Please read through them ### Sounds to Avoid - Diagetic sounds, or sounds that exists in the game's world rather than being in the background, are highly discouraged. Examples include birds chirping, in-game sfx, dialogue, and footsteps. - Heavy use of harsh/sharp sounds should be avoided at all costs! Most of Cubyz' sound effects will likely be in the high-end, so compose with this in mind! +- Midi instruments can break the player's immersion if not used correctly. If you use midi, be sure to mask it, whether that be through filters or mastering. + +### Song Looping +- Looping tracks will likely be used for events, bosses, and general battle scenarios. If your song does not fit these scenarios, please attempt to give your song a proper intro and outro. +- Looping tracks should be at least 60 seconds in length. + +### Mastering +- Your song should not be heavily compressed. +- Your song should be fully audible at 75% volume and be comfortable to listen to at said volume. +- Try listening to your song in multiple environments, such as through a speaker and through headphones. +- Avoid too much sub-bass! + +## Instrumentation and Composition +Now that rules have been established, what will you make? + +### Musical Moods +- If your song plays at least 1k blocks underground, definitely give it an ominous vibe.
