spoonyd Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 okay, here's what i'm doingI am going to arrange a little monthly competition, and i am rounding up participants. Nothing is settled, so I'm still looking for input on how to make this work just right. But here's the deal.I want this to go off on a Saturday afternoon, starting maybe around 2 or 3. I can get the lep for it, or it can be anywhere. It's to be a head to head loop production/mixing competition. Here's how I see it. Suggestions are welcome.Rules of the game.-Each producer has 4 loops/patterns to beat his component with.-Only 1 pattern may be used for each turn-Turn order is decided by a coin toss, and the winner of the toss can choose to go first, or second.-your gear will be plugged into 1 channel of a 2 channel mixer-first player will be given a set amount of time to play a pattern-second player will have to beat match and mix into his pattern-players will alternate for 4 turns each, without duplicating a pattern.-crowd decides the winner.-there will be time limits for mixes, and loop playing.Requirements-you are allowed (expected) to bring prepared loops/patterns-there will be two levels to compete at, novice and advanced.-your equipment must be rigged and ready to plug into a line level left/right phono input.-computers/laptops are allowed-you cannot play a prerecorded song, all music must be generated live on the spot.basically, what I am hoping for is live jamming on loops, rather than just playing a repeated pattern. Of course, it's mainly a case of letting the crowd be the judge of what's best.I think this could be fun, and I think it would be great to get all the home producers together once a month to compete, talk shop, and hopefully come away with some bragging rights.nowwho's interested?who's got suggestions?
