Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC097 April 2024 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation
Automation - the artistic / emotional part of mixing, leading the listener through the arrangement. We poor humans can't take in too much at once if there's a lot happening, but if our attention is drawn to one or two things at a time (in addition to the vocals, groove), we enjoy that, usually with...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC080 April 2024 - Winners announced
Hi everyone, My apologies, unfortunately I didn't get around to entering this month's SWC but thought I'd give everyone some bonus feedback anyway as you've all done a great job with your compositions and I've really enjoyed listening to them all. Welcome also to the new members this month. APi_ZZ -...

So, the rules can be summarised quite easily: - true peak: -1dB max (and -6dB min to avoid a bit depth drop) - integrated LUFS: -16dB max I feel I should mention that the integrated LUFS limit shouldn't strictly be written as -16dB, but -16 LUFS only. While it's true that 1 loudness unit is 1dB (IE...

Hi everyone It's great to be back participating in the challenges this month. A Future in Noise , thank you for doing the honours and keeping the challenge alive. The song is a fantastic arrangement and when everything is put together it truly comes alive with a 70s vibe, so this is the sound I aime...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC079 March 2024 - Winners announced
@BenjiRage So I gave your track a proper listen, and despite my 'dislike' for the 80's (lol) it's a really solid track. I don't actually dislike the 80's, I just don't like when it's a recreation of that sound. Like when an artist does a 1 to 1 cover of a song. If you aren't going to add anything n...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC079 March 2024 - Winners announced
I'm not sure how I managed to miss your entry; sorry about that. I listened through my phone (sounded good there) but I'll give it a proper listen when I get home. Ah don't worry about it, I'm just glad to know it wasn't intentional and it did provide some pretty cool jeopardy and excitement to the...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC079 March 2024 - Winners announced
Thank you everyone for your invaluable feedback. I have to admit it was a little disheartening to be overlooked by Arelem (I don't know whether this was intentional, but I know you're not the biggest fan of the 80s sound! :lol:); nevertheless FixInTheMix you are a very worthy winner and your submiss...

It's been great to get back in the action this month. I wasn't completely sure if I'd have my track finished in time as I was still frantically bouncing mixes and tweaking things yesterday evening. Even now I listen back and hear things I want to tweak further. So that's definitely a take away for m...

Hi all, long time no post! Apologies for my recent absence, it's been a bit of a crazy and turbulent year so far and I haven't been able to find the time to enter any of the last few song or mix challenges. However, when I saw that this month's theme was Synthwave I just had to make some time and ha...
