Steve- thanks for the listen. And glad you liked the slowdown section as I was worried that was too much of a musical gamble. And yes, all true observations. Though I disagree that dynamics are the "end-all-be-all" for a good epic. In the Pink Floyd sense, absolutely (Echoes). But I consider...

My goal was to make a blistering synth-rock epic worthy of summoning a god. What do ya'll think? "The Spice Felange" streaming link

Robbie! Good to hear some new music from you. Obviously a very and unique cool song! I would throw some reverb on that initial arpeggiated guitar. I like that subtle wah going on around 0:45. The bass synth on the chorus seems a bit loud - but not overly so. I would also throw some reverbs...

The instrumental sounds pretty good (clean) actually. The initial vocals are a bit buried, but the main vocal that kicks in at 0:55 is leveled nicely. But then they feel buried at the 1:25. This vocal would benefit from more power, not less (maybe try some overdubs perhaps). The instrumental...

Thanks PDP, and Chilli and Jimi - The guitar solo is meant to have a kind of Brian May/Queen vibe with a kind of scooped feel which I thought sounded rad. Does it truly sound bad? I eq'd off some harshness on the guitar solo and boosted some 5k on the vocals for clarity. How does this new mix...

I think the tone sounds quite good. The performance just needs improvement to fix those off-notes.

Dreamy tropical blend of genres for your ears. How does it strike you?

The piano sounds a little artificial at first, but once you mix in the synth @ 23s it begins to pique interest. Love the robo vocals! Does not sound harsh to me. The harmonies are brilliant, smartly accented when the bass kicks in. Are you going for a Daft Punk homage? Tell me, how are you...

No issues w/ this mix. The performances are also pretty solid. Vocals are passionate and believable. Harmonies are right on. How much bass did you eq out of the guitars?

Did you just take a worship song full EDM?!?!? EPIC! What church do you go to?! I wanna go. The mix sounds great in general. I personally might use a more "adult" sounding synth for the lead tone, with more portmentau glide so it sounds less stiff and cartoony, but if you're going for a fun...

Self indulgent wankery is cool if it's telling a story, or a truth and delivered well (basically anything David Gilmour did). Many of the guitar notes sound stiff, out of tune, or missed altogether. I would lower the guitar lead and raise the vocals. Vocals are perfectly fine and drums/bass are...

Alright I experimented with the sidechain-limiter settings. How does this sound to your ears? I didn't do any lo-pass work on it, just sidechaining off the bass.

Wayne B - ah shoot forgot to add the file. How does this sample sound to you w/ the hats?

Wayne Br3ttski - Thanks for the observation. I experimented with your suggestion and added some subtle sidechain ducking to to the hats and ducking to the high end freqs. Does it sound better on your end?

Interesting point on the intro. Does anyone else think the intro is too long? I feel the extra bars give more contrast when the synth bass kicks in, but now you got me wondering. Anyone else agree/disagree with the intro length?

Mir - Thanks bro. I really like your music as well, you sound like a seasoned producer, so that means a lot.

Mix sounds fantastic. How many are in your band? Drums real or VST? Was this mixed professionally? Do you do music full-time? And how on God's Green Earth did you go from acoustic folk to playing professional-grade metalcore?!?

No worries man, thanks for the review. And yes good call, the drums are fairly simple - which is actually pretty common for this kind of "synthwave" music. Fat, steady marching drums.

Hey guys - looking for impressions on this new synth track for an electronic project I'm doing. Thanks.

This really has me really concerned because they sound crystal clear to me...I can't even figure out how you're hearing "coffee" and "tea" - perhaps conflating with the correct lyrics, "glory" and "story"....haha but then again I recorded the vocals so I know the lyrics! Can anyone else please...
