I've been out doing a number of other things but it's always nice to come back to make a soothing lo-fi track. at least, that's what i call this piece. everyone has a slightly different take on the genre. https://soundcloud.com/anotherbenjamin/good-morning-dust The main chimes sample was performed b...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC031 March 2020 - results in preparation

Touché :clap: I definitely don't know every language. If you have a choice behind the lyrics I totally respect that. If you choose to not use language at all, that has its own place, too. O Fortuna may be somewhat incomprehensible (evidenced by that great video) but when you pair it with the actual ...

All those epic tracks with choir spoke nonsense. :hihi: I'm fine with it when everything is drowned out by 8 french horns anyway, but in a cozier chill track it feels weird to clearly hear words and yet not be able to make sense of them. To me it feels moderately lazy, but you can mark it up to per...

In case anyone is interested: there were a wide variety of comments about my tune, so I'll put out some more details. The beginning and ending "moonlight" sections are in 12edo, but my vocals aren't always in tune. I didn't want to clean out the relaxed feeling by autotuning it or trying t...

I'm throwing the genre out the window here as long as it's c h i l l . The voting was an absolute mess, but I did like all of the tracks presented. Doc Jon - "Back To Bird" Nice tune! Almost too energetic, but really relaxing and pleasant in its own way. My only main complaint is that ever...

Re: Community Scramble (SWC029) - Sample Collection Thread - Submissions until 21-12-2019 11:59pm GMT+1/CET

I can assure you that there is at least one person interested in the Community Scramble game! I pulled together a small set of samples. You asked for three per person so I have selected three samples. All things considered, three samples might be all one needs to make music. I personally am not as w...

I might hop back in for the next community scramble; I'm leafing through my recordings to pick some of the weirdest ones. Hard to pick only 3. I'm also spreading the word about this one to some other communities- hopefully we see some new faces and new samples! small note of small consequence: The S...

EatMe - Woopi groovy, fun, but it doesn't have a lot of structure to it. I think that having a more distinct B section would greatly improve this as a song. DoctorBob - Elevating the Waltz :) it sounds a little under the reverb, but all in all it's a nice song and a nice performance. OlliH - LiftMeU...
