(NOTE: I wanted to upload this to 3Speak to support our beloved chain, but due to technical problems and updates it´s not working right now. That why I chose YouTube (because my video is longer than 2:20min).)
Hey guys! 😊
How are you doing?
I recorded this video specifically for a new music contest on Hive.
VIBES Web3 Music Competition Week 1
Please find the connected tweet on X here:
And please find the connected video here: ~~~ embed:6_Vw9YuLmH8 youtube ~~~
The rules of the contest say the following:
I asked, if musicians, who produce electronic music can also take part in the contest. And the organizer told me, that I should send him an example video.
So I recorded myself and showing my project file of how I produced a song and sent it to him as an example.
The organizer then told me that it cannot be accepted, because it cannot be rated and it is way to easy to abuse this. 😐
1. Well, first of all I think the rules are clear: record yourself playing music. I did this. As I see my PC and production software with the plugins as my instruments. And still, it´s not accepted. So it might be good to make the rules more correct and clear.
2. And second, I cannot agree that it is open to abuse. Since I showed my project file which only I have. And showed what plugins I used (I have hundreds of plugins and bought them all. I spent thousands of dollars to setup my production software). Someone would need my project file and the exact same plugins I have (which is very unlikely because they are from 30 different companies) to be able to pretend and show that they produced my song.
So yeah after putting all this work in it, I am quite disappointed that it will not be accepted. And I decided to upload it anyways, since I already put in all the work to make this video.
To make it clear: I don´t care about the prize money or if I can win or not. I just think we already have so much stuff on Hive where "live" musicians that sing or play an instrument in front of the camera can earn big upvotes or win contests. But we have almost NOTHING for music producers. And that´s sad.
It took me years to learn this expertise. Much longer than it took me to learn playing the drums. I could also just record me playing the drums to take part in this contest. But that´s not the point.
I just want to help all the music producers to get chances and possibilities on Hive too! We have some very very good ones in here. Many already produced music for games and projects that are built on Hive. So these musicians play an important role on our beloved chain.
Further on, I think if we had more possibilites for music producers on Hive, we would be able to drag more of these into our chain. We always only aim for draging "live" musicians onto our chain, and that means that we miss out on the other half of professional musicians - the producers.
So yeah that is basically why I still upload and submit my video, even if I know, I can´t win because I am not "eligible" to reasons I don´t really understand.
I hope you get my point guys. I am both - a live musician that played 15 years on stage, and a music producer for 10 years. And I think we need chances for both sides.
Thanks for reading this through and maybe it will make you think about it. 😊
Coming back to my video.
This is a song I produced for a new Hive game called Rise of the Pixels. I am allowed to produce Synthwave music for this game 🎉 which is awesome because I love to support Hive projects with my music! And in this video I showed you in a very short version how I produced the first song Starlight for this game. Yes this video is short because producing this song took around 8-10 hours. 😄
It´s the first time I make a video and show how I produce. So I hope you like it guys.
you can also listen to the full song at the end of the video.
Have a great weekend and see you soon! 😊💜
Best regards,
Raven 🐦

Thank you for all your great work here!
I like your style and your music.
You created "the music-work" for four hive games now.
And my wife used -after getting permission from you- some of your songs for a local theatre-project.
The project was based on Franz Kafkas famous novella "Die Verwandlung" and people here loved it.
Thats a quite smart kind of what i call "adding value" to our hive-blockchain.
Hope your support will grow.
Stay tuned!
Best regards from balte.
Thank you so much for your constant support along the way! For valuing my art and giving me the hopes to become a full-time musician someday! <3

Thank you for your submission. Great work. As explained before for the first few weeks until we add more judges to the competition you wont be eligible for the cash prizes but we will definitely be looking into adding music production to the pool of talent here once we figure everything out.
That´s great to hear thank you!!
I can sort of get why they have these restrictions. With the original open mic contest they had people cheating by submitting videos by others, so you had to say your name at the start. With a produced track it's harder to tell if it's original without all the info you provided and that adds to the work for the judges.
I really do think that Hive should value all types of musician. We have a fair few doing electronic stuff and some is really professional. People may just have to establish their musical reputation to get trusted. You have done that for sure.
I think this contest needs to reward quality music and performances, especially with these big prizes. Otherwise it will not be taken seriously. I know Lord B is trying his best and he will be happy to discuss options with you.
Thats about the same answer I gave her. We had a lengthy discussion. This is all in early stages, first of all its important for this to come to life outside Hive to be a justified expenditure. Thats the most important thing. People outside Hive talking about this. We are working hard on that. Im happy she is eager and we will try to do our best over time. Its hard to always satisfy everyone at all times.
I hope this post gets you lots of exposure! I am also reblogging to do my tiny part. Good luck to you and other Hive music producers getting the recognition you deserve!

Wooow I love the vibe of the song haha. You did a great job and I enjoyed listening to it even if it's not eligible to win an award. Also sharing the details of how you produced the song can be inspiring for other singers.
Thank you so much for listening! =) I am happy you like it! More music for the game will come out soon!

So cool, you know how to make music really cool. So sad there's no place for you yet in the competition, this is superb.
Looking forward to listening to more of your music, well done on this one.
Thank you so much! =)
Yes I hope someday Hive will take music producers more serious.
Thanks for your support! =)
They sure will, it's only a matter of time 🙂
Do you know I always learn from your posts. I deeply appreciate and respect your work.
I watched the video you made but it was very complicated and difficult. I can tell how much effort you have put into learning music.
Best wishes to you!! 💜

I watched the video and found it to be quite interesting. A solid introduction.
While listening to you I started to wonder if it would be possible to record the entire production from start to finish. Then the video recording could be sped up to match the length of the finished song.
Then you mentioned how long it can take and I thought cramming several hours of video and production time into three minutes or so might look like a blur. Yet I've seen several digital artists cram many hours of work into short videos using this method.
Just an idea.
Thank you ! =)
Yes of course it could in general. But the recording would be between 6 and 10 hours long. And my main problem is, that my pc does not have enough performance to be able to produce music and record at the same time. This takes up alot of ressources and I would need a huge PC for that, which I don´t have right now. Music production alone is already enough for the PC. :D
That´s why sometimes the picture in the recording lags. So it´s really a technical problem.
And you would have to watch a video of 6-10 hours and edit it. Which are hours of work again.
Yeah, I thought of your PC as well. Poor thing would be cooking. And the editing for sure would be a pain in the butt.
Could take a screenshot every few minutes. Create a slideshow. Playing fast it would appear animated in a video. That would save on resources but still be a pain to edit and might appear choppy. Probably not the best idea either lol...
I agree with your message though. Plenty of music is produced this way and it's too bad this approach isn't included somehow. I think if enough people put their minds together, maybe you all can come up with a solution and open the door for even more music.
Ahh that is actually a good idea. To take at least screenshots. Thanks! I will do this on the next song production and see how I can combine this with a recorded video afterwards, like I did with this.
Thanks for understanding! Every project today, games, websites, movies, series etc. have music and it´s all produced. And it takes alot of knowledge and training to be able to produce a song so that it doesn´t sound shitty.
Once my account grows bigger I hope I can come up with something for music producers and give them better chances and rewards here!
