Synth Music Feedback

The past week I’ve been experimenting with some synth sounds as well as different mixing sounds. I came out with these three different pieces of music.



Feedback on mixing, compositional structure, ideas on where music could be used & anything else related to the pieces would be appreciated!

Good job, the music is really good. The first version of the music can be used in the game lobby, if you edit the first version a little, you will get very good music for the lobby. The second and third versions of the music are very good for the background of almost any game, Tycoon, Simulator, etc.

Personally, I liked the second version of the music the most.

Not even bothering to tag this post? Okay, I’ll be here anyway.

The first track could actually use a really low hum on the bass, extra instruments to fill the gaps! Otherwise, you could instead emphasize the highs if you don’t intend to add bass to make it a slight more shiny. The current mood of this one is a cold and distant.

For the second track, I am not sure how fine the “blast beat” works on this upbeat style. It might have worked if it was a tad more intense in the sound design. For the other synths, I personally they sound whimsically fine and in tune with the mood. There are some suggestions I could advise such as adjusting the velocity on the synths, if it even allows that… And remember, melodic lines can have some “hops” by syncopating some notes. Letting it breathe is important(don’t exhaust brass players!).

The third one is pretty fine, but I think the mix is slightly uneven but still greatly separated enough to be distinctive between elements. This one has approximately the same mood as the previous track except a tad less paced(rhythm densities I suppose). Remember that the kicks can sometimes bleed over the other elements and you might need to duck them, especially the bass.

This music sounds GREAT! Nice job on it! How long did it take for you to make all of this music? It’s cool!

I think I spent roughly an hour on each one? I won’t lie, I can probably spend more time on my music but I also don’t like coming back to revisit it so I try to finish it as quick as I can lol.
