Thanks! Yeah so as I said in my little snippet I wanted Mute City to just be a total blast of energy from start to finish. The intro starts off pretty standard fair, but when I got the chance to start bringing in things I totally did. At 1:20 I think originally I had just a couple of transitional FX. Then after some more listening I asked myself, "Can I make this crazier?" So, that is what I ended up with at the end of the day. Plus, the end is really quite bonkers. Also, as a fun fact of the day that last lead sound in there is a Clavinet made with PWM because why not? Now, with Cutting Edge of Notion I really wanted to follow Mute City. With Mute City being so full of energy and excitement I thought it appropriate to pull back on the energy levels a bit. So, I went through a lot of sounds on the bass and finally decided on a sound from TyrellN6. Apply some sidechain to the kick, some distortion, and lots of extra compression. Also, with Cutting Edge of Notion I wanted something kind of thick and layered. The snare is a wonderful sample with just the right amount of reverb placed on it. The hats if memory serves are basically 909 (open) and 808 (closed). But again it is all about that balance of the two to create that basic pulse to the music. Glad at least someone got the vocal sample at the end!

Nice lead work as usual, Gario. Mostly, your tracks tend to stay on higher frequencies. Try lowering some of your melodies one octave down to balance things up. The bit crushed pauses are a nice touch. I think you can hard-pan those sections on left-right alternations to empathise the malfunction feel. Also, sorry to hear about your computer issues.

Oh wait lol wow, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you updated it, ignore my last comment, I didn't listen to the updated version. Sorry lol, didn't realize until just now lol.

I was actually thinking similar kind of events when i composed this :D. Thank you!

Organs, organs everywhere! I got a new VST, can you tell?

Got an entry in! I'm glad I was able to triple the loop time. Still didn't make it over 2 minutes lol.

A very good tune overall. I'd say it's flawless if not for the A note at 0:21-0:23. I don't know if it was intentional, but it came off too strong and vibrant and out of key. When the same A shows up again at 0:30, it sounds much better placed.

Not familiar with synthwave, but this sounds neat! Like a slow Laserdance track. Great arrangement, cool sounds... I like!

Nice remix you have going. I really enjoy hearing stuff from the 80s and 90s being remixed with a particular genre style such as this. I'm more into synthpop and synthrock, but I'm loving this, too.
