edit: can I up the track and give it out for free before the end of the comp? is that cool?
If you plan on entering this, no. Unless you make a second tune just for the comp. But as far as just putting out a tune you started because of this thread, you own the rights to your music.

I think a month is a good time period for the comp. No pressure. Don't end up rushing and making something you're not completely into...
Though, I did this partially because I start school next week and have a habit of doing these things last minute anyway ha

In between being sick from too much cider last night, I went in on this properly today. Got some 120 bpm techno on go. Only having one sound source really gets you thinking outside the box. Enjoying it...

does FM within a sampler count?
im using Sampler in ableton and using the OSC function. there isnt technically any sound generation, but still

i have no idea bc i don't know anything about ableton.. but if you have an FM function on your sampler and both operators are for instance a grain table of the 808 then that's fine
but if any of the oscillators are synthing a wave then no
you could create a perfect sine out of the sample then turn that into a sine wave osc. then use fm , presumably

I was using it as a blanket term for simplistic minimal techno.

Is there somewhere the tracks should be emailed to, or would you like me to handle them?
I'm making ambient. I find it interesting how many people reached the same conclusion that they should create a snare sound out of the kick. I personally find that a bit in-the-box.

PM them to me. Pretty sure I said that on the front page.
