The Community of Music Makers

Congrats @Onni Schlebusch for winning the Diamond Ears Award!

A 16-year-old picks up her guitar and asks her 13-year-old sister what the song should be about. The sister says TOPIC. They laugh. Then they actually write it, in 15 minutes.

That's how TOPIC by Hamsini & Smahi Kaushik (PHOOLZ) happened. Hamsini takes the first verse, Smahi takes the second, and both are about the same thing: life as a book, and finding the topic of your own story. The line at 1:48 sums it up. Maybe every page we turned, was leading somewhere strong.

Life is tough in higher levels 😅

I know we are here to get better and hone our skillsssss... stiiiiiilllll, SPI points are cool.

How come I pass a game (get to the next level) and do not get any of my 3 best scores, which to my understanding, is what awards you SPIs ??? (this screeenshot was taken right after I passed Compressionist from 36 to 37 😥)

Same thing a few days ago with EQ Mirror from 42 to 43.

Any insights ?

@Aaron Wilkins just uploaded the song '8-Bit Adventure' to the SoundGym Charts.

just passed the half way point to diamond ears - at this rate only 10 months to go!

On a more important note - I definitely see the progress in my listening skills, and am figuring out how to apply those in my mixing and mastering 😀

Hello everyone. I just released my first song yesterday. I wrote this over the summer for Mastering.com's Radio Ready Single Intensive. Let me know what you think.
