Synth-wise, half of this is RYM2612 (a paid SEGA Genesis VST), the other half is prepackaged stuff like Messiah, ME-80 and MinivogueVA. Percussion samples from Trisamples Trapstep and Datadrive 80s Futuristic Retro. Quote

Audiomancer Posted July 8 Posted July 8 (edited) I listened to your latest version at work....I'll comment some when I get home and can listen and type/text more easily:) one thing I noticed and will ask really quickly I....is your bass drum tuned to the bass line? It sounds like the pitch of it changes with the pitch of the bass. That sounds nice. I'll be back later. Edited July 8 by Audiomancer Quote

It sounds like the pitch of it changes with the pitch of the bass. That sounds nice. I'll be back later. Thank you for taking a listen! And to answer your question: kinda. The kick is layered with an 808, which is tuned according to the main bass note playing behind it. The kick itself remains the same throughout the piece. Low frequencies of the kick reduce the low frequencies of the 808. Low frequencies of both of those reduce the low frequencies of the synth bass. All via filter sidechains. Best I can do (I think) to get loudness without sacrificing too much audio dynamics. New revision incoming btw Quote
