Welcome to the sixth RMCC!

These music jams are here to challenge and push composers out of their comfort zones with the goal of improving by "forcing" them to make music based on a theme and a challenge. You will be given 2 weeks to make your submission.

Join our discord server if you have any questions, want to hang out with other participants and to be notified about things that happen in the jam!

The Challenge:

Everyone must use the same motif, the rules are in the video. (there's no seperate theme this time)

Rules:

You can make multiple songs, just make sure to include them in the same submission.

Avoid submitting loops if possible. 

To avoid making a loop, make sure you have at least 2 unique sections, that don't share all instruments or rythm between them.

Any DAW and any GENRE is allowed.

Submission length should be between 1-5 minutes.

Don't submit remixes/covers of existing songs, taking inspiration is allowed and encouraged!

No AI generated music, AI art for cover art and backgrounds are allowed.

You keep the legal rights to your submission, if you want to use someone's submission for your project, ask for permission.

You can participate with a team, or solo. If you join with a team, make sure only a single person submits.  

Submitting:

You must submit both a link to your submission on any streaming service (preferably youtube or soundcloud) AND upload the original recording in .mp3 or .wav format as a downloadable file.

A screenshot or video recording of your arrangement in your DAW is required. You can upload these are screenshots for your project page, or put them in as images on the page itself or you can include them in your youtube video if that's how you submit.

Steps to create your project for submission:

1. Click on your profile and select "upload new project" .
2. Select "Albums & soundtracks" under "Classification/What are you uploading?".
3. Upload your .mp3 or .wav recordings by pressing the "Upload files" button.
4. Go to the bottom of the page and click "Save & view page".
5. At the top left corner of your project's page, click "Edit asset pack" to go back.
6. At the bottom of the page, select "Public" under "Visibility & access".
7. Fill the rest of the boxes as you like.
8. Save and view the page, you can change the look of your page there (if you want to).
9. Submit your project here and fill in the submission details.

You can customise and add extra text however you like. You can also use custom CSS if you have access to it. 

You can reuse the same project for future jams, if you do so, make sure it's obvious which submission goes to which jam.

Rating:

• Composition: melody, harmony and arrangement.
• Creativity: how creative the song is in terms of instrument choice and playing style.
• Mixing: things to look out for are: clipping, way too much or little bass/mids/highs, bad volume levels, etc.
• Challenge: how well the submission completed the challenge.
