[MABB] October 2017 - Discussion Thread

Rules can be found here: [MABB] Maschine Beat Battle - New Rules + Archive

Winter is here! Thats how it feels over here anyway...

For this month we have the following challenge:

• Any genre
  
• Built-in Maschine drum synths are allowed
• Built-in Maschine effects are allowed
• Monark is allowed
• No samples allowed
• No other instruments allowed

The deadline is the 26th of October!

 

Are these the only sounds and effects that can be used?

 

Yes, added to the start post to make it more clear:

• No samples allowed
• No other instruments allowed

See discussion at the end of the last thread, where we talked about this months challenge

But I suppose, sampling the our sounds to reduce CPU is allowed, as long as we provide the original Maschine sounds with Monark or the Drumsynths?

 

So we can't sample out of Monark...we can only use the plug-in ? As noted above, that might create some CPU issues. What if we sample but clearly indicate which preset was used or something like leave the plugin in that state somewhere in the group ?

 

...that's what I thought - leave the sequence and the plug-in in the group bypassed, so that, if the winning tracks will be examined by Mick, he can switch the things on again to check, if that has been the original sound.

So, as an example how to organise this, one could have a bass preset in a group on Sound 1 and record up to 15 patterns to the remaining sounds of that group.

 

Can we use the built in bass synth ?

Just thought about this and went to forum to ask.

 

after triyng a little bit, i have to say that this is an interesting and not easy challenge (for me at least)
but that way you have to explore the versatillity of monark and the drum synths - great

Lets save that for another battle

And sure, resampling is okay, as long as you leave the original patch in there somewhere so we can check it at the end

 

Cool , turns out I won't need it .

 

we are here to have fun, each one respects the rules, I started to work out by respecting the rules but did not keep the source of my resamples.

 

This "any genre" rule is a good thing, I'm in this time

 

Hi guys, a suggestion I did to @Mick @ NI is we could share our project files after the battle, so we can maybe understand / discover best practices. It could be beneficial to everyone. What do you think ?

 

Great idea

 

Yes i've uploaded something - and monark is really a great synth i always underrated - until now!!

 

haven't started anything yet, been busy. Gonna try something tonight !

 

when (specifically time and time zone) is the cut off for submissions? @Mick @ NI

 

Last time it was until the end of a day.

 

so you mean end of the 26th LA time? 11:59 PDT
