Announcing: buildUP's Sample Flip Challenge 2.0

buildUP is Building Beats’ virtual community for women and non-binary music producers to learn and grow by sharing recent work and feedback in a supportive environment.

In preparation for next month’s buildUP on September 14th, we are launching our second Sample Flip Challenge for any women/ non-binary music producers to participate in! All entries submitted and showcased during our September 14th buildUP event will be included in our next buildUP beat tape (click here to check out our first one). Here are the guidelines:

-Use the sample “Aliens Landing in a UFO” below (created by former student Puspita Dasroy) in any way you like in your music production - flip it, chop it, dice it, slice it, pitch it, reverse it…the choice is yours.

-Track must be 1-2 minutes long.

-To qualify for inclusion on our buildUP beat tape, your track must be completed & emailed to buildUP@buildingbeats.org by September 14th @ 5pm EST. In addition, you must attend the September 14th buildUP workshop at 7pm EST, where we’ll be showcasing our flips and celebrating our creative genius :)

-When sending your submissions, send as a .wav file and indicate whether your track is mastered or unmastered (Hint: if you created your track in Soundtrap, it is automatically mastered upon export, but in a DAW such as Ableton or Logic Pro, it is not). We are accepting both mastered and unmastered versions.

All entries submissions can be emailed to: buildUP@buildingbeats.org.
