#soft spectrum

MLR Sponsored Album: Soft Spectrum IV

Our goal here is to make something soft or chill. But don't leave if you're not an ambient composer- this isn't an ambient-only album. Anything liquid or chill, be it DnB, Dubstep, or even Orchestral will be accepted for listening. Tracks must be submitted in November 1st - November 3rd for judging. The Album will be released November 11th (11/11/15).

Soft Spectrum III is out!

Well its out!

Soft Spectrum has always been my favorite collection of albums simply because the first just absolutely blew me away (something something foothold). And now I got to be a part of it : 3 .

It is only 5 dollars for 10 songs and features artists such as:

Kyoga Makkon EnsionD Resonant Waves Razaluna MG Cherax Destructor Kingsley Evergreen dj tatcm

So yea. This is awesome, check it out!

Hey, I finally released another music!

"Fluttershy's always struck me as the kinda pony that values her alone time. I mean, yeah, no shit, right? But as someone who lives in a small house with a very loud family, that's one aspect of her that I've always felt I can really relate to. Alone time is worth its weight in gold. With this song, I tried to capture that most liberating sense of relief that accompanies a few hours of peace and quiet."

of course it's a train wreck to paste in here, so I'll just paste the comments from each judge:

senntenial:

Great intro, synth is a little heavy on the high end - some things are a little too crunchy to be relaxing/chill. And, woah, actual sub! Woo. Ouch, that snare is annoyingly nasal - so is the EP. Absolutely love the chords here - very refreshing. Sound design overall is very creative, though the mixing suffers quite a bit. Song doesn't evolve that much. Seems a little rushed.

kyoga:

rather interesting introduction with the array of synths you provide. the mix has a feel of barely holding together, like it's just a half step from falling apart, but then you transition into this wonderful and well-strapped pad which is assisted by all the other elements. Your use of effects here is quite effective (see what I did there...?) as you introduce percussion and the pads and progression starts to move outward you include a much larger peripheral of the stereo field. Quite impressive with the transition, actually. great job. I think the distortion here might have been a little bit too much, but I digress that point. it was well put together in that sci fashion everyone knows and loves. an interesting other direction from you entry last year.

freewave:

A wide array of arpeggiated noises and then a nice distorted pad for a moment. Does get into a very loud and throbbing beat that seems quite abrassive but interesting. Definitely one of the few adept IDM entries for this comp. Not my favorite but worth likely voting in. 

4thimpulse:

- Right off the bat the mix is messy. It sounds like you spent the most minimal amount of time you could on the mix. - Frequencies are missing, frequencies are harsh and too built up, some are too dull. - wow, songs over... that was fast, not necessarily a good or bad thing though. It kinda felt too soon and somewhat abrubt. - Sound design is interestng at times but the poor mix takes away from it. All the distortions take away from the chill factor, not enough to hurt you much but it was too much.
