-hip-hop-hop fx-chaining etc is cool in it's self.
Is time truly our enemy?? - Can we make friends with time?
I forgot about 6 months worth of tracks in 2012 ......... am i too late?
Never too late, I was releasing the videos a couple of days after the track if I was behind my production schedule -- -- this is just a bonus personal challenge anyway
Love your video, @Perplex - especially the LED setup (been meaning to do a similar setup at mine (or perhaps a projection mapping thing)
Hope to see more!
@Little-scale -- tweaking the hell out of max/resolume once again, amaze.
Will NesFX via MidiNES again...
apparently bitwig studio will let two people work on the same project
Just not in the initial release :\
But keen on seeing how this works...!
'1 second weeklybeats sample submission remix into a track'
I've Favorited a few tracks (especially by our modular users) that I intend on cutting up and using as samples/cuts/slices/etc in a track later on in the year.
But kinda the same thing, only using things used inside the weeklybeats colab library submission.
Just an idea...
Spent like an hour on it, i hate my capture framerate on this laptop ... :\ I've been away from my studio for 2 days ![]()

iterations
AFK from studio during production, but so glad I had week4's midi stem to extract and build something from !
Now with Video, again still away from studio, not entirely ideal working environment...
I use FL, love it. Interested in Bitwig as I really like how Ableton works with controllers. I want to be able to just make stuff with my MPK 61.
I wouldn't recommend buying a software right on release though, there will probably be bugs that will need to be sorted out.
Good call,
300>$ is a HUGE amount for one version of software, -- And I suspect several items may be missing from the initial release. (LAN Jamming for example)
Least with Renoise (80$) you get an entire release cycle 3.x to 4.x or in this case from when you purchased.
Hopefully Bitwig do something similar
Or Perhaps they will release trialware -- can live with that
In case anyone missed it. and is remotely interested.
Bitwig announced: You'll need $399USD/€299EUR and you can have it on 26 March

cool, as you were.
(tho, i'm pretty comfortable with live at the moment) (this will be a fun year to explore)
It can sometimes depends on how much fun I'm having with the creative process ..
Coming up with an idea isn't the problem, but implementing something - or starting something getting the ball rolling may take a solid day sometimes.
If I'm lucky, I get over that first day issue, and then thing's start to take form and I start to get tracks down in DAW, on paper, (in a cart), but I do find the direction the music takes changes form considerably after the ideas are formulated.
Find it difficult to reflect the ideas in reality sometimes.
Would say starting is the main issue,
Trying to combat that by
- Taking portable music devices with me everywhere, (NDS, LSDJ, Laptop with external 500GB *mirrored* drive where all my samples/stems/sets are) and take some headphones and a UMA25S (25 key midi keyboard with soundcard built-in) around with me.
Also Listening to stems and taking notes at work (Evernote!!) to try and stay focused on the creative task.
It's an ongoing battle
- Interested in seeing how this forum post develops.
