That's OK man. But, hey ... thanks for the LIKE :tu: Glad you liked the track enough to do this. :party:

I took my time to comment on some of my 5s tracks and liked every track I have in 5 and 4. I'll try to push the limits and comment on every track, even if it's only 2 tracks a day. For me to go through all 60 (well, 59) tracks, I'd need 8 tracks a day... :help:

I cannot possibly pick a favorite out of that list. This may have been my favorite OSC to listen to so far. The 80s stuff could have been on the radio had it come out back then.

I am seriously impressed.

As for my own dismal composition in comparison, no comment.

Hopefully, I'll do better with the next one.

Ahahahaha! Eight Days a Week, yeah... One of my favorite Beatles tracks, along with No Reply, If I Fell and And I Love Her. :)

Also one of my favs. I can remember being very impressed with the deep bass sound on that track when it first came out. Made me want to be a bassist - never was though :( But, always though the final major chord was strange given the overall minor feel to the rest of the track!

Voted!

This was, hands down, the hardest OSC to vote ever!... so many tracks were basically at the 5 level to me (and there were so many tracks!), so again I had to adjust down where 2 was "average, among very good entries" to me. If you landed on 2 or 1, it definitely didn't mean a bad entry... just that I felt the 3's and up were superb to my ears presently. Also, ended up with four 5's for various reasons.

So, GREAT job everyone. And I do mean GREAT job... and I do mean everyone!

As always, if anyone wants constructive criticism from me feel free to PM me.

And it is especially true for the developer of PG-8X, Martin Luders! It has been a real pleasure watching this soft synth develop. Well done, everyone.

Phew I also have to complain about the amount of tracks :lol:

Oh my god. Well, I promised that I will comment this round and I keep my promise as you see, but I skipped a few at least. I`m not finished yet with commenting, but I it will be done today night I guess. I don`t think that I can handle this pensum each month although I`m truly interested into all this great musical output here. I wonder what will happen if the amount of entries become even more in the future. This could actually be problematic and could lead to quickly made judgements without listening carefully because some actually cannot manage this amount anymore. I just hope that all try to do their best not only in producing, but also in listening and voting. Very impressive round this time, good opportunity for me to learn something by listening all this great mixes and arrangements. I think there are way too many top titles again and I`m quite curious on the votings.

I have to say I havent commented, although I highly appreciated all comments I received. I just dont have the time.

Maybe it would ease it if we could comment directly on the voting page. So we won't need to open Soundcloud for each track to comment.

Actually, it's not that tough. While you're listening to the track, right click on the Soundcloud icon and choose "Open In New Window". Make your comments (they don't have to be long) and then just close up the Soundcloud window.

As each track is a good 3 to 5 minutes long, what you'd be doing during listening (probably nothing but) would take you all of maybe 60 seconds to post a comment. By the time you close it up, the track is probably still going or just about finishing.

It comes down to 2 clicks (open and close) for each track.

Try it. You might find it's a lot easier than you think.
