I think that the ideal length for the tune I'm working on would be something like 2 minutes and 30 seconds (plus/minus 10 seconds). I don't want to repeat and repeat – people might get bored. A ska tune is often rather straight forward and not too sophisticated. Looking at Spotify's "Essential...

Are you saying that you're passing on your prize if Mister Fox doesn't give feedback? If so, how long are you going to wait? :lol: :lol: Noo. I mean no prize for me. I just ask if Mister Fox have time to post few words on our tracks that is all. It is your turn now. Sorry. No worries, I just misund...

Congrats Doc Jon. :tu: Too bad that TheNeverScene and Square do not post their feedback and were disqualified. Prize for me - well I would like to see some comments for our tracks from Mister Fox if he have a time, otherwise I'll pass. Are you saying that you're passing on your prize if Mister Fox ...

Lots of really good submissions this month. I really wish everyone would have added the description of their story behind the song, though. I really wanted to judge the contest in part by listening to the song first, and trying to guess the story, then seeing how closely it matched. Doc Jon - Welcom...

I apologize for the ignorance, but what is RR? RR = round robin, which means that a different but similar sample fires every time you play a note (up to x times before it starts over again). Many libraries include it, though in some cases you need to make sure it's turned on, or the patch your usin...

This song was inspired by an early morning bike ride. It was very dark out - I had a light, but I nearly ran into some lady walking the other way, dressed in all black, who didn't have a light (??). I started thinking why she would be out like that, and for fun, I came up with a scenario where she w...

Rough mix completed, will look at perhaps adding a few more elements and fine tuning the arrangement before closing date https://soundcloud.com/docjon/welcome-home I like this overall - the buildup is really cool, the choirs sound amazing, and I like how the theme carries through. What bothers me i...

On the other hand the piano feels too repetitive and robotic. Agree. I ran out of time. I was planning on doing things like adding grace notes, and varying the velocity at the very least. I wonder if the sax sound's a bit midi. Yeah, though I was impressed that SaxLab had aftertouch growl. I though...

Canese - In sepia swell I'm feeling the hip-hop vibe here. I like the modern reverb wash effect. The bassline is great, and pulls everything together. The end doesn't match the mood of the song, though. Square - Finding my Footing This is an odd one. I love it (especially the stereo effects at :50,...

Just a simple song about being relaxed, but having some background mental tension as well. I tried not to overthink things, and just play what I was feeling. The name comes from the Internet term, TTL (Time To Live), which is a setting that governs how long data exists. https://soundcloud.com/gruska...
