  How does this work without the 'source code' of the tracks being provided - e.g. the Garageband files or Logic files or Reason files or even just the 'stems' (separate audio tracks).

  Like its really hard to, say, change the drum pattern on a track if you dont have access to the underlying files that were used to produce it.

  Great idea!!

  But please don't cave in to the trend and don't introduce NFTs...

  Hey, two quick suggestions, mostly related to the actual beatoftheday.org website:

  1) Put some info on your homepage about what this actually does. When I first landed I wasn't sure what the purpose of the website was. 2) Resize your images! For example your header logo is massive and took a good 5+ seconds to download. You have a max-width of 994px, but the image itself is a whopping 14,976px wide!

  I broke the site 2 days ago by swapping my AWS key... fix coming soon. And I’m having a designer make new mocks for the site, will post before we start building!
