Hi Everyone, The sky was the limit this month and I think we reached it and enjoyed it! I hope you find something useful in my thoughts. SoundBeing - "Don't Bail" Nice rock opening, some “When the levee breaks” inspiration perhaps. Cool haunting vocal melody, and voice! Heard some beautifu...

Hi all! I started this composition by adding some psychedelic ingredients to a list: Myxolydian Riff Dramatic harmonic transitions Big dynamic changes Crazy guitar solo Tempo change / half-time This genre seemed like a good one to try and steer clear from a standard pop song shape (which I often def...

Hi all, Mixing instrumental music really has its own set of challenges. I definitely picked up some new approaches during this mix. Here's the link to my mix: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11HpLsW82kA98mrLPwlfDoLPtWY5m2lOd/view?usp=sharing What I noticed in the original mix and what turned out to ...

Hi all, I guess you've all got some new tricks up your sleeve by making these tracks. Here are my thoughts on your productions. May they be helpful to you in any way. DSPPlug Nice and scarce production, so the harmonic instruments that are present have maximum impact. The vocal could really use more...

Hi fellows, The song: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-RH3U90KLQSJjhWH-ZaBJYvgFBAB3Q8y/view?usp=sharing For this SWC I separated the sound design from composition. Starting with the first I put the samples in different categories: Tonal, Voice, High Frequencies, Hits, noisy textures. From there I m...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC040 December 2020 - Winners announced

Huh, funny how it goes. This is my third SWC entry and the one I felt least pleased and confident about. Nice not being the sole judge of my own work :)

I would like to choose the Luftrum Lunaris.

Hope you all have a nice sample flipping month!

@Blang About Paul Speer: I swear I never - ever - heard about him. And yes, I guess my song does sound a little bit like the one you pointed out, but I was completely unaware of it's existence. I like to listen to Vangelis, Jarre and Enya and I know a couple of songs from Kitaro and Yanni. And I re...

Hi All, I hope you have a nice new age and find something useful in the feedback! Doc Jon "The Meaning Of Life" Yeah, sweet swung beat! Reminiscent of a 90's drumloop, but with a modern hiphop feel and sound. All elements seem very fitting to the genre. I especially, dig the plucked lead s...

Hi everyone, Here is my submission for Round 2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_B9MSGvRhrqMpdNSEg5Ji_3jV77CAH97/view?usp=sharing Before making any alterations I listened to the mixes that made Round 2, made some notes and compared these to the client suggestions. I did this to try if could distill...
