    I love the overall mix on this – the playing is so tight an on point.
    MY ONLY critique is that the 6khz+ on those synths (both the arps and some of the less rounded leads) make them stick out weirdly.

    Other than that I really dug this — gonna go bury my head in an marmoset hole now.

    There’s a lot of fun stuff going on in this one. Good synths, really upbeat performance, cool drumwork. Good synth and guitar work here. Really killer soloing.

    This one is so well done it sounds like it was ripped right out of a modern video game OST. I hear everything very clearly in this mix. There is a point at about 2:05 where the synth that goes into a little solo kinda hurts my ears a little. Other than that, it’s humbling to know people can work this fast and pump out such solid pieces. Great job anon.

    Intro sfx sounds straight out of Along for the Ride. I love the use of sparse arp chips in that intro, wish they stayed for longer. Arrangement and production feels straight out of a videogame soundtrack. I don’t have much to say really, arrangement is well done and dynamic and so are the production and performances.

    Now back to some more synth pop feeling! Like the drums grooving for the first part, would have preferred the drums vs the electronic drums for those first few measures. Keys and guitars are all balanced well, and playing very cleanly. All the instruments are very well balanced, nothing overpowering one enough and everything able to be heard well. Good interchange between the guitar and synth during the second round of solos. Later solos are very technically impressive, and love the build up before the drop down to just the sound scape and the piano. Drum groove for the last section is very very well done. This is very well done – all in all great job anon!

    Oh INTERESTING. Loving this bassline. Synths sound excellent. Man I love the acoustic strumming hiding in the background of this. I kinda feel the piano is a bit tame for the rest of this arrangement. Not sure if it’s compressed too much but I feel like it just outlines the chords when letting it have a rhythmic role I think would really elevate this. Other than that, great arrangement, great leads and great trading.

    Another one that knows what it wants to be and executes that brilliantly. I adore the synths and the glued together sound you achieved with the mix. Solo at 1:50 is delicious, as is the little section with the 3/4(?) feel at 2:38.

    Starts with some chiptune chords and piano arpeggios before a couple synth leads and a break. I like the acoustic guitar, seems well recorded. We move to a faster pace around 0:32, I’ve been wanting something like this during the LP. Fun interplay between guitars and synths here. I feel the leads are generally a little loud, I’d like to hear some more percussion/bass, but I dig the mix otherwise. Fun change-up around 1:33 and I really like the solo that comes after. Transition at 2:21 is kinda abrupt but I dig the effects used there. I dig the small waltz-ish tease at 2:37. Outro is energetic and fun!
    Overall, an upbeat track with a ton of fun leads and riffs, I like it! One of my favorites so far.
