Is this the kind of thing that would interest the members?

Is it the kind of thing that Cakewalk would be interested in sponsoring for a prize or 2 or 3?

Maybe in connection with Gibson/ Tascam.

Craig A. Would you be interested in contributing material for remixing?

Who would judge the competition? It would have to be by representatives from those contributing prizes? Maybe?

These are just some of the points for consideration. I'm sure there's plenty more. Come on let's get some positive stuff happening.

Even if Cakewalk can't do it maybe we could do it. Surely we have the resources in material and personnel here. Prizes don't have to be of huge value. Maybe Cakewalk could offer an increasing tier of member ship extension for 3rd to 1st place.

It could either be a small thing confined to this forum - my preference or maybe a much bigger scale if Gibson / Tascam / KRK etc got involved.

I just want to see something positive happening. The daily grind of dealing with problems needs a little refocus from time to time.

Now don't take my previous comment as negative. Just want to be enthused about something. I need a project.

I like the idea!  It would give me a project to hone my skills on and try out all the different tools.  I think it would be best if Cakewalk sponsored it though. . . maybe they could give away some Prochannel modules or synths as the prizes.  For me the main interest is just practicing something new.

Yep that's what I figured.

But in the meantime if you want some material to try your mixing skills on try this;

Well . . . maybe not Rapture Pro, I don't think they 'could' give that away

I don't particularly want to do a remix at all. I want to do something to bring this community together a bit. Having a community that is always involved in problem solving is great but there are other things that can be done to create a greater sense of community.

To a lot of people this place is a stop over on the way to somewhere else. For others it's an important social outlet. Some of us enjoy coming here, helping others and keeping the place going by our contributions. We've done it before and it was run through the Coffee House. I enjoy trying to create some enthusiasm.

What about a group track upload page where people donate tracks to the group page... the result could be many different mixes picking and choosing from a bunch of tracks.

I record some simulated singing which will be a challenge with even the Melodyne pitch correction to fix.

That's a great idea.

Keep the ideas coming and we'll see what ideas gain traction. Thanks for joining in.
