bass sounds fine
how is the song tho
@supple bone
Yep
It's kinda chill but
It will sound more chill if you add more unison to saw
Or change it to a square
Cool
@golden ether
I like that intro
It sounds like there's a lot of sounds from a lot of genres that aren't able to agree on what the overall song should be. The snare sounds like it's more fit for an orchestra or marching band. The synth sounds neat, but it sounds like something I'd have in rhythm. Later on you have another synth that comes in that certainly adds the flavor that the song really needed. Other than that, the intro section (~50 seconds long) kinda felt like it was lasting quite too long. Maybe shorten it down to the 20 second mark and use that synth as rhythm, and let the other synth take over, feeding the melody
I should also say the bass guitar and drum are a pretty good fit
idk about the snare, I think it sounds fine. You should decide on whether you are aiming for a more distant (reverb) type of track or not. And at 1 minute there is a lead that is a bit overpowering.
could try transitions too (white noise)
could u tell me which exact lead?
the loudest one at 1 minute
Bells, pluck, piano, as long as one sound is taking control, im pretty sure you call that sound a lead
Yea but i got bells and keys playing at that same moment
And I want the keys to be in control there so I will power the bell volume
thin?
i dont get it
and I mean idk if synthwave is supposed to sound "real"
its gonna be very... synthy
wdym by 2 dimensional?
too basic?
yeah
maybe it's the mix or something
I can't hear it very well cuz I'm on my phone rn but
definitely some reverb
yea
its reverby
try listening with headphones later
i dont think phone speakers can ever give the full experience
I think my biggest quarrel is with that first lead
and the snare
the snare thing is definitely personal preference but it's quite loud and doesn't sit well in the mix
also the release
too punchy
the release on what
the snare i could change to something else ig
lots of complaints on the snare
is it too buzzy
what about the later leads
very in your face and not nearly interesting enough to justify it being in your face
it's fine
definitely add more percussion though
