Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC080 April 2024 - Submissions until 24-APR-2024 23:59 UTC+2/CEST

There are three instrumental lines: The piano for the percutive main line, strings for atmosphere and winds for different purposes. I like the tone, urgency and sparsity of the piano and strings are a whole vibe. I like the no structure thing as it plays well as an underscore track. Only thing I fe...

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, ...

I have been really into the mid-tempo inspired genres and also I've been having a lot of fun sound designing my own basses instead of relying on presets. 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 thi...

@bpackard The easiest way is (or would have been) to go to your Soundcloud track, go to Edit there, from the menu ( Basic info / Metadata / Permissions / Advanced ) pick Permissions , and there enable the direct download option ... Andreas (APi_ZZ) Thanks! Went ahead and enabled it there as well.

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC080 April 2024 - Submissions until 24-APR-2024 23:59 UTC+2/CEST

You are right, especially the strings come along way to harsh. I replaced the legato strings with some having less attack, and the spizzicatos got an ambient envelope (that is an FX setting my DAW Music Maker offers for vocals). My equipment just is Music Maker as DAW, running on a PC with Win10. A...

SWC080 bpackard (BPACK) Title: Framework (TL;DR) This is a spooky, trailerish track with a bunch of metal hits and bits. Hi, y’all! Been a while. BPACK is the name I use to release my tracks. Not sure if I can change my username here, but I didn’t want to take any chances and cause confusion when su...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC057 August 2019 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

i admit that i do not know all the rules. i haven't read even 1 mixing note, to be honest. This is my second challenge here. The first was "ghost limb" which was disqualified because I used source material to enhance other parts of the song (without changing the structure), so it ventured...
