Mix Challenge

For the most part, the entries displayed evidence of fundamental musical nescience that the kind of trivial “the kick is too loud”-type of advice would not bring them nearer to any sort of standard. Wow. If I read the rules right :educate: we are supposed to give constructive feedback, namely ... Y...

Hello everybody, my experience this month was that a good mix will take time, no matter, if I use mixing tools or not. I had only time for writing and producing at the beginning of the month. Then a new assignment started, and I had neither the time nor energy to work on the track. When the deadline...

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 ...

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...

Nice! I love the vocals and that the guitar in the solo is now more in the foreground.

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...
