I wasn't very inspired this week, so this is what happened. It's all over the place, BUT I kinda like the squirky sounding Old Depeche Mode patch I came up with and the guitar part isn't bad. Both of them would be better off in different tracks, though, so maybe I can plagiarise them from myself later. The guitar patch was created by ddmm64 on the M8 Discord and I love it.

Yeah, it covers a lot of ground but it's engaging everywhere it goes! I really like the mix of instruments you've got in this one.

I love this! It’s a lot more chiptune than you’ve been in the past, with a heavy dollop of Depeche Mode. Fantastic. Really liked the rhythm change at 1:00 or so, and then the lead that came in after.

It’s honestly a perfect soundtrack for my day. I’m working on getting a console Retropie going, and I finished building the LEGO 2600 smile

u had me at depeche mode!

nice!

oh my, this has such a great bass ❤️

I love Depeche Mode and i certainly get the vibes you mentioned there….very good stuff and this has a nice purposeful drive too, all over.

I separate the sessions for sound design and music composition. There's nothing wrong with "plagiarising" yourself by reusing sound patches or even entire sequences. That's how you find the right combination at some point.

After the guitar solo that goes from 1:15 - 2:00 there's this climactic breakdown in the track that I enjoy. And then the return of the guitar solo is real nice!
