IF anyone else wants in you're welcome to join, I guess I'll put the hard cap at 20 just for size of sample library reasons?
Awesome, thanks! We'll get creating something weird and wonderful. Is there a date that the sample has to be ready by? I couldn't see one mentioned.
Not a hard date yet. Y'all are being way too on the ball for my expectations. :lol:

It will probably be something like December 14th?

How long should the sample be? 5 seconds? 10?

I think what most people meant is "please not 10 minutes long" ;).

Anything between 0.5s and 1 minute for example seems fine to me, depending on the material : i.e. for something ambient and simple/field recordings/etc., long samples can be fine but if it's a dense piece of sound, please make it short.

mine was a little over 10 minutes i think, but i just hit record and did a long form take, part with delay, part without. I just figured most people would be doing crazy abstract stuff, so i did a more rhythm specific section that is long and varied. If people only want to use 1 second of it, that is fine. If people want to compose something longer with it, that is fine too. If people don't like any of it, that is fine as well. I just did what i personally like to do, which is longer form stuff. I think anyone can do whatever they want really. Everyone is just going to hack these apart anyways in whatever way interests them. And everyone has different interests and ways of working. And i think that is what is exciting about working like this.

I just thought the idea was having a small pool of fairly short sounds and seeing how people would create vastly different things with the same small snippets. A bad analogy, but an analogy non the less, would be handing a group of people 20 lego pieces and seeing what they would make VS handing them a box of 500 pieces. It gets less interesting and waters down the concept. That's my $0.02.

I understand what you are saying and your analogy UC. Regardless of what people do or contribute, i am just excited to play with it all haha. I figured most people would be doing shorter bits (which can be a good thing, like how it supports your analogy) :hobbes:

I have several ideas for samples, all shorter. They get to be morphed and chopped and spliced into something bigger.

10 minutes isn't a sample. That's something that could be sampled.

Unrelated. I will be mastering this again. Likely around -14 lufs for internet compatability. So peak DB doesn't matter too much. But if your track is slammed loud, you will be quieted down. Dynamics are your friend. Uncompressed wav or aiff if possible.

Where do we send the samples to? And did we land on one or two?

It can be loud and still retain dynamics ;)

The email is in the OP under nuts and bolts.

Number of samples depends on number of participants. If no one else is interested after today (Monday) we can lock it at 16 and decide.
