i got put in the "professional amateurs" group, which makes sense, because i had 38 fans earlier, but now i have 39. does this mean that in the next round, i'll be judged in the "above average joes" group, or will i stay where i am?

You'll stay where you are. Otherwise, the group totals would get very uneven after a while. Also, constantly keeping track of all 200+ competitors' fan totals is a little more administrative work than I signed up for. :)

What’s a Knock-out Round?
The next stage of this 3-stage competition! Half of the original competitors from each group were accepted into the Knock-out Round, rounded up according to group membership and then rounded up again if there were ties. The new group membership totals may be unequal as a result of ties, rounding, and disqualifications.



i faced some timing issues with vacation, so i had to rush this out in 3 days. nevertheless, those were a brutal 3 days, and I hope you all enjoy

Hahahaha i feel you there! Some things I suggest that have helped me as ive had this exact issue-


  1. Adaptive Limiter: apply this to the master track, choose preset “soft limiter,” that should help
  2. Make sure your mix never goes above 0 dBs. If it does, it will peak
  3. When you export, do NOT normalize the track. That is what typically makes it quiet. Im not quite sure why that is? But that’s what does it.


Hope this helps with that in the future!

this took about 4-5 hours to make. I had a ton of fun making this track, and i think i even learned a few things during production :o

Thank you for the input, I'm really new to FL studio so any mixing tips I can get, I'll gladly take. I'm glad to see this community is willing to help out the new guys like myself 😀

Here is my submission for the next round

A song about a boy who falls in love with the sun.

Later on in life he becomes an astronaut and flies a rocket straight into it, killing himself immediately.

Enjoy :)

https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1232289 Alright then. Here is the next submission

Actually, you're expected to make a brand new track from scratch for this round of the competition. You couldn't have started working on it before August 13, as per the rules. Thanks!


Also, @Fox4567 Haha I think @Interloping was referring to me when he said "looking at you, logic," not the DAW. I commented on the loudness of his mix in my review this past round. :)
