@Davi_Jo I like that kind of dark techno, nice sounds especially around 3:26


an ambient track made for a new one synth challenge contest

Davi_Jo: oh, this is really good! Really digging those wicked effects throughout the whole track but I feel like it has a bit chaotic buildup. Not sure if it was on purpose though.
Soundphase: experimenting with synths as well as I hear! Snares aren't my taste :P

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I've also tried several stuff as I'm listening to more and more genres, but these are mostly some sudden outbursts rather than some actual and complete ideas.

My techno attempt. I was just fooling around with the percussions and left some atmospheric idea for the latter at the end if I want to use it someday. Not really satisfied with my kick though.

Some experimental thingy, I hardly have any idea what I was trying to achieve, just let it be as weird as possible :rofl:
Spoiler
This one is synthwave, I guess? Probably the best of all you can hear here:
Spoiler
Hmm, post-punk, one of the genres I adore. Probably works better with real instruments.
Spoiler
Some downtempo inspired by Ours Samplus and Kognitif tracks mostly:
Spoiler
And some darkwave to the end:
Spoiler
That's all I could come up with.

huh.. bumping this thread!

@The Convicted
None of your spoilers include any links... :( checked the source code and yeah, zippyshare is blocked in my country.

@Soundphase
The synths sound really fat but I feel its too dry, but this might be a choice willingly taken, but when I read "ambient/chillout" I expect a lot of reverb which this part doesnt really have. The part from 40 seconds on has quite an awesome ambient to it which I really like. Nice idea!

i wanted to try this aggressive drum and bass stuff, never did this before
even tried mine own scootervocals haha. it know about the lack of the bass at the kick, it's a bit rushed, because it had to be ready for a party



this party was called "sommerfest" like summerfest in english, and everyone tried to make a hymn for it, most of it metal stuff. might be the wrong topic. i tried my best to sound anyhow like ophidian, and ok, the kick is just a sample of running on empty :rofl: (wrong topic i know)



oh btw, the first half is made only with a donkey kong country 2 soundset, so ye, it sounds a bit muddy - you might recognize some parts of the melody :one:

@Neko that's really well produced, well done - have no negative critiques. I like that progressive style sometimes, and that melody is pretty chill!
@Grape I actually like it ("sommerfest 2019"), pretty original. Isn't that a frontliner midi hehe? Hardcore kick at the end is tiny bit noisy but still nice.

made for the new one-synth-challenge taking place this month - neurofunk insanity on 180 bpm

@k-star: i reaaaally like the intro!
but then it kinda loses energy and becomes random, esp the last 1/3 /:
also: the melody sounds kind of random.



my newest baby! stacked together some stuff and tried out some new "weapons"!
@Zanshi @corrupted singular It reminds me of something that would be in like a sci fi action game like gears or doom
it dosen't sound that random, i feel the rhythm it's got

the melody has a kind of jovial mood, I really like the tail of the kick even though it's timestretched a lot
