OK, that put a smile on my face. 🙂 A brilliant combination of, well, all kinds of stuff. And it works so well... Oh, and who cares about the level of the bass? IMHO, in a piece like this it just doesn't matter.

Way late here... Nice one, Lynn. It has a great Santana-ish file that I really like, but still sounds like you.

Another great piece you've got here... Wasn't expecting the message at first, yet it never stopped driving forward with crunch and clarity.

Loved it... Somewhere between classic Zep vibe and newer blues artists like Kenny Wayne Sheppard. Overall, I think Jimmy Page would be proud of this one.

OMG... this was freakin' awesome. Never would I have thought I'd be singing along to "Tinfoil Hat" in harmony, over some really tasty piano. And with lyrics that are just so on point. And I also learned something about laundromats to boot. 👍

At first glance... love it. The Control Bar in particular really provides a lot of clarity.

Make sure you press Ctrl first, and when dragging it does have to be below the clip header bar. Ctrl-Drag Clip Envelope.mp4

FWIW, you can also Ctrl+Drag downward on a clip to temporarily activate the clip envelope. When you're done it should revert to the clip (Clips in the edit filter).

Ditto, one of my favorite (and oft used) pianos.

I wonder if you have some weird MIDI channel assignment issue happening... What happens if you record MIDI using one of those other synths and then copy the resulting MIDI clip to the drum synth's MIDI track?

Yes, he did handle it well. While I may still not care for it I have a much better understanding where he was coming from.

Huh... nah, I wasn't too crazy about the winning entry. The orchestral aspects were very nice, but the 16bit Nintendo stuff.. for me, it just didn't vibe with the futuristic feel of the video. Even the humor bits I didn't quite "get" while watching against the action in the video. But what I do I know, I've never done this before! Some of the runner up snippets sounded really good though - very realistic and traditional sounding orchestra pieces.

Thanks @Philip G Hunt! This was my first "real" attempt at scoring so I know there's a lot to learn. Gotta start somewhere! I liked your piece - it was very moody, and a bit dark like the video. 🙂

Thanks @Makke! I appreciate it. Thanks @treesha! I did try to mix up the synth and orchestra elements a bit, and to get at least a little movement. Thanks @freddy j! It was really odd watching the clip with just dialog and production sounds, no music or effects. Music really does make the difference!

When you say down-sampling, do you mean a bit reduced type harshness? If so I honestly don't know what could cause that outside of a plugin specifically for that purpose, or some type of weird driver interaction getting triggered by something at that point in the project. Hopefully trying the existing clip in a new project will help determine if the clip itself includes that anomaly or if it's in the original project. Until then... If you copy that clip further down the timeline does the glitch occur at the same spot? What if you move that copied clip to a new track in the same project? What happens if you split the clip around the location where the glitch occurs, and then slip-edit each split clip to exclude the glitch region? I'm just throwing out ideas to maybe help narrow down the specifics.

I think it was suggested earlier, but, if you import that wave file into a brand new empty project using one of the delivered templates, does it glitch in the same place? If so, then yes, it was recorded that way and there's no fixing that after the fact (outside of something like RX or similar). What I would also try though is recording the same thing you did the first time around in that new project, using the original version as a guide, and see whether the newly recorded clip in the new project does the same thing. Worth a try, I think.

Nice playing! Really nailed that surf meets folk style.

I think I remember this song from a little while ago? If so, then the video made it all that much cooler! Y'all can play. Really love this genre.

That was freakin' awesome. Wow.

Loved it! Really well done all around. The music was tight and dynamic, and the vocal distortion fit perfectly. Speaking of fitting perfectly - were some of the video clips your own?

Just had a listen - great job! Really captured the vibe without sounding exactly like the original. Vocals were a standout for me. 👍

2:44 worth of straight structured retro-Floyd music with vocals? Shocking! In a yeah, you should do something like this again, way.

Huh... now that was a bit different. 🙃 Loved the music... so chill and pleasing, and the piano (as per usual) was a standout. Loved the soft tone. Now the video - that was pretty freakin' funny.

Thanks! The video imported as expected here. What's the sample rate of your project? Sped up audio seems like a typical result of a sample rate mismatch.

Thanks, Tom. I've never done soundtrack work before so you could certainly be on-point! Something to keep in mind for sure...
