Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC066 February 2023 - preparation phase

Should I just choose my personal top 5? Yes, you need to choose your personal top 5 favorite tracks. Should I put them in descending order or give some amount of points to each? Yes, the top 5 in your opinion in descending order like 1st, 2nd and so on. And where should I put this result? And where...

Hello All, Here is what I have so far. I'm still trying to think of ways to improve it, but I wanted to see what you all thought. The lyrics are very tongue-in-cheek 'complaining' about the minor inconveniences in life. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mJIz4LCJ40EdD7R2v5Ubr4XYJWWs8he_/view?usp=shar...

Yea I personally feel SWC rules are fairly simple and clear to me: - Compose specifically for this contest - Try to compose for the theme/genre, but put your own signature twist to it - Don't use audio you don't own the rights to - Name your files correctly - Vote and give feedback to all - Meet the...

You've been bringing this topic up the second month in row now. No. Regarding royalty stuff, the information is still beyond comprehension to me. I thought you could never use royalty stuff, unless you pay royalty. What Mister Fox meant is you should not "rip" or "use" audio or ...

Well done everyone :clap: and huge hanks to Mister Fox for organizing this competition :tu:

Given that this production was done in about 5-6 hours, I'm quite ecstatic about the outcome. Thanks to all those who enjoyed my song :hug:

I'd like the Luftrum Lunaris as my prize please.

Now, this is more suitable for me. Last month competition was tough and I didn't manage to get a song that I liked. But it seems my vibe is more towards chill sounds. I created this starting from drums and I had this melody in my head and just stacked more instruments around it. This it's what I go...

I think all of you stepped-up and came up with very interesting stuff. As always, since interpretation of themes/genres is clearly very subjective , please also take my comments with a grain of salt. But I'd like to say that I put in a lot of effort in studying about the new themes/genres to unders...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC036 August 2020 - Voting until 03-SEP-2020 23:59 UTC+2/CEST

I wonder if there's any point following the competition brief/theme/genre while composing songs for this community, looking at the feedback :D One of the reasons I rarely participate here anymore. But given that I made my track in less than 5 hours, I think I didn't waste much of my time. Anyway. Al...
