YOOOOOO LET'S GOOOOOO
YES
In that case
I'll make beats all week instead of school
Holy SHIT, hopefully I have time to do this! I'm so swamped on school stuff right now...
Awesome! Have some ideas
:O
@ceroxin @dj_scratchdisk @musicmaker23754 @daverichards800_gmail_com
Wait I'm not even 16 tho... T^T
Well, not this time unfortunaly.
I was thinking of doing a collab with some people, but I guess they already found who they will collaborate with.
Nice! will probably participate
That's a big prize pool
That's a power squad If I've ever seen one
Dam I'm 13 T^T
I'm 15... T^T
But you young!!! XD
Yep me and the bois...
But Me Revo and Affinitii can't participate bc we're under 16 XDDD
If somebody wants me in their collab, hit me up
I'll consider joining
oh snap. @jewan
I might need to clear out some time in my schedule, but this is worth it.
anyone wanna collab? :O
Ik lol.
Oi, @d30n Why don't we collab, just me and you, and create a cool track.
I'm down I play ukulele
@nogesi I think if you win you have to put your parent's information instead
might as well consider
ayo i kinda wanna do this
YOOOOOO if anyone makes a beat for me I'll go in and rap and sing for it and actually try for once xD
Lol welp, never mind everyone, we have our winners, no point in even trying now
Ok
Prizes seem kind of lame. Just a bunch of software I've never heard of. Like one of the prizes is a discord call with some guy who tells you how to set up a livestream for an hour. Cool prize lol
Lol that's a bit hypercritical of you, isn't it?
Win it for the glory (and marketing potential) of audiotool.
oh well i buy software i don't use xD better to win it for free right... and plus let the guy show you, he might be very insightful
i would love to be a part of this but i know the answer already so i won't even ask xD
Ohhhh, that makes sense.
someone is gonna make a burner account and pretend it's a close friend lol
definitely not me <<
@d30n @officialawenix @im_not_yo_mama
Wanna collab???
Nah I either want money or something cool like a copy of Serum or Ableton or something. I remember Sasha contest, the prize was like... a paid for Trip to Ibiza. NOW we're talking prizes!

What are you talking about bluegordon15682 and redchris22334 are my longtime friends and collaborators
Good luck everyone. I think the results are going to be absolutely insane.

gg bro
Same here @niggaballz69
Some important info from SoCM: the way submitted tracks will be described in the entry form will be an important consideration in the judging process
@dopeslinger: The track has to be produced in this time period (Nov 20 - 11. Nov 21) - so it can be an older track but it still needs to be a collaboration
Some more words from the organizer: "We are looking for a great track but we're also after a track that demonstrates the spirit of collaboration and effectiveness of using various collaborative technologies, such as AT."
Yesssss
nah dawg you guys aint even ready for me and everyone wh joins the live session
Ive got the best samples in the GaMe
how do i add my track ¨Stronger¨ to this contest
Flees for life
I’m pretty lonely on this site so imma pass — again 🤷🏾♂️
But yeah thanks for the offer. Good Luck all! 👊🏾
how do i get a decent chance at this cause i am nowhere as good as the others so i can garrentie ima lose but ill try m absolute best
I knew it.
Sure :)
Aight throwin out there
Who wanna collab?
Oh yeah this is going to get abused by talented artists, not evennnn going to consider this one
I'm seeing a concerning amount of "why bother... 😔" comments. I mean, I'd really like to see artists just go for it for the sake of it...
But here's the deal: a story of artists not only collabing, but teaching eachother through this platform would probably be a pretty cool story to go along with the entry.
yey, but when it comes to talented artists joining competitions, there's always gonna be a good chunk of people going "nevermind" cause they end up focusing on the skill aspect of a competition, rather than the learning aspect of one
and this is coming from a guy who immediately goes from "IM GONNA WIN THIS" to "yeah nvm heck feeling hopeful" the moment a talented artist joins in a remix competition lol
heck im still learning myself not to get so down when a big artist joins in a competition honestly
i can understand how much of a downer it can feel to feel like your music is average compared to other artists' tracks that sweep out the competition, and it can be a huge let down of motivation, especially if you're already struggling to feel happy about your music.
i think the best thing is to just understand there's people who are gonna be better than you, understand that worrying about skill will only detriment YOU from becoming skilled just like them (in your own way of course), and that the point of competitions is enjoying yourself and not worrying about who's clicking or faving your tracks... most of the time... lol
this is also gonna be a (pretty) big competition, so this'll make people not want to compete in the contest even more really
Totaly agree, @tikowun
I found from early competitions I entered in that they pushed me to learn so much more about production/writing instead of leaning in on my own comforts.
I really want to see these artists who feel discouraged feel confident instead. Or maybe even feel amped up to competing alongside bigger artists.
I feel like I need to reiterate what @naswalt said. Yes, there's already a bunch of decent lineups that will most likely be the focal point of the competition. @naswalt & @jewan , @dingusflyer & @s51995 (don't pretend like you both aren't gonna enter), everyone from https://www.audiotool.com/user/thedudetree/, basically everyone in that 10 minute collab made by @xenom0rph, and yes, as some of you mentioned, me and my motley crew lmao. Heck, when I thought about how much competition there was, I indeed was demoralised at my chances of winning the competition.
But I feel like as much as it's an actual competition, people shouldn't be afraid to enter for the sake of the learning experience. The best part about this contest is that you are required to collaborate. This is a decent opportunity for people to learn from one another and see in what other way can Audiotool be used. One of the main points of the contest is to foster the spirit of collaboration, and I feel like there's no harm in clicking that "New Project" button and inviting someone to the draft for a decent learning experience.
Take it from a guy who got most of his foundation from entering the HOME OFFICE contest. I made 5 entries, 2 of which were collaborations, among 132 other tracks. Did I expect to win? No. When I saw all of the decent entries made by Audiotool's big names, did I get even more disappointed in my work? Definitely. But there's also good things that come with it too. I learnt a lot from @foxyfennec and @jewan from our collabs, and they build the foundation of the producer I am today. And when I saw the artists' entries whom I really liked, I thought to myself, "How can I sound more like them?", rather than crawl to a corner and cry.
TL;DR, don't be intimidated to try. You'll never know what you are or can be capable of unless you take that first step. Don't worry so much as about whether you'll even place, the main point is to have fun and enjoy yourselves! As long as you're proud of what you've put out, that's a win.
Competition has always brought out the best in my abilities and if honestly if it wasn’t for home office I might never have returned to making music and getting all that rust off. The result might not have been great at the time but it pushed me to excel to my current level and it’s made me realize just how much competition can do for your own personal growth
also the drummer of tame impala will be listening to your music if you enter so that’s just an extra win in and of itself, get out there and make something happen
I fully agree. When I came back on AT after my 5-year break, I started with a remix comp to get used to the studio again. Then, I took the opportunity of the Home Office challenge to start learning how to properly use synths (needless to say that I am still learning). When I participated to the 909 challenge, I started learning about time signatures - but also a great deal about sound design through experimentation, which gave me ideas to design birdsongs. The Playtronica challenge motivated me to consider sleep as overrated to learn more about birdsongs. And now, I am learning how to produce psybient. I'd like to insist on the fact that my very first tracks were basically samples glued together with a special ingredient called "fucking nonsense", and my knowledge of synths was limited to flat monophonic pulvs. If you fear of failing, think about the fact that I left AT on a failure during half a decade. Everyone has a lot to learn, even those you may look up to (no matter who they are). Hope this will motivate you to participate algonside us :)
sweet! i'll send u somthn
ill hop on
When I started making music, I participated in a lot of remix competitions. DidI expect to win any of them? Not at all. But participating gave me motivation and an excuse to make music; and I learned a lot too. That's one of the great things about the audiotool community, the friendly competition helps create new and better artists.

@prodtaki19 did you complete the form?
were*
Yall aint even ready for what me and @ceroxin have got cooking >:)
Fr fr none of you are ready for this next track I'm making
Literally nothing
30 minutes of nothing
Did you not read the rules? The maximum is 9 mins.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/866942925673594891/908419980465405982/unknown.png
9 minutes of nothing is still a contender
True true
30 minutes of silence at 1000 bpm
But it's actually 30 seconds

Did anyone get an e-mail confirmation for their entry?
The only email I got was a confirmation from Dropbox that my file had been submitted. They were just using a google form, so they might not have a full system set up yet. Yesterday should have been the updated deadline.
could an alternate prize be $16,000?
lmao
Is it bad that i didnt get a confirmation from dropbox?
https://www.audiotool.com/track/3p6pa8lx8ea/

forgot to post it here tho
Maybe? The dropbox one i got too. Just not from the Google form
Results should be announced tomorrow, crossing fingers to see audiotoolers winning this contest :))
