I am in the Top 20 of Audiojungle Composition Challenge
I am lucky enough that my entry made it to the top 20 which are shortlisted by a team judge panel. But in order to win, where there will only be one winner, the music entry will need to be the most voted by public.
Mixing music in the box
A few years ago, software effects plug-ins never sound as good as the hardware outboard effects. But in recent years, when CPU power gets a lot better and faster than before, many mixing engineers do mix entirely in the box. This means all mixing are done virtually, all using computers.
For someone like me who definitely [...]

一个字，好！
同样和我那首歌名，
却是全然不同的感觉，
前奏一进来，
后面那个电子笛的effect很能抓住听觉的感受
轻快又有跳动节奏的拍子，
fusion feel的编曲很吸引，
还有层次感，
歌词的铺排也成立，
明白也是很好的记忆点
佳作！
加油加油
