Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC080 April 2024 - Winners announced

BenjiRage Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, I agree with the intro and low end. Ultimately I wanted to set a mood for what I felt represented the brief. In the end it turned into a bit of a long intro. Low end has always been a struggle for me. VSX helps me get closer, but the reality is I've forgot...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC080 April 2024 - Winners announced

The selection is in order of the podium. If nobody picks Luftrum prior to you, then things can be sorted out. I just now read the tiered picks section of the rules. Sorry I jumped the gun, here. Excitement and all. I'm still getting a feel for the flow and etiquette of the forum. My newby mistake :...

WOW! This was really cool, and so much fun. Thank you for the opportunity! Congrats to everyone! I really appreciate the feedback on my track. I have revisited this song 3 different times since initial upload, and tried to address some of the issues mentioned. It's fascinating everyone's take on the...

What exactly distinguishes your "feedback" from online bullying? You said what we're all thinking. I came here to receive and give constructive, actionable feedback (to my best ability). The last vote contained none of that. If I wanted mean spirited, and ultimately trite comments about m...

This is my first time back to the community after a long hiatus and some significant life stuff. After starting a new job, moving, and a bit of a health scare, I had little time for studio things. Skills atrophied and I basically started over. All good now. Well... My mixing skills are awful right n...

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.
