dammmm this reminds me of some of final fantasy 13-2 soundtracks

Any arcade shooter would be blessed to have this as a soundtrack. Totally great.

Throwing down the power glove with your first OSC entry, nice work! Very strong piece.

Love how you fit the bassline and melody together thru the chord changes.

HUGE -- love the energy / stop / energy ... nice production!

The reverb on the drum hits is perfect - reads very well and serves as a great bkgd to all the fast notes.

Really nice track.  Congrats - good work.

Great to see you back. Good work here, been inspired by your work for... years now. And it's still going.

Here we gooo! This is my first OSC entry. With this piece, I experimented mashing together some basic EDM tendencies with weird speed funk drums and an arcade shoot-em-up style composition. This was a fun challenge; limitation seems to be my best source of inspiration so far. This whole process taught me a lot about what I should be focusing on in terms of song structure and sound design. Now it's time to dig into other Surge submissions and see what crazy stuff I didn't think of!

I used 33 instances of Surge. 9 of them are for reinforcement or double-tracking, though, so it's more like 24. All creative FX are from Surge's FX alone.

Channel FX used: 5x Fruity Limiter (2 for light comp on kick/snare and 3 for sidechain), 1x Fruity Parametric EQ2 for some gentle mix highpassing, 2x Maximus to beef up the drums and bass busses a little. I tried to keep it mostly barebones to maintain the feel of Surge.

Cyber music with a love for all things synthesized!
