Welcome to the Libre Music Challenge #24, for the month of November 2023.
The deadline for this month extends to the end of the weekend, Sunday 3rd December.
This is a friendly contest where we make music with free (libre) software exclusively. Everyone is welcome to join, at any skill level.
This is a place for learning and sharing knowledge, and an opportunity to explore creativity through limitation.
But most importantly, we just hope it inspires you to make some music!
The challenge for this month is to make a track with "real" instruments. This is in the broad sense of pretty much anything that is not a software synthesizer.
For example: electric/acoustic instruments, hardware synths, voice, or any sound you record with a microphone. You are also allowed to use samples of recorded instruments or sounds. This means things like pianos or percussions, but not loops or anything that originated from a software synth. Sample-based virtual instrument are okay to use (e.g. Sfizz, AVLDrums). Samples must be available under free licenses (e.g. public domain, CC0, CC-BY with appropriate attribution).
You are allowed to use any DAW and any effect plugin, as long as everything is free software. You are also allowed to use any hardware device to enhance your workflow, e.g. midi keyboards or other controllers.
Happy music making!
