Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC081 May 2024 - Submissions until 24-MAY-2024 23:59 UTC+2/CEST
Hello All, I wanted to post to see if I can get some feedback on maybe where to make some changes. I am mostly happy with my track but I feel like it needs a little something different/extra. I used patcher to create an instrument and while I am familiar with patcher, I don't think I've ever used it...

What exactly distinguishes your "feedback" from online bullying? Glad to know I'm not alone in this. Every track had its strengths. Nope, you're certainly not alone. Every track does have its strengths and one of the better aspects of the community here is that there is a focus on improve...

Hello All, This month I attempted to write lyrics inspired by the prompt and then build a song around that. I wasn't happy with the lyrics nor my ability to sing them. I ultimately decided to scrap them which was a tough decision but one that I think the track benefitted from. I also had too many el...

What is the sync thing? Appreciate the kind words, glad you like it ☺️ Sync licensing is basically submitting music to libraries/publishers that work with visual media like TV, Movies, Video games etc. If an editor picks your track (or even a portion of the track) to "sync" to the media, ...

Man, that bass is so good, well done.The whole track is ear candy, actually. The reprise of the melody at the end with the whole panned alarm thing was really cool. There's not much that sticks out to me as far as improvements. Maybe tame the highs a bit? IDK. If you're not doing the sync thing, yo...

Hello Everyone, For this month, I started out thinking about the prompt which led me to write some lyrics about a cyclical toxic relationship in which things were 'built up' just to be 'torn down'. I then used that to inform the intro and the breakdown in the middle of the song. However, I never was...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC079 March 2024 - Winners announced
BenjiRage So I gave your track a proper listen, and despite my 'dislike' for the 80's (lol) it's a really solid track. I don't actually dislike the 80's, I just don't like when it's a recreation of that sound. Like when an artist does a 1 to 1 cover of a song. If you aren't going to add anything ne...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC079 March 2024 - Winners announced
Thank you everyone for your invaluable feedback. I have to admit it was a little disheartening to be overlooked by Arelem (I don't know whether this was intentional, but I know you're not the biggest fan of the 80s sound! :lol:); nevertheless @FixInTheMix you are a very worthy winner and your submi...

Hello All, This month I learned a little more about the subgenres of synthwave. I am not a fan of the straightforward "80's inspired" genre, but some of the off-shoots I found really enjoyable. I'm a little disappointed that so many reviews seem to be as stringent as they were with their i...

Not sure if I'll make the deadline but I'll get my feedback/vote in after work today. Was hoping to get it done this weekend but classes took longer than I would have liked.
