Hi all, For this track the most fitting approach seemed to focus on groove and smoothness, rather than aggressive and very high energy. The mix: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hA0yt7H1qs4PCQlT6SXrOd7HyZ-h7CfM/view?usp=sharing Even though it’s a mostly electronic production, the vocal really carrie...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC075 April 2021 - Mix Round 2 in evaluation

That's a shame, I wasn't aware of the wild card in time. It seems like a good idea. @GmfSongs thanks anyhow for the feedback and I hope you find your mix.

Hey all! I hope you all found peace at the end of the chaotic tunnel. I reviewed the tracks on Composition, Brief and Production; in order of importance. dadomachado - Humpft Great title and start! I really dig all the times the band becomes one on the descending line. At 0:50 the groove gets a bitl...

Hi All, The track: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NN454MMBEPz8QeG7eAxvOaD_Cmb70Pad/view?usp=sharing Chaotic Jazz Fusion that drives you crazy. O yeah, time to shell out those odd time signatures, weird harmonies and scales that have been laying dormant for so long! :P For maximum chaos, I did want...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC075 April 2021 - Submissions until 21-04-2021 23:59 UTC+2/CEST

Hi everyone, Since the song, arrangement and lyrics are quite theatrical, I felt a dramatic mix would only be fitting. So I wanted to further contrast the different sections, giving each it’s own vibe. Le mix: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-tWalx6ztJ53zt5CO9eVaFG-Xk0nbpEs/view?usp=sharing Since i...

Hi peoples, Either I have a very different view on what is relaxing or people find it difficult to make a relaxing piece in these times (or perhaps some skipped over the brief :P). Anyhow, I have tried to provide you all with some insights that might be useful to you. TrojakEW - Nature Awakening Nic...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC043 March 2021 - Submissions until 24-03-2021 23:59 UTC+1/CET

Hi all, My advice is to listen to the track first and then read the description. Here is the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bGvjRHKz9NrtOPkKkxGyVSZc0WCMf1zY/view?usp=sharing The bulk of this composition is a 7 minute jam on my steel string guitar tuned in E G# C# G# B E.

Blang - Interplanetary Explanator You're doing something tricky with the time sigs on the guitar riff at (odd time against 4/4 drums, maybe?). gruskada Yeah, you're right! I was dialing in my guitar sound and this riff came to be. It just happened to be in 7/4, while my drumloop was still 4/4. I th...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC042 February 2021 - Winners announced

Thanks everyone for all your comments! I hope you came closer to the meaning of life :) The Tone2 Saurus2 is prize of my choice. I agree with the comments that 'real' drums would really give the track more life. I actually recorded drums, but didn't have the time to dail in the right sound and playi...
