Hey dude thanks for that.
yeah i hear the 8-bit thing. The arp has a bit o Super Mario about it perhaps. Kinda had the feeling about the bassline too. I really like it so i think i may have got carried away with it
re the snare, you mean a bit more top end?
cheers0 -

yeah, just bring our the high end a bit.
Again that's just my personal preference, but I think it would suit the style of the track0 -

The male rapping/singing vocal works well.
I think the kick and snare need a bit of work to be honest, they both sound very flat.
The growly bassline is decent but the the synths are a bit reedy to my ear.
What's your process when it comes to mixing. Have you much effects on the individual tracks as in eq, compression? Even little hints of reverb and delay can make a big difference to the feel of a track.0 -

Great start, had me hooked from the beginning with the bassline. The vocals are nice and dreamy and sit well in the track. I'm not 100% convinced by the main synth. It's just lacking a bit of fatness for me. The extra element after the drop at 3.00 helps in this regard though.
Love that drop at 2.00 with the sidechained choir pad. Lovely stuff.
With regard to the pitch shifting from 1.15 I think I'd drop it altogether as it kind of comes in with no real warning and coupled with the change up in the melody it sounds a bit disjointed. I think you could do as well with a simple pad riser with the pitch shift on that.
Overall though I like. Good pumping house number. 0 -

thanks mordeith! yeah, they were some of my doubts aswell....haha yeah theyre feckin operator synths...operators great but it always lacks depth...any free plugins i can use? cant afford synleth yet haha
vocals were actually thrown in as a last minute thing to cover up the lack of stuff going on haha
ill see if i can fatten things up and ill do something with the weird pitch drop, tbh the pitch drop was actually left overs from an older idea i had over the track that i didnt use...ill see what i can do0 -

You could always try layering the sound with another operator track running a different oscillator type or maybe the same one on a lower octave and detune it slightly.
Regarding free synths, I find you can get some decent ones with magazine like Computer Music. I buy the online version (it's around 4 euro) and there's a always a free synth or effect with it. DUNE came with one issue and it's a great synth. Some of the advancd feature ares disabled as it's not the full version but you're talking advanced modulation and built in fx which you can add yourself anyway. Here's a demo of it:
