My experience this month: This month, I had some time on my hands from the beginning of the contest, and it really helped. I usually need a lot of time to play around with different ideas before deciding in which direction to go. This month, I had a clear idea what kind of song I wanted to write an...

I would agree with the previous comments and your changes have certainly improved the track. I think the clarinet lead sound could still benefit from a bit more expression, even more vibrato and a small amount of delay would make it sound a little less synthetic :) I made some changes to the song t...

Hello and welcome!
Your drums hit really hard, but I'd dial them back a little in favour of the vocals. They deserve to get more attention and therefore a spot more in the foreground of the mix.

here's my (WIP) track for this month's SWC. it's a little ditty called "LEDs." nothing like a little heartbreak for the holidays! I like the mood of the song. The bell-like sounds in the first verse (starting around 01:09) seem a bit too loud compared to the vocals. It works better in the...

... with lots of distorion, delay/echo....as if the sound is clipping...that is intentional, I like that weird broken-down sound. The rest (piano / beat) evolved around it. This is a W.I.P. ....needs some more work. My two cents: It starts beautifully, but I'm not a fan neither of the trap beat nor...

One of my recent experiments in making lo-fi chillout music is now put in the right context. I still experiment with those sounds, so you may tell me if there is too much processing. It is a beautiful soundscape. The only thing that feels off for me is the intro, because it sounds like an intro to ...

... Hope it helps. 😊 I found your comments very helpful. Here are the changes I made for the final version: adjusted the loudness of the toms of the drum adjusted the timing and velocity of the horns and the clarinet added some more vibrato to the clarinet split the horns track in two, one for the ...

Hello everyone, first, thanks to Mr. Fox for organizing this competition. I really liked the theme and the picture you chose to inspire us. My experience this month: I had a lot of fun writing this month's song because I had a vague idea how to write a dreadful song. I knew I wanted deep bowed Basse...
