Technological Marshmallow - Allochtune

I have made this track some time ago. It's funny, here in the description I still wanted to buy the Volca FM hahaha. I still really like the 80's plucky sounds though. I must say that this site has taught me a lot. If I personally compare this song to my newest song 'Neon Tokyo', the quality has gone up considerably. This has been from all the feedback I have gotten over these past 3 months.

I have used gating heavily throughout the track. This track was basically the first time I was really experimenting with it. I have used 'Gross Beat' to get those gated synths towards the end. I am glad you like the space-beach vibes! And windsurfing on neptune is a really cool way to describe it! Thanks for taking the time to listen to it!

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I appreciate it, this site has taught me a lot this way. Thanks for listening :)
This track has also taken me longer than I would care to admit, but I have learned some new things, so that's good.

Cheers back!

The bass is heavily low pass filtered :)
I do think that the fundamental bass is necessary for the future bass genre.
Even though I have put a lot of time in this song, it somehow felt rushed. I just wanted to be done with it and start a new project. As a fellow producer, I think you probably understand this feeling. I have put a lot of work in it, but it didn't feel finished, in a sense.
Some projects never do, I guess.

I have never considered adding a different, lighter, bass in the song. I do think it would influence the range of the song positively. I will look into it! Thanks for the advice.

Glad you enjoyed it ;)

I have made that synth from scratch. It is not entirely based on a plug-in, I have used my KORG Monotron and sampled it. Then I put it in Directwave and voila. Just put a lot of reverb on it and you have a dreamy sounding synth.
My biggest problems were rises, build-up and the beats, so I am glad you liked the points that have been my biggest flaws! :D
Thanks for your time and your comment!

Peace ;)

Thanks for listening!

Thanks for listening! I am glad it has a good flow according to you, that was one of the things that I tried to work on (having good risers etc). Personally, I thought that the midpart was a bit too long, but I am glad that you liked the whole song :)
Thanks!
