Been listening a lot to synthwave so I decided to make a track of my own. I know its not exactly textbook synthwave 101 since my snare doesn't have that gated reverb and there aren't as many filters as I'd like there to be but..

my cpu somehow reached 101% lmao. Second drop defo the peak of the song.

All things considered, I'd say the mix is decent.


Hope you enjoyed. Lemme know what you think ↓

YOOOOOO!!
I was so excited when I saw this πŸ˜†

This was friggin awesome! especially since it's your first synthwave song!
One feedback I'll give is that I'd let the synths really take more of the centre stage.

Other than that, bravo dude πŸ˜„

Thanks, another synthwave track is already on its way, this one's definitely better mixed lmao

Bro, This Music Is Really Fire

Yeah!!! New genre new emotions!!! Great job

Well, very much soπŸ₯Έ

Had my headphones off tbh, was gonna just pop in and give you a five so I can go back to nursing my covid but I could hear those glittering piano arps from where my headphones were and I had to put them on. After giving this a few listens I'm thinking it's a little over compressed, could just be my clogged sinus's. Elements are all great though. Horns are fucking beautiful. Melodies are killing it. Beat is chill, giving attention to all the other elements. Everything is beautiful.

That aux percussive woodblock might be a little too loud? It's bigger than the snare. Beautiful tone though. I think the hi hat might also be a little too loud. Sorry, I'm only nit picking because I said it sounded over compressed and I can't just leave it there without pointing out one or two things that might help? I over fuck my own mixes all the time, I'm a damned hypocrite.

Next time I send my man to vegas I'm gonna make sure he brings home something better than covid.

Casper responds:

Definitely over compressed, it was even worse than this, got carried away with boosting my mids on the bass and making the drums punchy lol, I would have fixed it but the project is buffering like hell and my cpu can't take it sooooo.. I guess I'll keep this in mind for the next track lol. The chords are also way too stacked, some layers are probably not even audible, I mostly experimented with this track since It's my first actual attempt at an 80s synthwave vibe even if I tend to use the same elements in my regular beats. Compared to my other stuff the mix isn't as good as it could be but with 101% raw DAW processing power I think it's good enough lmao
