Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC067 March 2023 - results in preparation

That's how the game goes. You can not know beforehand, who will participate in the feedback period and who doesn't. You give feedback and cast a vote based upon the given rule set. If a user decides to drop out, then the lower participants just move up. This is why I also asked participants to not ...

But the "out of tune" guitar: it came as a total surprise to me that electric guitars have different properties than acoustic steel string guitars in this respect: if I press the strings all the way down into the fretboard - with force - I simultaneously "bend" the tone, with an...

Hello everybody, My experience with the challenge this month: I learned a bit more about tools that can aid you in composition and what they can and can't do. Instachord 2 was lingering in my software collection, but I had not used it before. And the LARAS composition tool looks interesting as well;...

Now we have agein to talk about the loudness settings. Mr. Fox wrote: „Regarding "Loudness Specs": For the Songwriting Competition -- as long as it does not exceed -14LUFS and -1,00 dBTP, you're getting all bonus points. There is no disqualification criteria.“ I don’t understand, what „ex...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC066 February 2023 - Winners announced

Congrats to the winners! Overall, I am a bit sad that neither KukoBass nor denny7794 got points. I just wanted to say that I'm not sad about the result of my entry. Considering the very high quality of the competition, my song would not be in my Top 5 either. What I'm really happy about is the feedb...
