Let us hear you!

Thanks guys! :D 

Komplete 15 Ultimate is a MASSIVE beast. Good thing I've got fiber and a 2TB SSD to store everything ... not sure I'll ever be able to check out everything tbh ...

My first Disco(ish) track - It's A Party

Apparently I'm spamming this thread, but someone's gotta do it ;)

https://soundcloud.com/petterjensen/its-a-party

Wasn't really ready to let this one out of it's cage just yet, but given a small emergency with the upload in a contest it is part of I had to, so might as well pester you guys with it too.

Made this for the Highnote & Native Instrument 'The Kitchen Challenge', where we have to make a song using provided ingredients (in this case a groove loop and NI Hypha synth) + whatever else we like, and it has to fit a theme, which for this contest was Sabrina Carpenters Espresso.

Really wanted to make some more improvements (especially the bass) before publishing on Soundcloud, but hey, at least now it's done. And it was quite fun :D

And btw, they promise to do these once a month, so if you like a challenge, sign up. Prizes are awesome too, 3 winners get Komplete 15 Ultimate this time. 55 entries.

Progressive House - Shamed


Let us hear you!

Thank you Sam and @nigel

Now that you mention it Sam, I think you're right ... might try rolling off the top somewhat here actually.

And already looking a bit into digging out that kick a little better.

It's so helpful with some extra ears when trying to improve everything at once. Really appreciate it guys! :D

Ableton Live 12 Livestream #1 - MIDI Tools - Tuesday October 8th - 18.00 BST


Livestreams

Mmmm ... this is basically Ableton only stuff, right? Not so useful for Logic users? Too much to do these days, so need to plan my time accordingly for effect ...

Progressive House - Shamed


Let us hear you!

Thanks @manixdj ! Really appreciate the feedback.

Listened back to it now, and I agree with you. The guitars are kind of detached from the sonics of the track ... I did indeed try to get a lift during the second drop, and wanted some grit to it, but should revert to synths to make it blend in better.

Kicks seems so easy, but are so hard. Hopefully it will be easier with more practice. Still struggle with compression, especially low end ...

Progressive House - Shamed


Let us hear you!

Finally finished some new music :D 

This time a kind of progressive house track (I think), which I am overall quite pleased with actually.

However, I have been trying out a number of kicks on this, and still not sure I got it ... been trying to figure out drums in general a bit of late, as this is apparently a recurrent issue for me ... any input appreciated.

Also, I've included some guitar parts in second drop that are not particularly genre appropriate, so very interested to hear any thoughts on those.

(and no Sam, it's not me singing here either! ;)

8 TRACK ATTACK! New Member Assignment


Announcements

Great livestream!

I really enjoy these challenges, fun to do and very cool to have Rob walk through all entries. Learn something every time!

Big congrats to @nigel and @manixdj for edging the top spots. Awesome tracks guys!
Still can't get over the level everyone was able to get with just the 8 sounds tbh. Real eyeopener.

Looking forward to the next one now :D

Jafunk Livestream Wednesday (tomorrow) 28th August at 18.00 UK Time


Livestreams

Great stuff from Jafunk. Very inspirational, and like the 8 track challenge, interesting to see how lush and full a song can be with just a few carefully chosen sounds and minimal processing.

I feel a disco track coming up!
