This track is awesome! Period.
Seriously, this is some very well done Synthwave! The beat, the lofi lead, everything is on point. One thing that would've made it more Synthwave-y would be if the bass a bit more prominent and was side chained to the beat to give it that "bouncy" vibe. Though, this still sound nice, nevertheless! Keep up great work!

Thank you so much Gawne! I was actually just experimenting with synths in Caustic 3, didn’t plan on making something like this XD Yeah Ik I could’ve sidechained but I dunno how in C3 :p. Thanks for the kind words & nice review :D
oh you're beginning to change the name? okay. any way the song is quite good.
Thanks man, and yeah I am.
Just a little note, I am not much of a fan of a lot of this kind of music (or much anything made with Caustic), but this caught my eye a bit. This is not that bad of a track. :D
This most certainly is Synthwave! Great job! You got that brass lead perfect, the drums fit very well. The lows in the mix are a bit messy for some reason, be sure to EQ correctly. There should've also been a BIT more of a bassline than just the root note of each chord, but this is very well done! Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much Muddy! I appreciate the advice greatly :D
I really like this track.
Although there are some things that can be done to make this even better. I would add more bass on the roots, you should also try and use EQ to mix this track a little better. The kick and snare could also use distortion to beef it up, only a little though. In my opinion, you could make the sidechain just a bit stronger. layering the main chords with different sounds is always a good idea, just make sure to mix them properly. in all though this track is really good! I hope you found this helpful.

i do find all of this helpful! This was my first real attempt at synthwave tbh, so there are obviously some issues :p
