5 points @stratman3142 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; - It was close between this and snap’s, but I just really like the vocal hook and sample in this. Reminds me of a 90s video game soundtrack
3 Points @Snap - Epic sci fi soundtrack...Hans zimmer-esque in parts
1 Point @Habanero - Very cool, I would love to hear an extended version...ends way too soon. Love the industrial vibe.
Shoutout to poopot as well, great track. I’m just partial to sci fi soundtracks
As a side note, I’m not happy with the sound quality of my track....best to listen to this version as I’ve uploaded the original wav and there’s a night and day difference compared to encoding twice via mp3 + soundcloud.
So, 5 pts to @Springywheel - it's the synth leads that clinched it, and how they fit so well with the guitar. Great stuff.
3pts to @stratman3142, just love the synths and the sort of revolving beat. Good title as it has a vibe of the Orb too, especially the stuff done with Dave Gilmour a few years ago.
1pt to @Habanero - again, cracking, and I am a sucker for sampled film clips.
I really like the Dirty Snake Mouth track, and I can hear it in a film, but I'm just a big fan of all things synth mate.
I enjoyed this comp.
On sound, @springywheel I listened to the wav and yeah you can deffo hear a difference. I noticed a similar thing with my track, the SC encoding seemed to highlight my shite mixing skills particularly in the low end. Well that's what I blame it on.......ha ha
Thanks for the votes. I originally chose 'Orb' as the title because I thought it would be easy to create a picture of it in Blender 3D Then it seemed to fit the music.
In the past I've chosen titles without considering how I would create a picture, which is often the hardest bit for me.
Just found it on Youtube. I'll set aside some time in future to listen to it, as it's 1 hr 39 min.
Yours sounds good to be fair, but yeah I guess a strong mix sounds good regardless of how it's encoded! Still reckon we should upload WAVs anyway just for the composition and cover challenges, and not for ROTM or SOTM where mixing isn't the focus.
5 points : @Snap : This sounded the most sci fi to me and, as mentioned earlier, epic and zimmer-esque
3 points : @Springywheel : Good production and good use of stereo imagery.
1 point : @Habanero : The most fun. Quite quirky. I really liked this.
Dirty Snake Mouth @poopot was a fantastic track, but a bit of a departure from the theme..
Adams Family theme anyone?
