big mixing decision on the kik style, and liked a lot of your bass sound and other elements. it's a bit "full-on" the whole time, maybe mix up the arrangement with some breaks and introduce some recurring themes to tie the various elements together.

Well, ****, does this ever live up to it's name !  And the sound design on those drums is really good. Good rhythm programming too. They're so upfront though, that they almost crowd out everything else. A bit of temperance might have been beneficial to the track as a whole.

Great percussion set - loads of power behind your drums

I like all the energy and effort you've put into the beats but I'm not really feeling the other stuff - maybe something led by FX needs a bit more space to breathe?

The drum sounds are good, but it would be nice to hear some small modulation changes in them - also a bit loud for me.

I think you have lots of great little bits going on thru the track but mix-wise much of it is pretty buried behind the drums.

Heavy industrial drums. The synthwork could match it was a some more aggressive hooks. I think your percussion sound design really shines.

Being a drums track some pitch modulation on the snare would have been nice

OSC182 - Charlatan 3

"In the annals of modern music lore, there lies a story about a self-proclaimed maestro, who in truth orchestrated disarray with every note he played. A symphony of chaos conducted by someone, known far and wide by his infamous nickname: Charlatan."

Made for the One Synth Challenge #182 with 31 Instances of BlauKraut Engineerings Charlatan³ Free VSTi. Every sound including the """"vocals"""" and the percussion are only made with Charlatan³. It's Drum N Bass but heavily tinted by my style. Oops :P

"On this planet we discovered an abandoned underwater settlement, probably built by an advanced alien race. We established a research facility called "New Atlantis" where we will continue our further exploration. We don't know exactly why those species left the planet or what made them disappear, but their technology could be valuable for Humanity. And there is more. Some of our crew members frequently report strange activity. People are talking about the feeling of being observed or followed by an entity that suddenly disappears. This could be due to stress, but... We don't know for sure what to expect in this world..."

Created with "Charlatan 3" virtual synthesizer. 31 instances used to create a track.

I used some of the factory presets and a few sounds designed from scratch.

Hey, quit your drum improv! I'm trying to play SWORD QUEST IV! I've been level grinding for 30 hours and I still can't get past the first dungeon!

---
This uses about 60 instances of CHARLATAN3. This started as a gag idea mostly for myself, but ended up being far more involved than anticipated. It takes a lot of inspiration from classic Famicom RPG's.

My drummer roommate won't stop practicing while I'm trying to enjoy a game! (#OSC 182)
