”Gatekeeper”, Olli H https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aUkch0lUEZ268usMzJC1pj8o4WevnkCE/view?usp=sharing Wow, Olli, this is one of your best efforts as far as matching the music to the contest. It's really good as well. My only comment would be that the drums sound very fake in parts (though they ar...

Hehe i can recognize EastWest stuff at begining, nice intro. Did you performed those strings? Yeah, it is a very recognizable sound :smile: I still love using it, though. I performed the strings all with closed voicings, then modified the MIDI to make them open chords in the last section, and to fi...

bedlamward - Climb - doesn't sound like "big beat" to me. I kept thinking that this is going to be so cool once it transforms into big beat, but it never does. - closest you get is an 80's style snare effect - interesting song, though - I like the vocal synth stuff, though it sounds a bit...

Note: I couldn't get it at -14LUFS, I used the Ozone learn target feature, but still, Youlean Loudness Meter marked that it was at -13.5LUFS, I don't know much about mixing, I did my best, but these thigs are hard to understand, sorry. The "learn threshold target" will adjust based on the...

https://soundcloud.com/gruskada/power-cycle This one was pretty easy to name, sticking with my software development naming scheme. "Power Cycle" is just a hard reboot, where you completely shut down first. If you're having serious problems, especially network related, usually you want to ...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC033 May 2020 - Winners announced
Thanks, everyone! I thought I was going to get buried this month, especially since the song deals with politics, and I'm not a singer/rapper. I appreciate all the feedback - I really do try to use this to improve. I'm glad my timing mistakes seemed to play into the theme this month, but this is some...

maybe it is just the rum. Assuming you were serious, rum and forums don't mix well. A lot of my songs have been significantly beaten up here as well. Consider if the criticism makes sense to take into consideration (at least for your next song), and move on. It's not fun, but at least most of the t...

Benedict Roff-Marsh - The Shifters This is very interesting. It reminds me a bit of King Crimson. The song is somehow relaxing in an odd sort of way. I've got to say I hated it the first time I listened to it, but that's pretty common with avant garde-type stuff for me. Then, with the good stuff at...
