It's a start, yes... Have you ever considered maybe "upgrading" your music equipment? From Magix Music Maker to maybe "Essentials" versions of Cubase, Studio One or even Reaper? And even if you don't want to switch DAWs, Magix Music Maker can apparently load custom VST plugins. ...

Interesting approach, @APi_ZZ. However, you should definitely work on the volume fluctuations, as these feels a bit jumpy in places. Just to create a more mellowed out listening experience. I would also like to hear/read more about your used equipment. You are right, especially the strings come alo...

This round's theme Scaffold gets the meanings of framework and structure in my little musical attempt. I picked two chordstructures (one in F maj [ F ], one in D# min [ d ], four bars each, BPM = 85), set up a simple song scheme of some repetitions of F , then some from d , repeat. Within that schem...

What did I learn? As with the previous competitions, I realise that my will is too low to dive deep into original composing and creating chords, melodies and sounds from scratch. As this entry of mine shows, I have fun editing and combining loops, usually not shying from adding extra melody or FX. ...

TrojakEW I use rows of samples with lengths of up to several bars, so the term loops is totally fitting as well. No tools are in use besides basic DAW manipulations (pitch shifting, time stretching and FXing like reverb or EQing). There then are ten tracks with finally some simple mixing applied (v...

This challenge is different. At least on my side of it. First : Considering myself more of a proghead (uh? synthwave , what's up?), I realised (by a serious look on my HD) that I own tons of albums considered (somehow) related to synthwave. Well, then that ain't bad at all. Next , another look on my...
