Alright Audiotoolers,

The first round of the Summer Games is complete, and we are truly impressed by the number and excellent quality of the submissions. You guys rock!

Now, let's shift our focus from Naswalt to a user who has won multiple contests during their time on Audiotool as well.
A big thank you to rai. for the fantastic second challenge.

The Challenge

In the second round of the Audiotool Summer games, rai. challenges you to create an amazing track without using the timeline. This means you can't use note regions, audio tracks, or automations. Think about which device you can control with each sequencer and create a track that stays engaging despite the limitations. Remember, only the available sequencers are allowed. Therefore, let go of your habits and take action!

Challenge Summary

*All instruments are allowed as long as they don't appear in the timeline
*No note regions, no automation, no audio tracks in the timeline
*In short, the entire track needs to be created on the desktop using the sequencers

oh good, I was wondering about the machiniste. That will make my job slightly easier

2023-08-14 20:13 · 2023-08-14

that awk when the challenge is just your normal workflow

2023-08-14 21:52 · 2023-08-14

my reaction to this information

2023-08-14 22:38 · 2023-08-14

assuming the machiniste is allowed, i have two big questions -
are samples allowed
and is resampling in probe allowed

nondeescript · reply
2023-08-14 22:41 · 2023-08-14

question one is obvious but i am using it as preface to question two

rai. · reply
2023-08-14 23:01 · 2023-08-14

All samples are allowed! But you'll be judged by your creative use of the devices, so if your whole track is composed from a bounced sample playing from the machiniste, it will count against you.

2023-08-15 17:05 · 2023-08-15

what is the ruling on tempo automation, it says no automation and tempo automation is technically part of the timeline but it also doesn’t contribute to the timeline
I’m working under the assumption that it isn’t allowed still but the question deserves to be asked

Good question. Not allowed. Correct me @fonder if I am wrong

How are we supposed to publish the track without the timeline? I've tried but the application got stuck at the publishing phase...

JayFK · reply
2023-08-19 16:25 · 2023-08-19

You only have to set the end of the track then it should work.
Sometimes publishing stucks during the process then try again later.

@jayfk Thank you. I'm trying but it seems to be stuck forever. Maybe everyone is publishing at the same time?

2023-08-19 16:37 · 2023-08-19

There are No new tracks since the last 8hours, so I think everybody has the same problem

I love how @fonder 's challenge has resulted in probably one of the most F-penta heavy playlists on the planet, as a by-product of the inherent tonality of the tonematrix. If you really want to stand out in this contest, you'd better use that scale in moderation. :)
