Mix Challenge

I'm sorry to call your attention like this, Mister Fox , over the weekend, but this is one thing I'm having a hard time trying to push aside: My own song sounds worthless if I plug my headphones directly into the computer's output. Everything else sounds like it should! However, if I use my external...

listened to your entry on headphones (using my laptop's sound card) and through laptop speakers and it sounds fine to me!

Thanks! (But I still wonder about this, I have a quite expensive laptop. But I won't call for admin during Christmas.)

Hello guys! I just discovered that my submission sounds utterly strange (bad) if I connect my headphones directly to my laptop's output, instead of using the external soundcard the way I usually do. The strange thing is that I listened to four or five of your entries just before, and they sounded pe...

The WIP version is gone, and a new version has been uploaded. Rather different.

EDIT: I made yet a new version a few minutes ago. It's this ten minutes to two pm CEST that's the definitive one.

[EDIT:] It's now possible to download a document directly from the website. It's a shorter version, however, 31 pages instead of 62. [/EDIT] I received an email from a company/site called Mastering The Mix a week or so ago. It concerns a competition that deals with "stem mastering". In add...

Doc Jon Seen from a rhythmic point of view, your submission is appealing. Also, there's a very melancholic feel to the chorus, which goes well with the sadness of AI and therapy. But there is one thing that makes it very difficult to judge your entry: I can hardly hear your vocal job at all. Even i...
