Title: MatriM3's 31 Day Challenge
Post by: MatrixMaster3 on June 29, 2009, 19:25:00
Hello all Nitrotracker users! I am going to be starting a 31 day challenge in which I will make (or try to make) and submit a song every day for the month of July, using only Nitrotracker and any samples that will work in Nitro (recorded and vocal samples included).

IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS CHALLENGE, PM ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU AN EMAIL TO SEND SUBMISSIONS TO!!!!

If you do participate YOU DON'T HAVE TO SUBMIT A SONG EVERY DAY, JUST TRY TO WORK ON ONE EACH DAY EVEN IF IT TAKES YOU TWO OR THREE DAYS TO MAKE.

IMPORTANT!!!: Submit your songs by 12:00 AM (or midnight for you 24 hour clock people) EST on that day. So for July 1st, you would have all day to work on the song and then you submit it by midnight that night. If you don't submit it in time for me to put it up that day, then I will just put it up the next day around noon EST.

---

For the first day, I am going to submit three previously created songs that were unreleased and have been edited on July 1st.

Day 3 - 28-7


This song's name has a reason behind it. I started it at 2:47 on the third day, and 2X4=8, so that's how the song got its name. Strange, I know, but there's a twisted sort of logic behind it.

Day 6 and 7 - Still being made and recorded/'mp3 cured'

It takes a while to make and record/fix the XMs, and because I have work, my music making has been fairly backed up. I will make these some time today and possibly have to make three tomorrow then up them then, because I don't have work then. Hopefully...

Luckily, though, I have found a way for Nitro XMs to be fixed to work on computers and other trackers. It involves using computer trackers (namely Milkytracker), but if you want me to 'mp3 cure' your Nitro XMs, just give me a copy, and I will fix it for you.

Okay, as you can tell, I didn't finish all of the songs in July, like I wanted. And so I failed at my own project, but I am still trying to get 31 songs together. They will just be spread over a longer period of time. I sadly only have half of the songs finished (and most are just random ideas thrown together fairly shittily) with 15 songs completed and one more coming (this song being Abram's Pursuit that was promised to be completed a month ago).

Once I've finished all of those songs, I will upload them all. Maybe in a zip, maybe individually, but I will be releasing an EP afterwards of cleaned up and elongated versions of the best songs from the 31. I hope that this will get done before the end of the school year, and that's a fairly narrow release window in itself (for me, at least).

Sorry to disappoint those of you who were looking forward to these songs, and for those of you that don't care, keep on keepin' on!

Okay, I re-listened to the mp3s of all of the songs I've uploded so far, and realized that Milkytracker is really weird in how it deals with Nitro xms. Either way, I'm making all of the songs mp3s and giving you guys the Nitro xms upon request. I'll be uploading the mp3s both individually and as a zip/rar archive of all 31 songs. So basically, ignore what I have up here right now, unless you want the xms of the first few days.

I scrapped a few songs (including Abram's Pursuit for right now) and reworked a few others, so the song total is at 18, but have two new ones already in the works.

Once I've finished all 31, I will (as I said before) be making cleaned up and elongated versions of what I think are the best songs from the challenge into an album. I'm trying to mix them so they kinda lead into each other (and I have two songs (the last two) that already do so). It's REALLY basic editing, but it makes the songs flow more. It looks like I'll have the Challenge done around New Year's and the fixed album coming sometime in February. That seems like a long time, but I'm just trying to be generous...

Again, if you wanted to hear more from me, then I'm sorry you have to wait now. If you couldn't care less, then care even less!
