DnB + Synthwave Part 2

[AgentJMartian]

I took a break from schoolwork to finish the third dnb/synthwave track I was working on...and then felt inspired and ended up creating a fourth lol. So here are not one, but two more songs that are part of my combination dnb/synthwave exploration.

This one is pretty heavily inspired by synthwave and synthpop:

This one was my first attempt at making liquid dnb, so it leans much more towards being a dnb track, but I tried to incorporate synthwave style synths into it to keep it in line with my current production style.

slingshot: Is a good sounding synthwave tune.
Strangely, something about it, especially the start up intro part, from 0 to 1:24 secs
reminds me of an 80's tune, my parents listened to, called "Lady in red."
I was never a fan of that adult song, but the music in that tune, was kinda lovely though.

better-than-this: Okay. The kick sound, needs to sound a bit more stronger.
The warping pads, do a heavy amount of justice to this track and makes the tune
sound really amazingly mesmerizing.
The entire track, sounds like a tune, playing in a futuristic club lounge, with lots of neon lights.
This one sounds really cool though.

Oh Gawd! Yes! That's the depressingly stinky, yet lovely tune.
Now the tune is stuck in my head! Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Haha I see what you mean when you said it sounded like Slingshot. Or, more accurately, Slingshot sounded like it.

Nice!

On Slingshot, I find the sidechain (synth/kick) a little too pronounced, and I think it does not work well with the 1/8 note.

Better Than This works well.
