Beta Studio Test

Hi Testers, thank you for participating in a beta test of our new Studio! What's the plan? We will open this group for at least a month for all testers to post bug reports and general feedback. Your insights will provide invaluable assistance in the fine-tuning of our studio before its official release in the coming months. What's new in the Studio? We've made major changes from an architecture point of view so our new Studio has gained a major performance boost. More specifically, the new Studio is based on WebAssembly and is using components that are completely new in a browser. This helps us build a more powerful and stable Studio which in turn lets you create more demanding projects. While there are no new features added to the new Studio, this will facilitate any further improvements and added features in the future! What should I do? Make as many tracks as possible using our beta Studio: https://beta-studio.soundation.com (Important: Use this link only) on Chrome version 70. If you find any bugs in the process, please comment in this group with the information: What I did, what went wrong, what I expected + Operating system + Studio and Engine version Is there anything I should be aware of? Yes. Please find below more info on buffer size/latency and some known issues: 1. Buffer size vs. latency • Increasing buffer size makes the Studio work more fluently, with less risk of glitches but with cost in latency (recommended for projects with long effect filter chains and/or many SendTo effect instances). • Decreasing buffer size makes the Studio work with smaller latency but with cost in risk of glitches and fluency (recommended for simpler projects with shorten effect filter chains). Recommended buffer size is 512 or 1024. • In case of complex projects and need of short latency, try to mute as many those channels which has the longest effect filter chains and then decrease buffer size to 256, 512. 2. Known bugs raised by testers (work in progress): • Some presets of WubMachine (using Retrigger) differs in the beta studio • The studio stops responding when used for a long time 3. Current Studio version 2.0.1 Engine version 1.7.1 4. Improvements added • Import of flac • Import of mp4 (including import of the AAC coded audio track from video mp4 file) • Option to enable Turbo Mode to maximize CPU usage What will I get? In return for your help in scrutinizing our new Studio, you will get one item from our sound shop for free at the end of the testing period. We really appreciate your time and feedback. If you have any questions feel free to post here. Now, have fun with our new Studio! Team Soundation 👉 Access the beta Studio here: https://beta-studio.soundation.com

VGM Contest

Announcing the Winners! After an intense round of judging, we have our top tracks! 🥇 First Place - "Sirens Call" by reptilian (81 Points) A beautifully arranged piece with an incredible blend of elements and sound selection. The GameBoy-style pulse sound gives it a classic VGM feel, and the escalation riff is masterfully done. The subtle samplerate reduction adds a polished touch that makes this track feel like a true boss battle theme. Brings me straight back into the boss fights from Cyberpunk, but would fit into nearly any game 🥈 Second Place - "Void Space" by DUTCH (80 Points) This track is a complete and coherent composition with a super smooth mix. The balance of variation and structure makes it feel game-ready. It's clear that DUTCHY, the legend, has a strong grasp of VGM production, delivering a track that sounds like it could be shipped straight into a game, and teleports me straight to the late 90s snowboard cross games. 🥉 Third Place - A Three-Way Tie! (76 Points Each) "FOUL" by ithoundrist - A thumping, bass-driven track with an intricate drum rhythm and excellent sound design. It gives off strong Japanese game vibes and has a powerful atmosphere. "Fallen Worlds" by reptilian - A track full of exaggerated bitcrushing effects, creating a "modern platformer" sound. Bonus points for keeping the Amen break alive! Wisp Planet Act 1 (DNB Remix)" by Polaris - A solid remix flexing impressive sound design. While it's a cover, it still absolutely nails the competition's theme. Prizes First Place: Featured spot on the Soundation homepage, 12 months of Creator account, 12 months of Europa Synth Second Place: Featured spot on the soundation homepage, 1 month of Creator account, 1 month of Europa Synth Third Place: Featured spot on the Electronic group page, Featured spot on the VGM group page, 1 month of Europa Synth Honorable Mentions: Selected tracks may be reposted on SoundCloud or featured in the VGM group. Thanks to Everyone Who Entered! We were blown away by the level of talent in this contest. Thank you to all the producers who participated—your creativity and passion for video game music truly shined. Stay tuned for future contests, and keep making amazing music! (P.S, if anyone wants their individual scores and me and blezz' feedback, just send us a PM)
