Weeklybeats 1

New Year, new Weeklybeats submission and right away i caught a cold and had to cut this one a bit shorter and less refined as id like but i guess it sounds okay enough. Still fighting my fewer but at least i did not miss my first submission

The idea is from almost one year ago and i decided to work on it instead of starting from 0 to give my brain some rest and im glad i did because this turned into something quite nice because of that and the dark energy and synthwave ish feel to it and it really hits the spot for me.

Love the way you accent certain moments sparingly, makes those moments. feel way more alive in this world, like those  modulated synth drops towards the end.  Awesome!

Thanks!

Doesn't sound unrefined to me, this is great!

Great song! Though that pipebomb in my mailbox was greatly unappreciated, very inconsiderate of you.

Thanks! I like the sound but transitions and depth in the writing are personally not quite what i usually like to do but i am still proud of what it got to be given the state i wrote it in lol

Thanks man. Really appreciate the comment. Had lots of fun designing the drums and arps

Sweet tune, great sounding mix polishes it nicely

hell yais! love the sound of the pulsing arps with the head nodding drums.  Feeling those good synthwave vibes throughout. Swaying to that half time groove. \m/

This is great man, super spacey vibes. I really like it.

Certified banger 🥇tell us about your sound design. I’ll be back next week for sure

is there anything specific sound design wise you would like to know? those sounds are basically all based on either sawtooth or pulse.

Great arrangement great bass, love it! Is this a direct render from the m8?

Hi, yes and a bit no. Since the m8 renders wav i had to convert it to upload here so there was logic pro on ipad inbetween but there was nothing applied outside a slight volume push

Great stuff. Love that arp that comes in right from the beginning

Thanks! Great mix on the m8

This is so smooth! Classic dark synthwave with creepy arps, relentless bass, and appropriate stabs. Needs to be on a soundtrack.

Incredible atmosphere here, love how you give time for the tune to build up at the beginning, great use of space! Love to hear synthwave still going strong! smile

synthwave is one of my favourites!

Yessss! Really like the layering of all the synths in this. All the sounds feel just right & the piece evolves at a great pace.

Thanks for stopping by!

woah this is so cinematic and atmospheric, all the sounds work amazing together heart

beautiful arp to start, you're already playin my kinda stuff! Ooooh, smooth intro. Before the chord shift I almost heard a sort of Nils Frahm "Says" quality, but even with the arp chord change stuff it still feels in that space! This is really great. If you had to cut this one short, I would personally be interested in a followup week where you give this even more attention and develop it further. I think you have something gorgeous here. If you do end up developing it further, please tag me in a comment or something lol I gotta hear it.

Sublime track! It’s very confident in picking its moments and notes and rests to let everything shine.

Good job!

Love the arps! Great job on this!

long story short, i sent him some computer parts and was thinking of adding an popular austrian soft drink to it but having liquid surrounded by cables and a pcb might cause issues when it gets scanned for customs. now we just address this thing as pipe bomb lmao

LOL that was way better than expected
