3 milestones
Complete and record a finished original track — not a work-in-progress or a demo, but a recording that represents the final creative intent for the song. A finished track does not need to be mastered, but it should be complete: lyrics written (if any), arrangement complete, performance recorded. The most common failure mode at this stage is endless revision — a track that is 'almost finished' for months is not finished. The milestone is complete when the creator has decided the track is done, not when it is perfect.
Proof required
Share a link to the finished recording (SoundCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, or any shareable link). Write one sentence on the genre and one sentence on the decision that made you call it finished rather than continuing to revise.
What gets checked
- Finished recording is shareable and accessible via the provided link.
- Genre is stated — demonstrates awareness of the musical context the track operates in.
- What made you call it finished — demonstrates a deliberate creative decision rather than endless revision.
