I'm getting 80's movie contemplative driving scene in a convertible on a warm summers night, vibes. The fast section at the end is a great way to wrap it up.

oooh those change-ups are so nice and so well done.
you are so good at creating a clean mix that doesn't feel sterile.
the gated reverb on the snare was perfect.

Aw yesh, give me that 80's nostalgia straight into my veins. Really dug the dynamic tempo shifts where you'd slow down and pick it up again.

TIL about duduk. Not any ordinary duduk, an electronic duduk! I knew a guy from Armenia, and once mistakenly assumed he was Turkish, big mistake. Tangents aside, impressed at your playing. Really lovely chill vibe in the first part, loving the joyful energy in the changeup at the end. The fast and soft arpeggiated bass is a nice touch.

oh yais love the instant 80s feels from those drums.  Such a pleasing synth lead line that floats over everything.  Excellent panning on the drums in the mix.  The tempo change as it picks up reminded me a bit of the theme to Street Hawk tv theme.  Nice work!

I approve this message!

Thanks for the kind words. The trick on the gated verb is to add it to the entire drum mix, not just the snare. That revives the snare-y tail on other drum hits, which people seem to like! (and I do, too, obviously)

Yeah, the faux '80s vibe becomes one of my favorite things to produce.

Duduk is wonderfully employed on the Dune soundtrack. And the "electronic" duduk just means is a patch I made. Here's a track where I really showcase it, and explain more.

Yeah, Analog Rytm is a better TR-707 than the TR-707.
