shrikeParticipantI personally like using Fab filter Timeless delay.
Lots of options to get some quick movement from even simple hat arrangements.

Also, this is a pretty gnarly pack…this is a talented lot, much respect
And Harry, just so we are clear: you didn’t need to participate in the pack making to participate in the challenge, correct? The challenge itself is still open to All SG, yeah?
Looking forward to hearing the entries!

,shrikeParticipantYes, sorry, it’s not yet posted. It should be up soon.

,shrikeParticipantCheck in the video vault

,shrikeParticipantJoe Ford has a mixdown workshop in the vault that may help you out.

,shrikeParticipantI’ll find some examples. If you make the tune dl-able I’ll mess with it, but I know that not everyone is interested in that.
I think the monster sounds in the back are fine…I’m talking about the moments where Jaws gets close to camera…or whatever monster analogy you prefer…the Xenomorph jumps out and forehead-bolts someone…the predator screams in the tree…the scary hero moments where you can really push that narrative idea. Focused for just a few moments.

,shrikeParticipantWelcome Climax!
Your caveat on clipping notwithstanding, I will just comment on what I hear:
Your intro sub is distorting quite a bit (I know you know this)
The intro is also just a little sparse for me…this is a very subjective thing, but if this is meant to be used in a club, you may want to give the dj a little more to grab onto. Just some more tops and atmos, and personally I would be filtering that bass in and out, maybe not ever letting the full signal through until the drop, for more impact.
I dig the drums, organic and crunchy.
Sound design is working out fine to deliver the concept, but you might think about creating some “hero” monster sounds, that stand out from the rest, and these could be used on downbeats or turnarounds. The “monsters” in the bg, the verb’d ones, work well to support the narrative…but I could use a few that are in your face, and are a little twisted in the sound design.
All subjective feedback. I think the tune overall is holding up fairly well, just maybe needs a little more spit & polish.
Hope that helps

,shrikeParticipantWelcome to the fray, Martial!
Very jungley, nicely done.

,shrikeParticipantGreat feedback Lord Balron.
When you say the kick is a little too “soft”, what freq range do you suggest attending to? Do I look in the 1-2.5k for snap? 5k+ for pop? More low? Or just an overall thing…?
I’ll look into those hats…I agree there is something not quite right about the performances.
Thanks, as always!

,shrikeParticipantI finally built a snare that I have confidence in…

,shrikeParticipantI feel you, Second. The main challenges are great, but I would be willing to throwdown on another, unofficial exercise, where we just use the samples from that month.
We don’t have to vote or any of that sort of thing, either. I’m up for it. I will do it. You tell me.

Fake (nice name!) yours is defo jungly. Took me back. Nice work.
Balron yours wasn’t nearly as bad as advertised. The intro could use some polish, but once it dropped it did its usual Lord Balron thing, which is to fucking JAM, especially the bits after that last turnaround…dig those drums.
I’m gonna shake things up a little and vote for AMJ this month. That’s a strong first posting, mate, and welcome to the fray! The mix sounds severely lo-fi relative to today’s standards, but that was kinda the point, eh? You may think about throwing some air in there (hi shelf around ~3-6khz). But it was groovy and it made my head bob.
November should be a fun one, but honestly I am most excited for December, where we use member-sourced samples. Thanks to all that continue to participate, and if you’re on the sidelines, GET IN THE GAME!
I think all the votes are in…what say you, Mr Genie!?!?!

,shrikeParticipantSilly fun time for today:
https://soundcloud.com/the_shrike/sh-dirge-wip01/s-rAPUY
A little polite at the drop, and I’d like to some choppy, alty drums in there, but hey, CYBER AF. Would like to push the cyber vibe even further.
All feedback welcome, thanks for the listen!

,shrikeParticipantI’ll throw my name in the hat as someone who would also like to see this feature greenlit!
