Mix Challenge

Hello everybody, my first idea for this month was to write some industrial electronic music with lots of reverb, but I soon realized that I have no connection to that genre. My second ideas was based on a pun ("SKA-fold") :face: and tempted me to try to write a Ska song with silly lyrics a...

Hello everybody, this month, I really had fun with the task. In hindsight, I should have picked a different lead synth. This one was supposed to bring a chip tune vibe to the song, but this doesn't really fit the atmosphere of the chord sounds. I also got a lot of valuable feedback for the drums, an...

Hello everybody, though I grew up in the Synthwave era, I have no experience with writing Synthwave music myself, except maybe for my first entry in SWC055 (May 2022, Theme "Synth Racks, Patches and Cables"). https://mix-challenge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=12873#p12873 The vocoder part is ...

I was wondering, does the AYAIC Mix Monolith help much in mixing? I've been lazy to try it myself so far :), putting one instance on each track, adjusting, etc. Is it worth the effort? If you know what you're doing in a mix, you don't need it. For me, who has no mixing experience, it's a game chang...

Hello everyone, My experience this month: I experimented with WA Production's Instacomposer 2 this month. Usually, I play around on the keyboard until I find a sequence of chords that I like. This time, I used Instacomposer 2 to generate a chord sequence for the verse/chorus and another one for the ...

ADDITIONAL DOWNLOAD : The following is an experiment to see how many of you would rather prefer a "global download" of all files (after feedback I received behind the scenes). This is basically a copy of all the links above, just in collected form. The collection only features files provi...

Hello everybody, I could not finish my song, I consider it still as "work in progress". There should be a vocal about how it is OK to go step by step, but how you sometimes need to take a leap of faith to get ahead. The lyrics are not finished yet. To enter the song anyway, I recorded some...

My experience this month: This month, I had some time on my hands from the beginning of the contest, and it really helped. I usually need a lot of time to play around with different ideas before deciding in which direction to go. This month, I had a clear idea what kind of song I wanted to write an...

I would agree with the previous comments and your changes have certainly improved the track. I think the clarinet lead sound could still benefit from a bit more expression, even more vibrato and a small amount of delay would make it sound a little less synthetic :) I made some changes to the song t...
