Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC046 June 2021 - Submissions until 24-06-2021 23:59 UTC+2/CEST

I wanted my jam to be a guitar lead. So I laid down a few simple Casio grooves and then built upon that. I decided not to get too technical with the guitar. I just wanted to get some groovy takes until I found a nice line. The chorus is the only thing that I “wrote”. The rest is just some slappy, da...

Roger that. :tu:
I'm going to try SynthMaster Bundle 1 + 2

I don't have anything like this in my tool kit so we'll see how weird I can get on one of my next admissions. Thanks again!

Thanks to all those who took the time to listen and offer feedback and a special shout out to Mr. Fox for putting this whole thing on and keeping this site alive. I would also like to try the Voltage Modular Ignite with the license of "Year One Collection". It seems like a rabbit hole wort...

I listened to each song at least 2x. On different occasions to identify different things. 1st, my overall impression of what I heard and thought and then 2ndly to be more critical of anything mix wise, whether positive or negative. There was a lot of diversity and obviously we all have very differen...

Can you elaborate in your mix process/tips? Hey canese, Thanks for your kind words. I really spent a lot of time with this track. I cut up some Casio sounding drum fills and added variation with and without reverb. I agonized over the kick and snare sounds and I automated the reverbs to be heavy at...

Revision Alert. I hope this still meets the protocol. :?: Quick feedback to the entries. @SoundBeing -- quirky production. I like it, very oldschool. However, it feels a bit "empty", since you barely hear the drums (mostly only the snare), especially on small speakers. Same goes for the ba...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - What theme / genre would you like to see next?

Singer/Songwriter. Something that really puts people in a place of using their own personal experience to tell a story, with melody and chords. Sooo many genres cross into this genre. Why not make us say something with words and see how that goes?

This was indeed fun. I cross pollinated through some electronic genres with great joy. :grin: It was incredible to dip into https://music.ishkur.com/. I loved that and will revisit that continually from now on. https://www.dropbox.com/s/mehuwh0hvwo1oa6/SWC045_SoundBeing_Game%20Over.wav?dl=0 Instrume...
