Hello family. I just got done building my new monster machine. It's an AMD Ryzen9 5950X CPU, Asus X570-E gaming WiFi motherboard, 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz RAM, 2 1TB NVME Samsung 990 Evo SSD's, XFX RX 580 8GB GPU and Thermalright 750 watt power supply. It's running Windows 11 Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Reaper DAW. It's all mounted in a 4U rack mount chassis. So far I have about $1000 in this system in all. What are your thoughts on this system. What would you do differently and why?

Hey there! Still not sure if this was a thing, if they decided to do a mixing challenge instead, or both but didn't have prices for both... still confused. The download link on the EVENTS site clearly said: "Download the guitar and vocal tracks for the production challenge". Whatever, started to make my own track with Lucy's enchanting "Moonchild" vocals. Don't think it's finished yet: still some things to do production wise (some weird notes on the bass f.e., cause I was puzzled by one of the guitar chords, snare sound is not the best one, etc.), still many things to do mixing wise, I guess. Not sure what genre it is, has some synthpop vibes in the second half. Having realized that there was no "production challenge" (or was there?) I finished the song without aiming for "perfect" or "masterpiece" but for a decent (sounding) track, cause I really liked what I had so far. Had some technical issues, didn't find the exact sounds I was looking for, whatever... let's call it a "demo version". Mostly used the provided "demo tracks" (vocals and guitar/organ), only added some of the additional vocals at the end (without much processing). ------ LONG STORY SHORT: If anybody wants to take a listen the song (it's quite different from Dane's version, but as I said: I really like it) HERE'S THE LINK TO MY MOONCHILD VERSION: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UzP4j_9qpjSkEc_BdOqW3GRxfIkY_mpG/view?usp=sharing ====== If somebody else made this "mistake" and produced their own version OR feels inspired to make his own song version now, after the show - feel free to add a link here in the comments! ;) =======

Biggest question/takeaways from production event is what if you are not a drummer, keyboardist, cellist, violinist etc? I can program in a basic four on the floor and trust that NI algorithm is going to give at least a human feel but it’s going to be miles away from what an actual drummer can do (listening to my painful attempt at fills is enough ) So when and where do I decide to be the jack-of-all-trades and eek out my basic knowledge of the scale of a cello, or go research how a cello is played, or just go find a real cellist for the track?
