Oldschool way....
uhh, no DSPs? I dunno, but then its only arranging some samples imo or not?
are there effect collums allowed in ur idea?
He said "no effects", which I think means no effect column usage either. Doesn't sound like a very popular round idea. I can forsee lots of people accidentally breaking the rules too
Organic IO summed it up. While limitations make for a interesting challenges, challenge alone may not attract a large number of participants.
Reverting back to no effects and strictly 4 channels might be too restrictive for all but the most hard-boiled veteran or dedicated oldschooler.
Keep in mind that even if it isn't a theme doesn't mean you can't enter a C64 style track in a compo (as long as it complies with the rules, ie no conflicting theme, etc). Anyone here can appreciate the skill involved in making a 4 channel track without any effects.
