Yes, you're absolutely right with that. Those technical terms and theories start to disappear from my mind, so in future I have to be more careful with my words.
Sorry for pointing that out. That was not an elegant move on my part :oops:

... but no matter how many times I listen to the new song from 1:44-, I don't like something ... To be honest, I agree with you (that specific bar). But I don't know exactly what it is either. Now that you've been discussing it I also checked that part. As if the singer and keyboard goes along with...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC060 August 2022 - results in preparation

Intro is two bars too long. Cut the last two bars. Very true, that's already fixed. From 0:43 – 0:48 I really don't understand the harmonic progression here (”day by day”); the tones from the double bass seems not to fit together with the guitar, the pizzicato violin (if that's what it is) and voca...

Thanks again for you detailed reply. The thing is: This second chorus starts with a C major as first chord, instead of C minor. Hence lyrics/vocals is performed differently.

Hello, Nice song! The guitar parts have some nice accents to them that help them sound more realistic. I will say the way they're processed makes it a bit difficult to differentiate from the ePiano at times (especially with chords). I really like the track after it picks up from about 2:45 on. Befo...

Feedback : Arelem - Ether Good structure with good use of build ups and arrangement. Simple but catchy melody. Good mix with very good sound placement. Not much to add. Haplos - Passenger Simple structure. Simple melody. A tad repetitive The drop at 316 coud be soften. Same for the ending. The main ...

Updated submission for Atar 8K50
  • Added jet engine sounds for clearer transitions (Atar 8K50 is not deep sky object)
  • Added autopanned sampled eGTR for added variation
Further update might occur later. Thanks to all who gave me early feedback.
