Mix Challenge

Many congratulations to Doc Jon and bpackard . They deservedly finished at the top of the podium. It's been a long time since I've chosen an award, but this time I'd like to go for the Musiclab Realrick guitar. Thanks to Mister Fox for organizing, and of course thanks to everyone for the good songs,...

Hi all. For me, the hardest thing this month was to start the song :) I searched around within the industrial style, but it took a long time to get some skeleton. I definitely wanted to use vocals for demo purposes: it doesn't have to sound good, but it has to show a layer of what I have in my head....

Hi all, it's been a tough month. I sometimes use these free genre months for experimentation rather than creating in my favourite genres. Like others, I was first inspired by the images to create an industrial genre. From the pictures I imagined a dark, very intense and moving music. I think the mai...

Congratulations to the podium finishers and to everyone who participated in the competition. Keep up the good work.

Hi all, I had to do a lot of research on how to create an authentic retro/synthwave style song. I listened to songs, watched tutorial videos, tried to play with the software synthesizers available to me, which reproduce the sound of the era. This exploration and learning phase was perhaps the most i...

Hi I haven't listened to much synthwave so far, but now I've tried to join the nostalgia month. I experimented with the synthesizers until I finally managed to get almost every track to be played by a different synthesizer. It may not be very elegant, but that's how it was done. :) I stuck to the tr...

it's a game changer, because it sets a good basic mix you can start from. Thank you for your reply and for sharing your experience. I think I should give it a try because I don't think I can make perfect mixes yet. :) I think for me it will be particularly useful for songs with few synthesizers and...

Thank you for participating in this month's competition, thank you to the organiser @Mister Fox.
Congratulations to all the winners and I am glad that everyone did a good job.

It was an interesting month for me. What did I learn? Mostly that I have to somehow finish a song by the deadline even if I don't like what I'm doing at all :) My songwriting process started with a chord progression, first an emotional version at 70 BPM, then it became a cheesy duet at 120 BPM. I ac...

Hi all, Here is my entry for February, apologies in advance for the slightly cheesy Eurovision style song and mostly lyrics :wink: The phrases "take a step, move forward" are at the heart of the song, only in a duet (SynthV Kevin and Solaria) and the theme is - of course - love. :hug: Simp...
