Hi! I'm new (and from Spain). I've been using LMMS for a couple of years just as a hobbie. I found this forum some weeks ago and I've heard a lot of creative stuff here (i don't think my tracks are as creative tho)

It doesn't sound as polished but... I've made an electro synth pop song among other tracks (or that's what I pretended lol) and I would appreciate any type of feedback. Thanks :D

Hello!

I would personally change the kick a bit more to suit the snare. (if that makes sense)
Maybe slowing it down a bit and changing the temp.

Other than that I think it sounds great!

Tips: The kick sound, that sounds like someone hitting a floppy pillow, might sound good
in the background of the tune. Put a stronger nicer kick sound, for the front of the track.

This track, also needs some good ol' volume balancing.
Because some sounds, sound way to soft, and others sound a bit too loud.
Eg. The floppy kick sound, needs a good volume reduction.

And as for the 80's snare sound, it sounds really good though.

Overall, this synthwave music track, sounds really good.
All it needs now, is a couple of improvements and it'll sound, extra better.

It sounds good dude. And from what I'm hearing, you're doing good with the volume balancing.

Advice: Okay, I noticed that the entire track, has a softish sound to it.
Do you have a filter, or compresser, or limiter, added to the entire track?
Because sometimes, those things can cause tracks to sound a bit softish.

Hey thanks!
I applied dysson compressor to the master track becasue I wanted to turn up the volume a little more without reaching the red levels of saturation. Did i mess up? :lol:
