Nice mix of genres, with modern and old intertwined

Love that whistle sound! :) This is the first ever trap beat I've listened to from start to finish - I've only heard the genre from commercials or plugins reviews but somehow avoided Trap 100% - I think it is because way back I used to be a cratedigger only sampling vinyl records making jazzy hip hop beats on my Yamaha SU700, already back then we beatmakers hated on everybody using drum machines, or sampling other things than rare vinyl records - so that old school cratedigger mentality somehow stuck with me and I never cared for trap ;)

Interesting Track featuring an Ennio-flute :-)

Great beat, very atmospheric. I like the context the picture is offering us.

This reminds me of The Legend of Zelda :P Just like Yadrichik, i try to avoid trap as much as i physically can - and honestly i think the chop snare is the worst sample ever created and should everywhere be replaced with the Wilhelm Scream because it would be funny. Or with cats meowing... Anyway, i'm quite surprised that i would have liked to listen to it longer, I think it's because your whistle sound is just amazing :P

While I am not a big Trap fan it is great to see a new genra represented in OSC. Your track is nicely constructed with good sound choices. The biggest issue is it is so short by probably at least 1 minute as it feels like it ends abruptly.

Beautiful and well suited whistle/flute here.

Was expecting the track to be further developed and be a bit longer. I enjoyed listening to it no matter how short it was.

I like the sound of this a lot - especially the whistle!  Some of the percussion notes feel too upfront to me but that's just creative preference.

One Synth Challenge #173: Bucket Pops and Bucket One by Full Bucket Music

Kind of fascinated by this free library (VCSO2). Like...does this sound good? I kinda like it a lot for some reason. Super light on the CPU, going with Sforzando.
Most inspiring and brilliant is that they are bone-dry, making pitch-bending almost acceptable, I find! ☺

Really

Made entirely with Versilian's free VCSL library using Sforzando(VST) in MuLab(DAW) on a $100 beelink miniPC. Not even a hick-up. Sometimes this world holds beautiful surprises!

Alright, I'm being a traitor to my beloved MuLab and gave Cubase a first go for a small exploration of: Spitfire Audio's LABS- Glass Piano and a bunch of other LABS. It's LABS Only, actually. Good fun! ☺

Lyrics:

Haters always on my back, can't seem to shake them off
Talking all that smack, acting like they're so tough
But they don't know me, don't know where I've been
They don't know the struggle, they don't know the win

I rise above the hate, don't let it get me down
I use it as my fuel, I wear it like my crown
I'm focused on my mission, I'm chasing all my dreams
They can talk all they want, but I know what it means

I know I'm not perfect, but I'm doin' my best
I won't let their hate put my mind to the test
I'll keep on moving forward, with my head held high
I'll leave them in the dust, as I reach for the sky

Haters...
Haters can't stop me, I'll run this town

Haters gonna hate, that's just a fact
I'll keep grinding, I won't ever slack
They talk behind my back, but never to my face
I know they're just jealous, they can't keep up the pace

I still have hope, even when it's hard to see
I still have faith, that there's a better destiny
I won't give up, I'll keep on believing
I still have hope, and that's what keeps me breathing

Haters...
Haters can't stop me, I'll run this town

Humility (OSC 172 Lith)

Yo fam, 
 
We are less than 3 weeks away from going into full
BEAST mode with the FlavorWave movement. 
 
Here are a few things to know... 

The Mission:
 
We're standing our ground and rebelling against 
the trashy, recycled sound epidemic by creating 
the HOTTEST new genre.
 
Then we're gonna give it away to light up the producer 
community and inspire a new wave of music messiahs.

FlavorWave a.k.a. the hyperbolic prophecy (”SaviourWave”)
is now in full effect and we are already crushing it!

Yup, you heard it right – we're dropping this for FREE
right in your lap, no strings attached. 

So we can create the most revolutionary music genre
and give it away to the producer community.
 
This will help you break free from the chains of recycled 
styles and step into the realm of sonic excellence. 

*We can only give it away if we reach our goal*

The Goal: 
 
Our goal is to raise at least 5 points minimum per voter to 
invest in more tools so we can create the most epic genre ever!
 
All points will go into the making of this genre
so we can create a MONSTER like Dr. Funkenstein. 
 
With your support, we'll reignite the FIRE in the
One Synth Challenge and raise the bar like a bodybuilder.

Stretch Goal:
 
If you help us double our goal and vote 10 points...
(by creating a fake KVR account, posting 40 times and then voting 5 pts again)
 
We'll unleash the Black Bucket POPS Edition with one more 
preset for you and all other supporters.
 
*Black POPS will only be available for this campaign*

Rewards: 
 
The more you give, the more you get back.
 
You want super exclusive expansions of your mind?
 
You can choose from a variety of styles that 
grant you exclusive access to rare harmonies.
 
No one else will have access to them but you
and our community of rebels.

Let the FlavorWave begin! 
 
At 12 midnight PST August 16th... 
 
You'll be able to claim your badge in the ranks 
of FlavorWave soldiers pushing a rebellion in sound.
 
Get ready to join the FlavorWave Revolution!

Together, we'll obliterate the mundane, redefine the game,
and make music history!
 
Keep your eyes on the lookout for the results
at 12 midnight PST August 16th.
 
Let's goooooooo fam!

---------------------------------------------------
The Awakening is a playful musical journey through the battle within—an exploration of self-doubt, fear, and the struggle to break free. It captures the voice inside that holds us back, the moments of uncertainty, and the eventual realization that the only true enemy is ourselves.

Narrative:
---------------------------------------------------
Krit was a small boy, often feeling like he didn’t quite fit in.
Despite his achievements, there was always a quiet voice telling him, 
"You don’t belong". 
He told himself it was normal, part of growing up. But it never went away. 
Then one night, he had a dream.

🌅 Act 1: The Dream
He ran through wide, golden fields, feeling light and free. For the first time in a long time, he didn’t have to think, everything just felt right.

🌑 Act 2: The Nightmare
Suddenly, the world grew still. The fields shrank, and a shadow appeared in front of him.
"You don’t belong."
The air thickened. He couldn’t move, and the doubt that always lingered felt overwhelming.
"You are nothing."

⚔️ Act 3: The Ascent
A shift. Krit started to move. Slowly at first, then faster. The shadow loomed, but he kept going. The doubt didn’t disappear, but it no longer held him back.

🌟 Act 4: The Awakening
He pushed forward, the weight lifting with each step. The shadow faded, and with it, the doubt.
Krit didn’t stop. He had awakened, and nothing would hold him back again.
---------------------------------------------------
I would like to thank Taron and The Sound Of Merlin for their valuable feedback and guidance in refining certain aspects of this song, truly grateful!
