Yea, I'm not sure of your reasons but I dont like the obsession with trying to copy old sounds, its all about being new and original.
Will still sign up though!

you have 5 other weeks to prove your originality but what we're looking for here, is your ability to understand what makes the great... well great.
we're leaving this open to you, but surely you can understand why this is included --

not really.. will just prove that you were able to find similar sounding drum samples and make similar patches with the gear you have available lol.
whatever it'll be fun to listen too though. just makes me not want to compete personally.

well most trance songs are not about drum samples but synths & synth programming.. and even then the mix has to be similar in terms of EQ and shit.. its not just about a treasure hunt for similar sounds..

My Fav to. Track choice will play a big part.
I assume if we choose a track with vocals we wont be penalized for not including them?

Vocal tracks are fine by me. There's generally enough else going on that it's enough of a challenge to recreate.
It'll be interesting to see what tracks get picked for that challenge. Trying to find a track which is fairly straightforward to recreate, but still sounds like it was challenging...I'll have to start thinking, trying out some options, in case I get to round 2.

Rules will be up later today (or just "pretty soon", depending what time zones we're all in), as well as the week 1 challenge!

I guess I can see that - still, I think it would have made a lot of sense to make the challenges genre based, i.e. Progressive Trance Week, Anthem Week, Tech-Trance Week etc.. But that's just me.
