EDIT:
as of may 20, its a new version up with the bass lowered a little
after reading Tims "driving bass" and Markku's "balancing stuff" comments.
and, after not being 100% happy about the freq balance of the last mix myself...:borg:

This is more Knight Raider than Moon Raider! Perfect 80s electro. Really cool baseline in there. On your SC there´s a picture of your studio? Do you use that analog stuff in your current productions? I once owned the Matrix 1000, nice gear.

Doesn't sound like spam to me. I like it.

I do have a question. What reverbs do you use? I think I might have asked this on another one of your tracks but don't remember.

The pads, and especially the basses are the standouts for me. The driving bassline that begins at 1:04 gives the track a very energetic and dramatic atmosphere. Great for a movie action sequence.

Good work :)

Could have fooled me, if someone would have played this and said it was done in 80s.

Really nice. I think there's some balancing stuff which could be better, but, in retrospect, real 80s stuff had issues on that area.

Real good sound and separation.

What is the synth lead? Shortcircuit is a sampler, just asking because I liked the sound and I use older Shortcircuit...

hey, HTC! thanks for stopping by :oops:

yes, the bass is pretty busy...lol
i just revisited it and dropped the volume a bit
after reading Tims "driving bass" and Markku's "balancing stuff" comments.

i have 2 daws, my HW DAW, which has all that gear
going into a 1U rackmount quadcore winxp system.

then theres my ITB laptop that has been getting more
and more use sadly :cry:
but on occasion i jump back on the HW DAW, recently used
my AX80 on the tune before this one.

Nice one Layzer. Sounds too modern to be an 80s track ... good, punchy production. The title reminded me of ...

My kids used to love them :hihi:
