I can tell a lot of detail went into this track. Got a strong retro video game vibe!

I just aim for -10 or -11 average LUFS. This is interesting. It's frenetically frantic. Restless indeed. I'm not sure I want to listen to it over and over but worthy of respect.

I don't know how to score this. if it was louder, I'd give it a 4 for "keeper" because I want to listen to it many times. I probably will anyway - but check your LUFS next time! :D

Now that was fun! Quiet (as others have said) but fun.

There's a lot of variety in this song and it keeps a fun and percussive feeling. While it is a bit quiet, the balance of the mix is still very good. The timbre of the percussion sounds great, especially the toms which have a natural quality to them - that must've been tricky to achieve on a synth like SEM. Some of the percussion gets a bit lost due to lacking treble in its transients during the busier parts of the song. In some synths I tend to add a second instance just to add that "click" back in.

I love this interplay between instruments...

Nice false endings! Lots of nice details and surprises in this.

nice track - lots of fun, and definitely a little frantic, but in a good way.  Restless is a good name.

This is mostly an experimental project to test my new audio interface. I wanted to make a really loud mix and master for a long time and it seems to be the right opportunity. The synth itself has a good sound with interesting possibilities, but it's very off putting in technical terms (very high CPU load, very long project loading time, frequent crashes etc.).

This instrument is really capable of abrasive overdriven tones, so I decided to make a darksynth track with a bit of acid techno influence.

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.
