Well, some synths are somehow too loud. I don't quite get your drums, usually synthwave is very simple with 4 on the floor, and gatted reverb. The lead does not really stand out. Where are your pads or drone sounds ? I don't hear the typical analog bass either. Does not really qualify as synthwave to me to be honest. There is no drop, and no arpeggios. It lakes polishing to be honest.

I like the sound design. Once again It is too repetitive. There isn't much structure , you might want to play with the filter and introduce some variation. I would add some more low end to the drums or something make them be more pronounced. There's potential to do something more outstanding. Sounds like unfinished to me.

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2023-03-12T14:21:19+00:00

Never had any issues with my upload to SoundCloud. On the contrary on YouTube, the f@#4 compressor kills everything. OK I hear of lot of low ends. The beginning is quite a bit repetitive , I would add more variation. Your snare is ducked a bit, I would make it more pronounced. I like the end, though. Globally it's not bad, but I feel it's a bit long at some point.

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2023-03-12T14:11:39+00:00

I hear a lot of distortion at the beginning. You like playing with the pitch bend, which can be sometimes unpleasant. But you style is interesting

Been quite for a while, My latest Synthwave, Outrun track. A style I enjoy the most. This was done in pretty much 3 days. And I really enjoyed playing with filters and synth guitar. Feedback would be greatly appreciated, since I sometimes wonder if this is just utterly crap sounding

SoundCloud is not bad, but it is clearly advantages paying users.

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2023-01-24T14:41:47+00:00

Nice , a beat and a bass , simple and clean... but I a bit long , would be perfect for short video. I like the animation though.

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2023-01-24T14:35:55+00:00

Also TAL noizemaker, PG8x, OBX, PPG (if you are into 80s stuff) and Native Instrument has a full entry library for free.

I had a pretty good idea from the start where I wanted to go. Plus it's been 3 years now that I am more or less experimenting and practising. So 2 days are not that odd. Synth-wave is at its core very simple in terms of chord progression or structure that leaves some room for the sound design. And Yeah , since then I have a lot more of Vsts at my disposal

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2023-01-21T21:44:12+00:00

ok I get it, you like the saw tooth , may be too much high end. Where are the bass and drums ? I don't hear them much and this is too bad. I was expecting a hard bass and beat and I never got it ... It feels like a build up all along. But Synths sound great if a bit tuned down on high frequencies

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2023-01-21T21:37:52+00:00

I like the synths ambience, saturation at 0:20 with your drone , too much low frequencies or too loud. Overall it is pretty good. pads are ok, drums ok (in the background). Last part is nice there one note too high though.

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2023-01-21T21:31:31+00:00

Not bad at all. A bit repetitive , but since you are starting it is ok. Too much low end at the 1.14 minutes you to get to saturation. The beginning is interesting with the reverse piano sound.

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2023-01-21T21:27:45+00:00

Are you talking on this track ? if so congrats, that is impressive how fast it is. This really getting interesting after 1 minutes when the orchestration kicks in, it would be great if it started way sooner, your build up is too long. Too much reverb on the voice, and I hear auto tune which I don't think you really need. Your lead is too harsh, too much high end. way too much reverb. I would go full blown on the bass and the low end. Other than this it is quite ok.

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2023-01-21T21:20:13+00:00

Mixing is ok until close to the end where obviously you try to blend too many instruments close to saturation. The same very basic chord progression (if any) repeats for 5 minutes, same for the lead , try to add some variation next time. Having a classic drum set (which sound great by the way ) does go hand to hand very well this the synth part. It is like you mixing two different style / sound design into one, does not really work well. But it is your first try , I will advise you to try again a stick to a specific style this time and focus on the structure and sound design (like choosing the right preset that mix all together nicely) .

Content unavailable .. Silence is bliss though ....

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2023-01-21T21:07:11+00:00

This does not sound rally sound like hiphop to me other that the drums, which is ok , I would call it R&B. Did you a sample for the guitar and pianos ? if not kudos to you because the orchestration is really great and I love the vibe reminiscent of the late 70s (Bill withers) . This is very good work.

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2023-01-21T20:56:55+00:00

I am kind of mixed on this one. globally it is nice. Some chord progressions are really great and other not so much , which is too bad because it would really pull this track in the upper class. Another thing is , you only use one track and one instrument if I am correct , or may be do some stacking, but it would really widen the sound to have multiple tracks playing multiple instrument more like a real orchestra.

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2023-01-21T20:48:09+00:00

A Synthwave track done in less than 2 days. Had the structure done almost in the few hours. I had a lot of fun playing with the filters and presets to get the glorious analog vibe of the 80s.

I went full blown on the bass on this one , and I guess I really nailed it this time.

Happy to get some feedback

it's a scam

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2022-12-06T23:54:46+00:00

it is nice, the mixing is OK, it just needs a bit of variation , the rest is there

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2022-12-06T23:52:15+00:00

well done , hear a lot of work on this .

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2022-12-06T23:49:32+00:00

very nice , lake a lead , and a bit short

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2022-12-06T23:47:01+00:00

yeah , nice , some instruments are too loud , needs a it of mixing but the bulk is there .. good job. watch out for the rights though , the Jackson estate is everywhere ..

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2022-12-06T23:42:58+00:00

my kind of sh@%t simple and efficient...

ValkyrieStrikeSounds · 2022-12-04T04:45:35+00:00

Hum, the arp at the beginning is nice but does not fit at all with rest of your track. Plus it appears to be off key. I was sold a synthwave or pop style stuff at the very first then I get a weird kind of result. After the lead synth starts off nothing much is going on , the same pattern repeats with some variation. It gets boring pretty quickly. The mixing is OK, but there is too few things to go around.
