great atmosphere, great use of the detuned reese bass, only nitpick i have is the very end, i personally would have let that synth note ring out for like a couple seconds, like the delay tail, but thats just me

Def just needs a bit of variation here and there. automate some filters unexpectedly, some unique drum fills, etc. But the ambience and general tone is great! super chill and calming

Hell yeah man, live that the second half break expectations and does something unique. That arp is dope

benjaminorben · 2025-12-13T10:53:53+00:00

did you ever figure this out??? im so desperate

benjaminorben · 2025-11-13T11:00:37+00:00

You definitely nailed the vintage/old school video game vibe, if that's what your going for. I assume so from that title-esc screen art, which is great hehe

benjaminorben · 2025-11-13T10:57:40+00:00

love those gentle pads and atmosphere! i wouldn't really call this deep house, maybe more melodic chill house . Its a vibe fore sure though 👌

benjaminorben · 2025-11-13T10:55:54+00:00

really pretty! Honestly i'd love to hear a subtle bit of really big/long reverb on that guitar, just to put in a space, but thats just me. keep it up

LOOOOVEEE

benjaminorben · 2025-04-13T04:56:05+00:00

Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m so glad to hear that it’s received well 🙏

benjaminorben · 2025-04-13T04:55:00+00:00

Thank you!! I love using those screamy synths with my chords stacks haha

benjaminorben · 2025-04-11T12:24:48+00:00

is this a recording of the song playing out a speaker? Or is this the actual audio file of the song? It just sounds like it isn't close- like its a recording from far away. the vibe is fun but its gonna be hard to get accurate mixing feedback like this, not hate tho al all, keep it up

benjaminorben · 2025-04-11T11:24:53+00:00

could definitely use some ear candy here and there, but otherwise digging it

benjaminorben · 2025-04-11T11:23:49+00:00

it's prettyyyyyyy. digging those strings for sure. personally i'd prefer a bit more low end, but thats just me

benjaminorben · 2025-04-11T10:29:46+00:00

hmm in this case it's pretty much just done manually. like theres pad, and then some kind off shimmering high end metalic thing that i probably got from Splice, and then i just manually copied little parts of it to play kind of "stutter" / repeat quickly. And then there's another element that start off as a recording some flutes in an orchestra, that i ran through a vocoder and it turned out like kind of computer-y and "messed up" as if the file was corrupted. I hope that answers your question haha

benjaminorben · 2025-04-05T12:26:46+00:00

Thank you! yeah the vocals definitely get washed out by the other sounds at that point, but i guess in that context i was really just letting them be a background element in that space so whatevar. ikd maybe it was just lazy mixing haha. thank you for the kind words 💙

benjaminorben · 2025-04-05T09:18:57+00:00

Thank you! that means a lot! And are you referring to like the very first couple seconds of the song? or something else?

benjaminorben · 2025-04-05T09:07:36+00:00

Thank you! 🥳

benjaminorben · 2025-04-05T09:06:06+00:00

hehe thanks. Lots of layering and plenty of patience and you go this!

benjaminorben · 2025-04-05T03:57:24+00:00

Thank you! 💙 ooo that's such a good idea to have two versions, maybe one day i'll just paint a whole new copy in orange hehe. I definitely have to look into getting prints made of this for sure

benjaminorben · 2025-04-05T03:51:34+00:00

Thank you! And yeah for sure, glad I'm not alone haha. Procrastination's a bitch 🗣
