N O S T A L G I A

This is a track I made on my OP-XY. I find that device to be extremely versatile and capable of capturing whatever you're feeling on any given day. I disagree with the price but I don't regret a single penny spent on it.  Thanks for checkin out my tune!

Love this laid-back funk, so slick how the wobbling synths and wah-guitar-like sounds all wiggle around the beat in this crunchy cozy lofi space heart

Thank you! Man I love how so many people give feedback on this site, I'm so used to just posting songs and barely even getting likes or acknowledgment at all so I really appreciate you and everyone that engages with the music here.  So many great artists all in one place.

Yeah, I agree, wah wah!

This is giving me late 2000s/early 2010s SoCal vibes. Like this would fit right in in the GTA V score

Really nice track, are the melodic parts also made/arranged on the OP-XY?

and of course as others have said: wah wah!

Haha thank you and yeah, it was all made on the op-xy.  It is such a versatile device, it's crazy the sound you can get from it. it having a pretty good multi sampler also really opens up the capabilities of sound.

Those hi hats are lush, what's your fx chain on them?

Thanks dude, I think I just got lucky with the mix because this is just a raw recording out from the OPXY into my phone where I recorded the master track. I didn't record different stems or anything so it's just the way that I mixed it on machine.  Just messed with the volume and panning and stuff, and also have to clean up the "mud" in the mix by only allowing each sound to have their own specific frequencies that the other sounds can't touch.

You might know this already but it's just where you basically go through all of your samples and sounds, for instance the high hat sample, I turned the low end all the way down even though you probably couldn't hear it anyway, that just leaves more room for the kick drum to hit harder, vice versa, because even though there isn't a low end and I had sample and there is still like a subtle silent noise that plays and if you don't turn that subtle noise down on all the samples then it'll just muddy up to kick.  Same goes for every other sample and their frequencies.  You gotta give each one their own frequency and the other ones need to not be anywhere near that frequency.  It gets complicated when you're layering melodies but it makes a difference, even just doing it really quick.  turn down the high end on the kick drum sample even though there's nothing really there anyway, it still turns down the "silent noise" that you don't realize is there, that allows the high hats to sound better and cleaner, or just however you want them to sound you have more control over them when you free up the frequencies.  Man I'm so bad at explaining things.
