Superb track mate, above and beyond in every way!

While I do agree your have made a very good track the mix didn't sound right to me somehow lacking some fullness but not sure exactly where. I seem to be the only one so not sure what I am hearing nor not hearing.

A super track in every way! This sounds like a winner to me.

Lovely ideas and concepts. One of the best songs of the round. I especially like the natural plucky instruments. I feel as though the mix had something scooped from it so it lacks some bite in the mid range, but the song itself is very complex and ambitious in its arrangement that it still retains a lot of energy and power, and remains captivating all-throughout.

Great - good to have you back!  This really comes together nicely - so much going on but all nice and clear, well balanced and polished!

Reminds me of Donna Summer's I feel love.

This (hopefully) sounds like a bagpipe march, but not so much as a single hairy knee was seen - the whole thing was composed and performed on a single synth for the monthly KVR One Synth Challenge.

This instrument is fairly limited to basic subtractive synthesizer functions. It lacks modulation capabilities that even for such simple instrument are crucial (velocity for example). But it does the thing it was intended for pretty well. You can make great sounding analog basses, leads, arps with it. With the modern layering techniques it is quite easy to create complex patches. The VST itself is very stable and easy to use, and the CPU consumption is pretty moderate. I appreciate what the developers are doing to bring such quality instruments for a low price or even for free.

A typical synthwave track with my usual intent to create the "punchiest" synth drums. It has a lot of 90's (early 2000's) videogame music influences that I've grown on.
