Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC079 March 2024 - Winners announced
Wow! :hyper: I'm pleasantly surprised. I thought BenjiRage had it in the bag. To be fair, I think any of those on the podium could be first in my books. This was a lot of fun; I think it's not a secret that I love this genre. Thank you all for your kind words and feedback. I've already added reverb ...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC079 March 2024 - Voting until 01-APR-2024 23:59 UTC+2/CEST
I am thrilled to be participating again. This is one of my favorite genres of electronic music, and it goes hand in hand with sci-fi, which is my favorite genre of literature and film. Usually, I tend to go for a heavier and more distorted sound, like artists such as Carpenter Brut. However, this ti...

in the section from 2:53 to the end every second kick loses its impact, I'm not sure if this is intentional? Otherwise, top work. You´re right! It was not intentional :face: I had to bounce down some of the drum tracks to audio to reduce CPU usage and make some edits. It seems that Reaper's auto cr...

I'm so late, as usual, because I've been struggling to finish this track for the last few days. I wanted to find the perfect reference to guide the overall sound and vibe of the Synthwave genre, which can be pretty diverse. After some time, I decided to borrow some ideas from Robert Parker's "R...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC092 June 2023 - Mix Round 2 until until 25-JUL-2023 23:59 UTC+2/CEST
Almost forgot to post this :face: Thank you for choosing my mix for round 2. Followed the feedback as best as I could: - brought down the overall drums and added some more volume automation for the instrumental sections. - reduced the width of the panning for the banjo and added automation during fi...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC070 June 2023 - Winners announced
Thanks to all of you for your feedback, I will keep it in mind for further tweaks down the line. Congratulations to @Doc Jon and VCA-089 I'm guessing that since one of the MusicLab guitars has already been selected as prize I wouldn´t be allowed to pick a different one right? If that`s the case then...

I always try to use this challenge as an excuse to try doing new things, in this case, it was a genre I'm not really familiar with so I spent a lot of time trying to research the most common tropes, chord progression, sounds, etc. I can´t say I`m completely satisfied with the end result but at least...

I decided to go for a Lofi/chill beat since is heavily predominant for these kinds of videos, at least is the first thing that comes to mind. I managed to use some nice tricks like tape stop effects, DJ scratching, and some ambiance backgrounds to give the track more life. Instruments: For drums, I ...

Glad to be back I used this month´s challenge as an opportunity to try mixing with an emphasis on maximizing loudness and I´m pretty happy with the results. I also edited some takes to further polish the final result (pitch correction and time adjustments) although the raw files were already great. ...
