Here are a few quick updates to our subreddit!

New Post Tags

I wanted to add a few new tags and create an opportunity for members to distinguish their posts. This includes a "Just for Fun" tag so people don't feel pressured to post finished work, and can just share their project as is. New tags will also set up the framework for our "Guide / Tutorial" projects and "Waveform FX" for sharing sound effects. Here is the complete list of current Post Flair tags:

• ByteBeat Original
• ByteBeat Cover
• Song Request
• Just For Fun
• Waveform FX
• Guide / Tutorial
• Build & ByteBeat

New User Flair

I always love user flair in other subreddits so we should have fun with these. Let me know if you want to add any more flair options, here is our current selection:

• ByteBeat Creator
• ByteBeat Enthusiast
• - kzzt - kzzt - kzzt -
• Resonance Amplifier
• Dissonance Resonator
• The truth hums between the data threads.
• Atlas Eternal

Rule clarity regarding the use of AI

I've updated the rules to specify that AI altered music is off-topic for this subreddit. We're here to craft NMS ByteBeat tunes, so using AI to alter music creations is off-topic. I specifically mention that using external software to process audio is acceptable (i.e. Reaper), in case new members get confused about some of the content shared by our most ambitious creators who have integrated music production software to make their ByteBeat songs.

New Projects

I hope you all find these new tags and flair options useful! I'm going to start doing weekly (or semi-weekly) posts to get started on some new projects coming soon, and I'll include reminders for members to start using these new post tags. I'm learning more about subreddit mod tools (there are wiki tools to help with site navigation too), so I'm excited to announce some projects later this week.

Have a great week and be well, travellers!
