'[o]Make a song in an hour? How does anybody even do that?'[/o]

...Many '[[n00b (class)[n00bs] have found themselves asking this question, and feeling stuck with no idea how to begin. Even prior training in music will not necessarily equip you with the skills for throwing a composition together at the speed necessary to compete in an '[[XHB]. So how is a baby '[[BotBr] to acquire these skills? Well, this author believes that learning by studying the great masters at work is one way to level up your battlecraft. Furthermore, even accomplished '[[XHBist (class)[XHBists] could surely stand to learn more from their peers.

Therefore the intention of this page is to share '[b]XHB Vlogs'[/b] and by doing so encourage more BotBrs to make them, so that we all may benefit by learning more about each others' processes.

You are encouraged to create your own and share them here. You can totally just capture your screen & audio output during an XHB and throw up the raw footage, but if you wanted to be an absolute sweetie you could add captions or a voiceover to further explain your process.

'[o]Please remember however that '[b]live'[/b]-streaming XHBs is '[b]'[u]not'[/b]'[/u] permitted as this would bias voting which is supposed to be anonymous. Only upload your footage after the fact, please!'[/o]
