Hey man o/. Was you and msz that always had those solid pumpy tunes that sounded lush in my headphones...Almost made me want to switch up my vibe...but I sucked at making anything like that.
Noticed alot of the music from the earlier sections in here is gone now...Bummer...Though I guess this is WIP...
Could post one up in the afternoon after some sleep I suppose...Actually do have a tune I've been working on / obsessing about recently...though I'm only a few hours of work into it...

Hunting down some atmospheric samples and playing with sidechaining.

Nice loop, kick is lacking in lows though and feels a bit clinical overall, could use a bit of warming up and saturation.
Thanks for that, spot on.

So, here's the newest project. Usually try to stay away from F# -> D# -> A#...oh well. It's a bit quick into the main theme, but lately I've been starting at the build before a main theme and adding intro / outtro last...seems to be helping my workflow and arranging.
- Planned : Complete Intro, Next build and Outtro, design more intense / interesting builds, clean up and add FX for more interesting breakdown, try to tighten kick / bass a little more and fine tune low-end, better blending / spacing of background synths.
Maybe add a final melody. during the 2nd half of the breakdown into the next buildup...

Sounds great and a cool melody
Get some nice tight analogy drums in there

Hey, thanks for the listen!
So, the entire kit? Kick? Hats? Add analog percussion?
Kick...probably, it's a boring kick I think.
Pretty firm on keeping the hats...Was a pain finding a metallic / wet timbre I liked...and smoothing them out was also...a pain. They're much sexier above 128 bitrate.
Any suggestions on particular drum samples to peruse?

If I were to nitpick I would layer in another clap with a thicker transient but not over-so; that might help with tying in the hihats as well. I mean if you were going for hyperbeast production I suppose one would say articulation in the low end would need some work but you'll only get so far with your chosen floppy paddish bass. I guess other than a/bing the kick with some other tracks more or less the piece sounds balanced for the dated sounds you've chosen; nice mids dood: you can nitpick any track almost.
