I put this track together in a few hours almost exclusively using Avenger's Retro 80s, Synthwave and Analog expansions. It could definitely be mixed better and is clearly structured to be a song (but I'm no singer). Knowing me it's probably something I've heard somewhere before.

Like it. I have the Retrowave 80s expansion. Its really good. I listened to Vengeance's Analog 1 expansion, I was really close to buying it, but its demo didn't quite push me over the line.
Not wanting to plug myself to you but you might like my Avenger "Modern Analog" expansion

Thanks. There are some nice sounding patches in your bank - just purchased!

Absolutely digging this very 80s vibed track. The mix is pretty alright.. I like your approach, sounds like a typical 80's mix. Could have been done more crisp and clear, but then the 80s-alike setting would be lost.. I like the composition and the sounds used, good harmonic framework with good synthesizer sounds, very nice lead bells performing a good melody. I'm glad you did not sing over the track. Surely worth the 9/10!

Thanks EatMe. I actually used a bitcrusher to bring the drums and bass down to 12bit 22khz to try and emulate older samplers and add some crunch.

/me smiles, I love "modern" audio techniques. Your song has something amazing to it, well done. The effect worked pretty well, it adds to the 80s feel of the mix.

Love it. I'm getting all sorts of influences here from PSB's to A-ha to OutRun!

Nicely done. Captures the vibe perfectly. It took me right back.

Thanks Rogue. I'm honoured that you've been registered for nearly four years but it's the first post you appear to have made!
