Salted Veins

Tried to keep things relatively simple this week. Busted out a guitar for the deep 5 chords in the verse and
crazy loud distorted synths in the chorus. I wanted to record vocals for this one, as usual. no time.. I really like the ending wink  anyways.. enjoy

I like the verse and chorus separately, but it feels like they clash together here. Maybe the chorus needs to be toned down or opened up? Great track though. And I agree about the end.

hmm. not so sure they clash. but yeah. the transition is pretty abrupt.. would liked to have fleshed out the verse sections a little more. and as I said. it was meant to have vocals.. that would have ironed out some of it. also. the verse is just switching between I and bV.. the bV to V change and then the huge series of keychanges right after that might be a bit disconcerting for some.

I actually don't have a problem at all with the chorus/verse going together. I think it is a good little contrast that would have been better realised with the inclusion of the vocals. Sick track dude.

Those are really great sounds, that synth sounds great with the guitars. The change is fine, I think the vox would have smoothed it over though. Those synths in that chorus are really, really awesome. I want them. Really good writing.

nothing too crazy going on with the synths. its just standard flstudio stuff.. the distorted chord synth is a distorted 3xOsc saw.. the bass is a Low Passed Sine and Square.. the arpeggioed synth is wasp with some reverb..

So smooth. :-)  Woah, ending pretty intense - keeping it simple eh??!  Keep it rolling.  LP Sine is great.

hehe. thanks ctrix..  oh. its a sine and a square that are low passed.. the sine has higher amplitude though.
