    Anybody who's up for it should do this. It's a great exercise for producing, and we did something similar last year so I'd love to see the results this year.

    Basically, just spend 30 minutes on a track and then stop and upload the results here. If you have to scrap something, fine, make something new, but still only with 30 minutes of time. I'll be trying this out tomorrow.

    EDIT:
    My 30 minutes:

    Hour and a half:

    Did this in 21 minutes and 46 seconds. I know I had like 8 more minutes but I'm in a hurry and would probably forget about this afterwards.



    Will do something much better next time.
