    Adding for fun, will check other entries in the next few days as well.

    This is the first thing I've written in over a year, thanks to Loopy Pro. It is very rough, just recording vocals and synths by hand directly into Loopy Pro with no other effects or processors. I pulled the raw audio clips into Audacity to arrange them, do some minor volume adjustments to level a bit, add a touch of reverb on vocals and hats, and a some delay to one of the baselines during breaks, just default Audacity effects. No compression, no auto-tune, etc., so expect it to be a bit rough :)

    Interesting interpretation of this classic tune. The backing track has some catchy synth hooks. Sounds a bit 2D in its current form and could gain in width with a bit of work on the mix.
    As for the vocals, I agree those can be pitchy here and there but they feel real. I wouldn't recommend any auto tuning, it would kill the whole vibe and authenticity. Regular singing practice seem to be the most appropriate solution, or maybe simply improve your vocals monitoring during the performance. You have a pleasant voice don't waste it with over production and effects (unless it is the kind of sound you're after ofc). For the vocal chain, I am very happy with Mixbox (a bit expensive for iOS standard, but full of great sounding hardware emulations especially compressors, channel strips, preamps and EQs). Anyway, glad to have another singer onboard and hope you'll keep posting regularly here.

    Thank you very much. I would definitely like to refine this one at the production level and then take it through actual mixing and mastering stages, something I built some templates around during a music production course. I sing the original version in the styles of Nat Cole or Matt Monroe every night to my daughter, prefer those to the usual swing/Caribbean styles done by Sinatra and others. Got stuck with an AM radio for a car I had many years ago, and got to discover and enjoy a lot of tunes from the 50s and 60s, would like to do retakes of many of them in a modern style like this as well, but also songs from other decades and songs of my own. Yeah, plan to contribute more here, it's great hearing the different styles. Refreshing.

    I also appreciate feedback on the vocals a lot. I spent some time over the last few weeks putting together an actual vocal chain, and was debating about having an auto-tuner, but yes, think I will skip it for now. I could certainly use the vocal practice, it's a big reason I'm using Loopy Pro right now and have structured my workflow around it. Got very stumped with music a year ago trying to rework several pieces where I attempted to add the vocals to pieces already written, became overwhelming. Really like making vocals the heart of composition going forward.

    A moody opening with an excellent solo guitar. The denser, more-intense musical accompaniment helps to convey the vulnerable situation suggested in the lyrics. The sparser-than-usual lyrics also suit the dark tone of the potential terrors, as though there isn’t time to elaborate.

    @JanKun
    What a great idea to combine the inventive piano of LinearLineman with the always inspiring orchestration of JanKun! They balance and counter-balance each other throughout with uplifting bursts of drama, playful musical motifs, and lyrical melodies that suddenly appear and disappear. A truly great collaboration from two creative talents that I have the utmost respect for.

    @rapidfire
    A fine cover track with a terrific lead guitar. The overall sound is unusually clear with the instruments well-separated both musically and in the audio space. Excellent work.

    @cuscolima
    Feels as though it’s constantly moving, yet with a consistent goal. Reminds me in places of Terry Riley, with his similar sense of musical churning as exploration. Though here, that’s accompanied by a strong backbeat.

    @EnergyCrush
    Very cool cover of a well-known tune. Kind of a mashup of different vocal styles and instrumental styles. The mashup works really well, while retaining much of the feel of the original Kaye Ballard torch song (as opposed to the overdone, overproduced Frank Sinatra version that followed).

    My entry for the month, lyrics in the spoiler:

    Fear
    And silence
    Uneasy compliance

    And hope
    Deserts you
    The terrors convert you

    So freeze
    Get down on the ground and just stay on your knees

    The knife’s blade is always so near to your heart
    You know that it’s waiting to cut you apart

    Threats
    And violence
    The price of your silence

    But now
    It’s too late
    You reckon with your fate

    So freeze
    Get down on the ground and just stay on your knees

    The knife’s blade is always so near to your heart
    You know that it’s waiting to cut you apart

    Great song!. I love the spaciousness. The guitars and bass sound spot-on.
    And the quiet part near the end that bursts into the finale is superb.

    It's always great to have a new songwriter joining this little club, and especially so as you are also a vocalist. Stick around and I'm sure that committing to being a regular contributor here will help you get your vocal chain tweaked to your liking, there's really nothing like regular practice to iron out all those issues.

    I wouldn't worry about the slight pitchiness in your vocals in this month's track, a few months of practice will iron that out IMO.
