WIP

Looking at the picture I thought of a record I used to play like a milion times long ago. So many times that it started to crackel and all the music sounded like it was coming through an old speaker. I realised that the sound of an old worn out record has a kind of character I realy like. That was t...

Hi JR,

I can't open your file without asking for permission. Could you please change the link so I can listen to your mix?

Thank you!

Cheers,

Hi All, I was wondering if the song provider could give us a bit more information about the original mix of the song. The song provider mentions in the notes that "I had to work hard to make it sound like it does in the original mix". I'm particularly interested in how the guitars and dru...

JeroenZuiderwijk This reminds of some pc music game like Pro Evolution Soccer 5 or a racing game. I really like the drive and the pace. It is nice to hear different genres mixed into your entry. The growl bass thing at the very beginning is pretty cool. Like you mentioned, the overall chord progres...

Hi All, Just having a look at the source files and I'm a bit confused by what's going on with the guitars. I've read the note explaining what's happening: guitartrack 01 - rythm track with ampsim (no clean track available) guitartrack 02 - rythm track DI guitartrack 05 - rythm track, same as 02 wit...

Oh, the dilemma... Play by the rules in regards to volume specs or go for it.... Seems like nearly all of the wild cards are clearly violators... Makes since, right? Louder sounds better! :hmmm: No worries, I"ll listen to all the mixes at the same volume. So there is no advantage in mixing ext...

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

What I would like is to do a challenge exactly the opposite of this month challenge. Everybody gets the same standard chordprogression but the musicstyle is free to decide. i think it is realy interesting to hear the different approaches with the same starting point. It could be as simple as a stand...

The songwriting challenge realy helps in thinking outside of the box. This month even more. I had to download a random chord generator because I never used one. At first it took me a while to play something that I could use but when I let go of the direction I wanted it to go and just went with the ...

Finally I think I made it to get the correct loudness settings. In addition I did some minor changes and could remove a disturbing background sound. Reuploaded to soundcloud. Sounds much cleaner now. https://soundcloud.com/orpheusxl/the-day-when-my-heart-broke?si=21eeb18120a54c5299355803662a7e3c&am...
