Just a quick comment: If you make a fairly minimal track with just a couple of melodic lines etc, maybe don't make it as loud as it can go.. blew my head off

Begun the loudness war has...

Sorry if it was my song because your description might fit it. My previous songs were often a bit quieter than the competition so I hope I didn't go overboard with it this time (track should be around DR-10). Then there is also the technical challenge to just see how far the material can be pushed.

Not really talking about a specific track so much despite getting a bit of a shock. It's just a general trend I have noticed. My track is a little quiet compared to some but generally if I monitor at the level I was commercial stuff sounds loud but easily tolerable. A few of the OSC tracks so far I can't listen to at that level because of too much high end or just too loud. I remember reading up on the loudness wars and I think it was Bob Katz who made the point that a recording a folk singer with a guitar will sound louder than a heavy metal band if you want it too. So yeah less tracks/channels = more headroom.

Greetings,

Voted, now busy leaving some comments on SC.

I had a lot of fun listening to everyone's contribution, there's certainly a *lot* of talent showing off Helm's impressive capabilities. I also got some great ideas for using the synth in future projects, a nice side benefit to the challenge.

Good luck to all entries !

Best,

Power was out for just short of 72 hours, but it looks like it's going to be over a week for many others in town. I consider myself lucky!

Voting complete!

Just posting this to be on the sure side because it was necessary in the past. If I interpret the rules correctly it is not necessary anymore because of the way the voting page works?

Good luck to everyone! Lots of interesting and well done entries.
