The Mix Challenge audio community has announced it is celebrating the 8th anniversary of the Mix(ing) Challenge:
Hard to believe that we're already eight years into this journey (the Mix Challenge started 2014 on KVR Audio). As of this moment, we're at over 85 Mix(ing) Challenges and over 57 Songwriting Competitions.
Year 8 had plenty of ups and downs however. For example, I sadly had to reduce the game rhythm for our community namesake in 2022 due to a lack of source material. But on the flip-side, this offered more room for our other main game (producing / songwriting). One of the bigger milestones has been an expansion to Discord, which introduced an alternative way of interaction.
I can do nothing but thank everyone that has been (and still is) a part of this community. From our song providers (some of you reached out multiple times even), to license sponsors, to the monthly participants, to all very generous patrons, to all those that go the extra mile and spread the word about this community (please continue doing so), the cross-community support and collaboration, etc.
As some of you are aware, this whole endeavor is (currently) run by only one person. Without you, your help and words of encouragement, things might have come to a halt a long time ago. Please keep up the good work, reach out, interact. Thank you ever so much.
Happy 8th Anniversary, Mix Challenge.
