To me "hook" means something happenening very quickly, within one or two bars. I like my chorus, but to me it's soothong, for some strange reason, despite the lyrics.

You're right, I was using the term hook wrong. Sorry about that.

The Exponent – I really like it. I do think it could benefit from more in the sub frequency range. The bass is really only in the low to mid-lows. Maybe layer in a pure sub layer with the bass to give it more low end. Hey man, thanks for the valuable feedback, really appreciate it! The basses do ha...

Maybe put some more distinction on the hook, is wasn’t initially sure if the song had a hook until I took a closer listen. Where is the hook? (I apologize for being extremely brief, myself, in my comments. But I simply didn't have the energy this month. Still think I followed the rules.) By hook I ...

Hello All, I spent a couple of hours listening and typing out my feedback but when I went to submit, I was met with a message about website maintenance and lost it all. I am not going to have time to go back through everything and provide feedback before the deadline so sorry everyone. Really tough ...

Hello Everyone, For this month's challenge, the image made me think of Nickleback's Photograph. With that in mind, I decided to write a rock/metal track. I didn't really stick to any theme beyond that; I just took that initial impression and ran with it. I know I'm well above the LUFS target; if I g...

Hello Everyone, This month I had some fun messing with chordz again. It was something that I used to use a good bit, but that I moved away from. I'm not sure that this will get me back into it because it's a little wonky to route in FL Studio. I also tried making some lo-fi hip-hop which isn't somet...

Here is some feedback regarding the mixes: @Arelem Snare could be more in the front, I'm missing the punch. I consider your entry as Hip Hop-is Lofi sound, so I want that "smack" on the drums. Kick could be a bit more clearer and separated from the bass, I would scoop the bass by 2-3db in...

Hello All, I used chorz to 'generate' some chords for me. The main progression is being strummed out in the guitar parts. I also have a synth playing the chords with some inversions and added 5th or 7th notes. The progression I ended up with is F#min i VII i v III VII i v. The track is lofi-esque bu...

I just want to say thanks to everyone as well as congratulations. This was a super competitive month and everyone did great. As for Treyt nah man, don't be weirded out. It's a contest and you played it better so you won. The bonus points are part of it. Besides that, you had a great entry. Really, a...

Actually, not counting the penalty deduction, you "missed out" on 5 points, @Arelem. 1pt lost because of the filename that Soundcloud provided me. 2pts each for the maximum signal peak going over -1dBTP, and the loudness being higher than -14LUFS 1pt penalty for your entry not being downl...
