As far as the length, I think it would be fine if the upper limit was a minute max. It doesn't mean it's a necessity for it to be that length, but some people might be a bit constricted if they so happen to prefer a more round-about way with muisc making and end up being disqualified because their song happened to go beyond 30 seconds or something like that.
It might take certain people longer to say what they really want to say. As long as there's a reasonable limit to how long something can be, because we don't want someone going all prog on us, it should be fine. And for those that can do what they need to do in less than a minute, more power to them.

My thoughts, anyway.

That's kind of the point of the 30-45 second limit though, to simply make it so that people just toss snippets and ideas out there instead of fully-realized compositions. I feel like we'll get more active participation that way and people won't take things so seriously that they spend three months creating their track.

I actually like the idea of being forced to say what you're trying to say in the shortest time possible, with broad themes you just need to set a specific atmosphere rather than trying reach a point in a story. I'm in.

This sounds awesome, you can count me in.

I think that tracks shouldn't HAVE to be less than a minute, but we should aim for that. I will certainly listen to any track posted regardless of the length, plus you can always fast-forward if you're really in a rush.

Like I said in the rules, It's fine if people go over by a bit. The original reason I made this, is I know my skills in production could use a bit of work, and giving a time limit will be a good way to make me more creative with my compositions
