196 entries, phew! Great job everybody, you all did fantastic! With a large variety of bangers, cinematic productions, and ambience, it was just a great experience listening to everyone's soundtracks. I've also learned some new things thanks to this wonderful community. Thanks to everyone who participated and I'll see you in the next jam!
It's incredible how you finished so many finished tracks by the deadline- you even submitted them 1 day early! That's super impressive! On top of that, they are all connected in some way and I love the sfx! Gz!
Thank you for listening! Unfortunately I didn’t master for SoundCloud and it sounds pretty bad on there with the clipping and all. Glad you still liked it on there!
Your story was very creative and so were the tracks. I very much enjoyed reading each one as I listened to the track that represented each part. Congrats!
Thank you so much! I didn’t want this track to represent the whole game, just a “runaway” / chase scene. Yeah I agree, I don’t think this would be a good track to play during stealth scenes lol.
These tracks remind me when I started making music a few years back. Your instruments of choice were indeed fitting and indeed was the tempo, but there is so so sooooo much more to music and I hope you become amazed at everything you learn along the way just as I was. Great job and welcome to the world of music composition!
A lot of professional mixes cut out the entire high end (starting from 16000 Hz - 17500 Hz) with a low-pass filter to get out the shrieking. It does deteriorate some of the sounds in a mix, but I think it's worth it. In my track that I submitted for example, I cut out the entire high end starting from 17500 Hz to get rid of the noise my lead and other instruments were producing. This stuff mostly comes from experience though, so keep experimenting and keep up the good work!
The bells in "Home Sweet Home" have ear piercing high end which made me lower the volume by a lot. Should probably get rid of the high end frequencies and resonances on that bell, but otherwise, good job!
Could use some more mixing to make the kick more prominent and even out the instruments since some of them are overwhelming, but I love the way you used the chord progression from 4:54 to 5:42. Good job overall!
I actually tried making it louder and making it tighter, but it sounded muddier since it has some low end to it for when the bass drum stops. I get what you mean though for sure and I probably could make it a tiny bit louder; thanks for the criticism!
I'm glad that it caught you off guard in a good way! I sometimes have trouble blending parts together so hearing this makes me believe that I did a pretty good job. Thank you!
Hello! I was wondering about the optimal cover art size and/or dimensions. I'm planning to upload to 3 separate platforms: YouTube, SoundCloud, and itch. Should I make the cover art large for YouTube and crop it for the other platforms or is there another option?
