Really I get up to 7 windows of Chrome Music Lab's Song Maker used at once, but since there are only 5 sets of instruments in it it seems like "Chrome Music Lab x 5" is the most fair name to give this. I previously did a little challenge where I tried to compose a piece of music with the most progressive song structure possible within the default limits (only 3 octaves with 16 bars). This time I did the same challenge but I allowed myself to use the inspect trick to open up the octaves + track lengths.
However.... because I'm dumb and never think about the consequences of my ideas, I thought to myself "Why stop there? Why not stack windows of Chrome Music Lab on top of one another to achieve greater intricacy? This is a great idea". Lemme tell ya.... I took 3 days off work and I quite literally spent all 3 of those days + another (so 4 total) working all day each day figuring out how to pull this off. It was frustrating. All the instrument sounds were obviously not built to work with one another so they easily distorted and ruined the sound of the parts I composed. I ultimately had to allow myself to adjust the audio levels of the different parts in order for it to sound acceptable (the dissonance still doesn't fully land in places but hopefully you can hear the intent).
For anyone who might be tempted to try I don't recommend doing this (even within the context of a challenge) just due to how draining it is to line everything up on top of trying to figure out what sounds decent. You might as well start learning real DAW software (and start learning an instrument if you're open to that) if you want to get more long-term value for the same amount of time. Still, I'm happy enough with how this turned out and hope you enjoy it.
