Description

Been on a non-generic synthwave kick lately and have messed around with a few buzz songs along those lines. This is the latest one I have been playing with but I've kinda reached that point where I am ready to move on. Thought I'd upload it here and see what you guys thought.

It has a few VST's in it, most notably the Artemis synth that does the lead in the beginning. There's also a tuner on the crappy vocal track cuz I was trying to correct my terrible headset mic singing a bit, but I gave up. I apologize if that is a problem.

If you want to check it out, this is the lead synth and this tuner is also used in the bmx as well.

Any specific thing you might recommend? Like if you had to name one thing in particular that needed more attention what would it be? I suppose I can accept that the entire thing needs help as well as I kinda feel the same way.

To me it seems that the sound lacks of stereo space.
I mean it's like all instruments are very close. Perhaps you can put all signals in a Mixio mixer and use the stereo field enlargement. Or use a Rymix stereobox/Joachim Venus 2, Kibibu Stereo Tools or any other stereo widening tool.
Reverb also gives a lot of breath (like in the second part of the song) and chorus can "smooth" some sounds. But I dont know what YOU wanted as sound so I may be wrong I cant check your bmx because I dont have the vst you used.

Thanks for the tips Mag. I tried to put some care into stereo separation, but I'll have a go at widening and separating things more.

I wasn't aware that you can't load the bmx at all without the VST, I thought it would still load but complain and that track just would be dead. If it helps, this is the lead synth VST I used. The other VST in the file is a popular free in-line tuner called GTune, although I should have just removed that one from the bmx.

Oh I didnt mean I cant open bmx but if I open it I will not have the sound you choosed (I know I can replace a vst by another one). I will try to find some time to download the vst and listen to your bmx

Good Work

Perhaps a lot is done with some EQlizing. I would try some more highs and a bit more distinct frequency profiles ...
I use odten free CS12 vst.
