Red Sector 4 - spacey electro

[layzer]

a quicky. yeah, it could be developed more, but i laid on my back listening to it a bunch of times before i deemed it fine as-is... so enjoy it as-is if
you can.

My Feedback

Music - 8.5
Instruments - 9
Performance - 9.5
Mix - 9.5

Overall - 9.125

Comments: Creepy sounding and catchy all at the same time. Hard to pull off. Like the percussion on this one. I see you have a lot of stuff listed but I don't see the kind of reverb used unless I missed it.

Okay, gotta ask, cause I have freeverb 3 as well. How do you go about creating your own IR? What's the procedure? Do you need special software?

I just watched this video.

How does he turn white noise into a reverb? I am totally befuddled as to how this works.

If I hear a 303 I expect a prodigy breakbeat and swagger

I think it could use a bit more melody instead of atmosphere. Nice mix though.
II think it would be cool to hear in a game like the old crusader

[ChamMusic]

Sounds like Knight Rider gone rogue! :0)

That's a compliment by the way! :0)

For a 'quickie' it works very well.

Mix is a bit flat for me at times, but that's not surprising considering the time spent on the whole thing! :0)

There are great melodies weaving around each other everywhere in this one! :0)

The combination of vintage sounds with some intricate sequencing is compelling. This could work as soundtrack material -- for sci-fi or mysteries. The slap synth bass gives it a definite 80s feel which is not a bad thing. No complaints on the mix.

Great stuff especially for a few hours of effort.

thanks for taking the time, Sir.
it is what it is. like i said, i played it lots of times as is and
didnt feel it needed anything else, it flowed good enough to me

[fastlanephil]

Maybe it was your initial post comment but it did feel like it could use something but after a second listen it seemed to be just fine as is. Could be one catches it all the second time.

Interesting... enjoyably so

thanks for dropping by, Mark.

my thoughts exactly on the melody content. my knight rider
synth "Energy Pro" seems to be getting lots of use lately
i'm a little curious where you think the mix was flat.
i'm guessing it was the bass. i did use some overdrive on it
adding to the already high compression on the EVM bassline
samples.

Yes, the bass to some extent, I think is part is of it.

Also, it all seemed quite reverb heavy by your standards, (usually something I overdo)...Maybe the soundstage from front to back is a touch too samey?

NOT big points at all! :0)

[Rowbance]

Sound allot like 80's' Synthwave,Retro Electro Music. You nailed the sound very good !
Mix sounds clean as well. I'm a big fan of the drums you used

Would sound good indeed in a video game ^^

[Allomerus]

Nice perky track!
Like the bass and the pad sounds best...
Well done!
