Self Reflection: This month, it was nice to get back into the contest. I’ve still been making little bits and pieces of music but this helped motivate me to dedicate the time to finishing a track. I am in a temporary position and don’t have access to all of my usual equipment so I tried to fudge the...

@R0boooo @JereonZuiderwijk

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. R0boooo, you should definitely enter; we are often our own harshest critics.

I just wanted to say that I am super disappointed that so many people are so heavily considering how they feel a song matches the theme. Obviously there could be some extreme examples of where it's apparent that the prompt was not an influence, but beyond the extreme, it's not something that I reall...

Hello All, I had fun making my entry this month. Like I said in my initial post, I learned that automation can sometimes benefit from a more manual approach however tedious it might be. I also had some fun with Audimee and seeing what that is capable of. It does a good job of converting the vocals b...

This is my WIP for this month. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g7QWMBA8Y4GM_eCv9IKyQlKFY4K6NRL4/view?usp=drive_link This month, I tried working with some sample loops. I found the experience quite limiting: I could not write a part B because the instrument samples had no part B. I could not change...

Yeah, I know my LUFS are too high. I've decided that I don't care. I've talked to Mr. Fox and others about why the challenge has that limitation and while I can appreciate some of the reasoning, I'm not going to limit myself that way anymore. Some genres may be ok with it, and some specific tracks, ...

Hello All, When thinking of what summer dreams meant to me, I thought more of my youth. Back when summer was a time of no school, hanging out with friends, and just having a good time. I started writing something energetic and uplifting. I found myself leaning a bit towards a sort of hyperpop soundi...

Hello All, I had some fun making the track this month. I did also figure out that patcher can be used as a sort of modular synth with basic sound waves. It also offers more flexibility in the the effects that I can use instead of being limited to the ones found inside a VST. I am now kind of curious...
