Not really, but you're creating your own style, which I think is cool.
Are you familiar with space age pop? Like that 50s/60s upbeat music you would hear in cartoons, featuring lots of pizzicato strings and xylophones/marimbas/vibraphones?
I highly recommend listening to a lot of this and drawing inspiration to add to your sound.

nah, I haven't but this is a cool album - will dig into more of the genre. any other recommendations?

my biggest influence is this album (theres an extended edition on spotify), but i wouldn't say i'm exactly trying to recreate it (or any other style/song)

Yeah, I remember I mentioned your track sounded like something you'd hear on the Weather Channel.
That's a cool influence too. You can probably chase the chain of inspiration back through the Japanese composers who made stuff for the Wii back to City Pop that they would have grown up listening to in the 80s.

I don't have any specific recommendations for Space Age Pop, but just searching for that genre should lead you to some gems. I'm going to start digging back through that style for some of my own inspiration. The fashion of that era is really cool too.

>>130103548
I usually make some sort of electronic music and don't really pick up the guitar and I certainly never record but I am trying something new here. I even have vocals written but only recorded roughly for reference for now. They're not in this version. It starts right away on the "verse" and moves into a "chorus".Then there's an instrumental section I am planning to fill out more and back to verse. I'll also make an intro.
Thoughts on the sound? It's probably not too exciting but it is pretty fun to record guitars. I have two guitars panned L/R in the verse and a third one comes in in the chorus. I think there still should be a brighter guitar that plays a sort of lead, maybe with quite a lot of reverb. I'll fix sloppy playing when its all laid out.

What's your all's thoughts on this? Is it fairly cohesive? I've been trying to breakdown song structures I like and create my own song off of that structure. So for this one, I used a style like starjunk 95 as the base.

>>130106353
sick anon, it feels like psychedelic radiohead. I think some of the drum / hats are a bit stiff at times, but otherwise it feels otherworldly.

>>130103672
I like it anon, its very chill... but its a little too late-night city jazz for sims (albeit if youre going for the sims ubz, you mightve hit the mark). To me, the sims needs to be peppy with more plucks and less crooning horns

i think the idea itself works and has real potential, but the sound selection leaves something to be desired cohesion wise. it also gives lazy/amateur when you don’t swap sounds on the switch ups, as do some of the effects- it’s not always the sounds themselves but the feeling that they were selected randomly or not processed to be part of an identifiable sonic palette at least.
>>
>>130103548
Anyone decent with mastering?
I like witchhouse and distorted loud mixing/mastering but I find I can't achieve their loudness and dynamics and often just resort to using ozone presets.

>>
>>130110276
well first off you need to look at the mix first.
you need to scoop your low mids way harder, mostly with the bass. also your bass stays pretty high which isn't necessarily always a no-go but it's definitely not helping against the pad and doesn't stack up against others in the style sub wise. the pad also shares tones with the lead.
all of that is contributing to poor use of room frequency wise, and will contribute to final loudness/clarity.
no idea what you're doing with your kick and snare but you want those to be the primary triggers of any clipping/limiting down the line so that they have more perceived impact.
>>
>>130103548
God imagine fucking a baby into PinkPantheress

>>130109521
yes. getting too much of the harmonics of the bass coming through in my opinion.
>>130106353
guitars sound good. drums are a bit boring sonically
>>
>>130106981
doesnt really remind me of starjunk at all, but its not too bad
also not a fan of the vocals, particularly when it choruses at 1:22. just feels a bit too alvin and the chipmunks
practice building tension, because pretty much every transition feels weak

I'll pay extra attention on humanizing the programmed drums.
>>
>>130111403
i dont think the issue with the drums is the quantisation or anything, they feel human. my issue is just they're not great tonally/sonically. potentially need some light distortion or something to help the feel

I'll keep dynamic range large, not interested in the loudness war.
But it should sound good on a large PA too, so that's a topic of interest.
It's Psytrance, kick and bass are the pulse of each song, but everything above is just as important too.

Looking to play/record solo (bass, from post-punk to something jazzy, reggae, Primus-ish or experimental) wondering if a looper-sampler would be a good tool for a soloist, as in: build the drums and other stuff using the sampler then play my bass along with it.
