Khouroux - Prelude DEMO - Khouroux

Description : I'm currently working on a synthwave/vaporwave/hip-hop EP (I'm always searching the mix between genres, so it's hard to name this kind of music), and I made this track as an intro.
I would love to have feedback on this, on every part (mix, composition, sound design ...), so I could improve the track !

It does sound like a video game, and if that's what you're going for it def works. The instruments that sound a little less pro are the arpeggiator and the video game sounding synth. I think what I meant to say was they could sound a little crisper.

I don't really know what you mean by crisper. For theses twos I used 8-bit oscillators (triangle for the arpeggiator and square for the other one) and I cut high frequencies in order to make them sound less agressive. You think that I could remove this cut, so they sound maybe more retro ?

I like the concept and layout. The only thing I would say is use instruments that sound a little more professional. Other than that the mix is good and it's a good length as well.

Could you precise what instruments sound less professional for you ? I posted it here in order to highlight that kind of things

Definitely super interesting. It kind of grew on me towards the end...I feel like if I were making a cool retro style game I'd hire you for sure.

Thank you ! Yeah I didn't really know where I could put this so I put it in chill out, but I knew it doesn't really fit ^^

Description : Made with a good amount of out of tune on a very minory chordy tuning I did about a week or two ago.

Lyrics are literally just an absolutely abrasive and unrecognizable part of the verse to John Lennon's Working Class Hero which
illuminates my bullying more than any song I have come across ever.

I named it bandit as a sort of that's what you get to society for people like me

Description : I wanted to create something similar to Celldweller's songs, but with a more upbeat vibe. :P

I created the vocals while benchmarking the vocal capabilities of various AI models: sound effects, transitions, etc. Modern AI models have already been reduced, so they won't be able to do that (I tried).

I used Audacity/OpenMPT (also audio2audio).

Description : I'm continuing the 'Unfiltered' Vol. 1 series, this is track 2.

Same as with track 1, i'm on the electric guitar/Squier Affinity series Stratocaster, drums and bass only in the beat, i kept percussion to a minimum to not distract from the guitar too much.

Made/recorded/performed in Reason 13.

Feedback is appreciated.
