Great work then, really like the production and creativity. Even though it feels a bit upper midrange heavy (which could due to the reverb, which is adding a lot to the overall sound). But that is just my personal opinion. I'm curious what others say - but I'm just as curious about more entries. :p...

Just for completeness sake, you talk about the "Generated WAV tones" for Sine, White Noise and Pink Noise, right? Really liking the production so far, nice work. Yes, I used the samples from the generated WAV tones folder. I made sure that everything was made using only the samples provid...

Hello Everyone, I had a lot of fun making this one. I am only a little familiar with in-depth sound design so I definitely had my work cut out for me there. I hope you like it, and good luck to everyone! https://soundcloud.com/user-57712292/swc053_arelem_closure-1?si=7dad6834e20c44679cd22499b9321556...

Hello, Great job everyone! This is a tough one for me to provide feedback on because it's not a style that I would normally do, but I'll try my best. A Future in Noise: The vocals sound great, as do the piano and guitar parts. The drums are also really nice and dynamic. I'm not sure if it's a synth ...

I sadly do not have much time to give feedback this month. Just some quick pointers, maybe: @Arelem Your production is fairly dry. Unless you want that "in your face" pop feeling, you can definitely experiment a bit more with reverb to make things a bit more spacious. Hint from my side......

Hello Everyone, Figured I'd take a crack at this. It's definitely out of my comfort zone. I went with a classical waltz and I think it turned out OK. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YtfLPr8fGNA216iuEKs1agkvRS_T1vcz/view?usp=sharing DAW used is FL Studio Instruments: The bass is a factory Kontakt in...

I'm surprised so many of you felt the drums were inhuman. Compared to actual metal bands I think they're pretty reasonable. For example

Especially #4 and #2 with regard to kick drums.

Great work everyone! All the submissions were good in their own right. Some I really struggle to give any feedback on because they really didn't need any. Anyway, here is my feedback. Esteve Corbera: The drums are exactly the same throughout and the lead is a little stiff. Not much of a melody so it...

alavault Thanks for the feedback. I tried layering different guitars and effects to get a more realistic sound. It can be pretty difficult to get an authentic guitar with 100% synthetic instruments. I think they turned out ok considering. EsteveCorbera Thanks for the feedback. The clicking and buzz...
