Fun listen! There is indeed a lot going on here! Sometimes in the percussion when there are many hits in a row it sounds really robotic (such as at 1:10), you might want to try giving each hit a different velocity to make it feel a little more human.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you tons for your feedback. I’ve seen some people do that but never tried it myself, will definitely give it a try 🙏
Great work rob! Would love to hear some additional modulation on that bass sound to help it keep evolving over time. Really fell in love with the cool alien sound effect sounds! And that cool arp sorta thing that comes in at 2:30, that sounds fantastic!
Cheers geezer!
Composition sounds like a spy theme but the instrumentation feels like something that might be in a Zelda game, really interesting combination, I love when someone takes a trope like this and spins it in a fresh new way!
glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the comment
Really cool track, love the cool usage of bit crush such as at 0:55, gave me some Disasterpeace vibes!
Liked the sound design too! I am pretty new to synthesis but here are a couple things a like to do to add a little more variation to my pad sounds! I love adding some random modulation to help every note sound a little bit different from each other, especially adding "NoteOn Rand" modulation to the panning and attack settings (I'm not familiar with Vital, but it seems to be a pretty robust synth so I imagine it has a similar function) that way every note in a chord will be a little different from each other, adding a little more organic of a feel to the pad. (I would love to hear any synthesis tips and tricks you've picked up too!)
Overall, very satisfying ambient listen, great work!
Thx a lot for your feedback!
As someone else already pointed out: yeah I'm still not very good with panning and rarely push/modulate a pan knob too far, and now that you mention it I notice I have the same problem with randomness in general... Always trying to add just a little and then undoing it almost immediately haha
I don't think I can give good synthesis tips, but here's one thing I've seen someone else do that I ended up doing multiple times: https://youtu.be/7qQX6YGBQEA?t=793
Basically cutting more of the high-end when playing higher notes, I feel like it works very well with harsh sounding waveforms like square/saw, and I'm pretty sure it can be done on most synths by linking the note value (inverted) to the filter's cutoff
Great track and touching story! Sounds like she was a wonderful person in your life!
Aye, she was. I regret that I only ever knew her for such a short time, and a time that still brings back nightmares to me... but I still respect her. Glad you liked the track, thank you.
I am super unfamiliar with any of the kingdom hearts series' music, so I can't comment on how well you followed the theme, but this was a fun listen nonetheless!
Thank you, Ian ❤️☺️ I oughtta link you to The Other Promise at some point, since this was the strongest influence on this track.
