Hi, apparently I have to request access to check the feedback. Can you set it so everyone can see it?

Hi, I don't think I can do it from my phone. But anyway I did not mention you in the feedback sektion, it isn't required to mention the same five guys again, as the five ranked ones.

I would have thought, though, that anyone who is logged in to his Google account can see the dokument?

How about this link:

This is definately my last attempt with this weird invention (smartphone). It's consuming so much time that I hardly managed to write any feedback at all

But if canese gets disqualified
after the late voting timeline just because they are not back in time, the 3 points I'd given them just get lost for the other participants?
That's how the game goes. You can not know beforehand, who will participate in the feedback period and who doesn't. You give feedback and cast a vote based upon the given rule set. If a user decides to drop out, then the lower participants just move up. This is why I also asked participants to not change their vote anymore, since the deadline has been reached.

The feedback is a bit sparse, but I can access it now on both a mobile device, and on the big rig. Wasn't the case until the last time you posted.
But we can work with that, if writing it out in textform is not an option right now (I'm making an exception here)

Well, OK. I would not want to change my vote based on eventualities, but I feel this is a disadvantage compared to the old voting system: No points for those who didn't make it into the TOP 5, no matter how close they were to making it.

I don't see a disadvantage. Currently, the points are fairly well populated. Being low on the chart can always happen.
Not only that, keep in mind that by submitting something in the first place, you already "won" (hence me being disappointed by "removed" entries this month rather than keeping the entry online, and be listed as "withdrawn"). Some people just join to "write music". The vote/score chart mechanic is for having the chance to acquire some bonus licenses. Your entry is being showcased one way or the other.

I'm sorry for being late and also for not providing much documentation. I was just not in the mood, I guess. It's been just meh days with a lot of work and not much music. I want to participate every month; for me, it's the perfect excuse for making music. The only thing is: that I have other things in mind as well, and I'm bad at saying no to those. I'm always learning and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to share my art with you.
Here's my feedback, I tried to point out the things that my ear heard the first impression.
► Show Spoiler
Arelem"Apathetic"
I love the vibe. It suits my mood very well. The only thing that lacks is a human lyric and it will be 10/10.
madmax
"Quadrophenias Dreams"
THis is quite unique. It has nice groove and very strange melodies and harmonies but I like it, Very psychodelic and takes you on a trip. How do you even come to this? it's just jamming? or there's a logic behind it?
Mellow Browne
"DeLorean"
I love synthwave! Nice timbres and groove. I thing the mix can improve, specially the low end it lacks fullness. The highs also can be a little bit more saturated or with more air (+10k hz). reminds me a lot of kandinsky and it certainly will benefit of some distorted vocals with heavy chorus.

"The Day When My Heart Broke"
Great for a videogame track! I will definetly lower that bass volume and attack, it's too prominent. BUt melodies and rhythms are great, very jazzy and unique. Maybe adding a little more wing in the drums, making some elements less in the grid will help the groove and make it more human.
JeroenZuiderwijk
"RockChord"
Lower end has a rumble that bothers the song. The rest is excelnt, maybe making it more human will help the groove carry the song on. Everything is on the grid and straight. But I like the timbre of the guitar, very nice.
KukoBass
"Wonders"
I like the voice timbre and intention. But it lacks of processing, maybe some EQ: cutting the low-mids and adding some brightness. Compression also will help, because some words are very loud compare to other ones. And an autotune doesn't hurt if it's subtle.
THe rest of the backing track is good. I like the melancolic feeling I get and to my memory comes some portishead. Good stuff!
EsteveCorbera
"AI - Clickedu"
Very odd timbres, song seems like a mix of many elements but not very well blended together, some of the timbres are organic and lush and others are synthetic and crude. I ilke the structure, and harmony. But the lack of bass disorients me, i'm waiting someting to come but it des
juhu
"Mirror Image"
Excellent. This is very good indeed. I love the different elements and how they interact. The syncopation and groove, the rhythms are perfect. The only thing i would change is maybe EQing the trumpet to be little bit less harsh, sometimes it just takes all the spotlight.
Jorgeelalto
"NotQuite"
Nice DnB. I like the vibe and the feeling I get when listening, the build, the break, everything it's in the right place. Mix wise It seems to me the song is a little bit too dry and harsh in the upper mids. I want to have the same flow/timbre that i get with the low end and low mids. Finally, this is just a very solid track.
becsei_gyorgy
"Something To Happen"
Wow. Just great! THe track is very good. I cannot say much about. Only the man's voice seems little dry and upfront in comparison with the lady's voice. I will add some more reverb and put it a little bit behind. Make it more dreamy. And also the backing track seems a little bit overcompressed, it lacks of dynamic and breathing.
A Future in Noise
"TaDigSamman-1"
Good song, the structure and the vibe is there. But the timbres, groove maybe can be improved by real intruments and recording. The voice is good singing but it can be improved with some processing. Lol, the end!

It's the 03th April 2023, 04:25 (UTC+2/CEST) - the Voting Period extension
has officially ended.
Now everyone has sent in feedback and cast a vote, we therefore have no disqualification.
(and yes, even though
@canese was 7 minutes over, I'll... consider this a server glitch this month).
Please no more changes to your feedback from this point forward.
I will post the results within 2-3 days. (this is not an automated process)
Please have an eye on this thread
