DAW FORMAT

In this on-stage challenge, participants have 10 minutes to create a track from scratch using a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). Before the competition, the judges will announce a theme that reflects the intended impression of the electronic music track. While all genres and tempos are allowed, the track should align with the specified theme in some way.

Schedule

The competition is scheduled for April 11 at 2:00 PM on the Controllerism Stage in Hall 11, located within the MusicOneX area at Messezentrum Frankfurt.

Hardware

Hardware is limited to a laptop, an audio interface, a microphone, and one MIDI controller or keyboard.

Criteria

Judges assess creativity, technical skill, time management, and the ability to craft an engaging track under pressure while adhering to the specifications. The DAW session is displayed on an LED wall, allowing the audience and judges to follow the production process in real-time.

After the production showcase, the judges will evaluate the execution and discuss the production process with the participant, providing feedback and insights.
