Mix Challenge

Hello everybody, first I'd like to thank Mr. Fox for organizing this and taking so much time to simulate a developer-writer-interaction. This is my final version of the song for this month's competition: https://soundcloud.com/kukobass/swc071-kukobass-newfrontierinthewest?si=310609edf7034ccc8b05b7ad...

My experience this month: This month, I had a hard time to get started. I lacked motivation and had no idea how to begin the song. I tried out different synths until I found the chord scheme while playing around with AAS Strum 2. Then I tried to vary the scheme and write a B-Part with different cho...

Thank you for your feedback. I wrote a trumpet solo for the middle of the song, made it louder, and doubled the trumpet on some notes with a second trumpet. I hope it makes the song a little more interesting to listen to.

To de-cheese it a bit (you know...make i t less cheesy...) I created a powerfull beat to make it more interesting for me to listen to. ... This is a WIP version. Maybe I will add some stuff or work more on the mix. I feel the low end of the mix is a bit too heavy. Any thoughts on that would we welc...

Happy Anniversary and looking forward to year 10!

Hello everybody, this is my entry for this month. The song is best heard on instant repeat as a loop. :phones: (Edit: Final Version) https://soundcloud.com/kukobass/swc070-kukobass-balearic-background The WAV version is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vun3wG3ky95ej2c4fGbNoRGG2ypJZOzi/view?usp...

Hello all! My experience this month: I found it pretty difficult at first to abandon my usual approach (go to my favourite instruments, fiddle around on the keyboard and build the song up from there). I clicked through several synthesizers and their sounds but found this pretty uninspiring. This cha...

Hello everybody, My experience this month: This month I learned that if you record live instruments, it would pay off not to rush the process to avoid record artifacts like fingers scratching on the strings, breathing, smacking, klicks, pops, dead notes and so on. Rushed recording equals long time e...

Hello everybody, this is my contribution for this month. I ran out of time to write the lyrics so the melody is played by the electric guitar. I'm quite happy with the structure of the song and the motifs, but not so much with my performance. Unfortunately, I ran out of time to do things properly. B...
