One Synth Challenge #74: DEXED (Jasinski Wins!)

[mehum]

Congratulations to the winners (and everybody else for your great work this month)!
Surely a talented bunch here Although my taste differs a bit from other's the top tracks are certainly deserving of praise!

As for my own performance I'm very happy to have gone from #36 or something last month to #11! Thank you all for voting, whether you gave me 1 or 5 or anything in between!

I'm in the combined mixing and mastering phase of my OSC#75 track, so see y'all there, I hope! PG8X has its quirks but if you can handle DEXED it should be a breeze.

Wow. Thanks you all. I really appreciate all the listens and comments.

Voting is funny. Personally I think I've done better stuff, but taste is so subjective. I think we all have a distinct idea of what we want to do, but sometimes our production or mixing skills, or lack of experience with certain things gets in the way, but - and this is a big but - the more we continue to improve upon those things, the closer we get to our own sound, vision, etc.

So everyone keep keepin' on! Congrats really to all that enter. Putting our creations up for everyone to inspect takes courage in itself.

Congratulations to the winners. It was a lot of fun to play around with DEXED, and listening to everyone's tracks was a pleasure.

Congrats Jasinski - my pick along with Richard.

The top tracks were indeed "the tops"!! Great job everyone. The bar was very high this time round, so I am happy to be making my way nearer the halfway point.

Thanks to those who gave me high marks - again, my tracks are a lot about personal taste (and it seems some "non-funk" people liked it as well!!!) - although I admit my sound design and mixing can always improve with all your help!

Going for a more minimal/classical piece for the next OSC. I had a track composed and ready, but the synth really won't let me do it justice at all, so am starting again - so I now have just 2 weeks now to get it done - yikes!

Kudos to the winners - and once again, Richard, I really thought yours was a wonderful track in so many ways.

See ya all soon!

Congrats to all winners and also to everybody who has joined, because I simply find it hard to think in terms of "winning" and "losing" at all, when it comes to music or art in general and especially after listening so many professional and awesome tracks. I think this month we had again a really stunning collection and although I haven`t had the time to comment all tracks, I listened at least almost all. I hope that I will find the time to comment the one or another later.

My personal favorite this month is still the track of Parduz, because it simply provoked the most emotional response in me and something like this makes a track really unforgettable for me. That`s earworm extreme, so to speak

Just for to pick out one personal highlight this month.

All in all I think OSC is a bit intimidating, especially for beginners, but also motivating to really try hard to make a good job just out of respect for all the great artists here which spending their off time in giving feedback and advice.

Thanks for this and well done (as always)

Cheers

Wow, a lot of great tracks. And many where you don't expect that they are FM powered.
My fav for now is Hope by ballacr75.

Congrats all you great OSC people, the fact that you all get a decent sound out of an FM synth, great! All I got was farts and 50's sci-fi special fx

Congratulations to Jasinski, H-man, BH9090 and Keith303, all well deserved winners!
and thanks to all who voted my track into the top 5 , H-man and doctorbob for your kind words.
(Doc, your keyboard is safe )

I feel just a bit guilty... mcaitch - your track was my favourite, and somehow mine just pipped it to top 5 by one point. So close....!

Still listening to the best ones as i write, and they're all really enjoyable tunes. Well done everyone! Looking forward to the next round.

[ballacr75]

Hey, don't feel guilty RichardSemper! You achieved a well deserved 5th place

I don't dare to think how much more votes your song would have gotten, if it had drums included

And... thank you very much for the fantastic compliment
