Mix Challenge

Why are there two different keyboards at the beginning; one with significantly more distorted sound than the other? (Or sometimes slow attack?) It's because I added an automation track of Cableguys Halftime throughout the whole track and blended it with the original piano chords which creates this ...

Very unusual chord progression and melody structure overall ... Thanks. Because I really try to avoid writing songs that are built according to formula 1A. Hopefully it's the chord progression in the first chorus you think of (?) It looks like this: | E minor | B major | E minor, C major | A minor,...

Hello, Edit: I forgot to copy the complete feedback, one participant was missing. :face: I apologise. This month I learned the importance of the key of a song when composing. At a certain point I was looking if I could transpose the song because the lowest bass note I used was a Bb 0 and I couldn’t ...

Hello, I haven't participated for a while now, lot of things and changes happened in the last few months. Anyway, I listened to a lot of soulful/liquid DnB music recently, so I decided to go into this direction. I first made a typical DnB drum groove and used Scaler 2 to create a chord progression I...

Hello, It's been a while since my last entry. Thanks to Christoph_K for this track. I tried to set myself a time limit of 90 minutes to finish this mix and to rely more on the gut feelings. I made the mix with UAD Luna and used the Studer 800 extension on both kick tracks, the Oxide tape extension o...

Congratulation to all participants, really strong entries this month. What I learned this month: I´m more efficient for SWC when just starting right before deadline, not spending more than a few hours for everything I think this month showed that I´m pretty much done with producing „lofi hip hop“ my...

Hey there, this is my entry for this month: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gzS_1ewtfSMyW-x5mducdoComlU0Fs3N/view?usp=sharing I wanted to create an energetic song with some distorted guitars in the "hook", a live recording feeling of my Roland TD 17 module and 3/4 or 6/8 drum groove. Whil...

Hey there, What I learned this month: I have a better understanding of my own emotional connection to music. And it is not always easy to give constructive feedback because music is so dependent on your preferences and expectations. Another difficulty is the language, this takes much more time and e...

Hi, I almost forgot about the challenge :shock: I did this today in a few hours and I'm happy I could finish it. All instruments are Arturia Modular V3, the bass is a combo of Bassynth and Sublab. I don't really know what I was going for, I just tried to mix old and modern sounds and did some afro c...

Singing is good, but could benefit from tuning here and there, it is off on „too many“ occasions. Please just let me know if the need for vocal tuning is in the prechoruses or elsewhere. (I could agree that the first syllables in the bridge feels somewhat “tentative”.) Excuse me, I should’ve been m...
