So I like this. It's just like so...chill and vibey. There are a few things I would like to mention though. So the melody at 0:13 starts late. It's nice to humanize but for synths it's not really all that necessary. I would recommend humanization to like an orchestra song but for synthwave it's not really necessary. That being said I don't know if you did humanize or not but I would try to line the melody and the chords up so they are on the same pace. I also think the song could have been balanced a bit better. Like the melody is much louder and yes you would probably want the melody on top but you don't want it up so far that it starts to drown out other elements. I would probably just turn it down a tad bit since it's not overwhelming the synth's chords but it does sound "disproportionate" to the chords volume. I feel it would've been a better idea to drop the glissandos at 0:23 instead of 0:45 but it doesn't particularly sound bad with the glissandos. But here is the one thing I really wanted to see with this song. Introducing a bit more instruments. A electric piano would be nice with this song (probably, idk.) A countermelody would also be pretty nice. At 1:06 that horn is a kind of loud so I would also turn that down. I mainly giving all this feedback because the song is good but it has so many areas that it could shine in that is held back due to these problems. Still a very good job though. The song is catchy.

Thanks for the review!

[In My Soul]

So one thing I noticed is that you may hear the voice at 2:04 better with headphones (idk because I'm reviewing this at work and I don't have my headphones in) but it's not that present in the mix without headphones. In my opinion, it's important to keep the mix in mind for headphones and without headphones. I would just turn it up a bit more or try to balance out the mix a bit more. It's hard to pinpoint the issues without headphones but overall it sounds pretty good. Kind of reminds me of a Devil May Cry 3 track.

Psilenth responds:

It is pushed too far back in the stereo field I hear too and it bugs me too

Thanks mate

[Surge]

I believe some even cooler ideas could've came out of this if it was expanded on a bit more. If it had more sections to it I believe it could've been something more. It's a bit repetitive in my opinion but I really like the idea!

Desmae responds:

I knew it would be an issue but I uploaded anyways, the original idea was to make this an adaptive track for a video game, so it's why it can be a bit repetitive. Thank you! I also had cut an entire introduction section to make the song more easy to listen to for random people scrolling by.
