I've been dabbling around genres and I like how this one turned out.

Too short I know.

Lots of RADIAS synth parts, including the entire last 3rd of the song and outro effect.

Sound effect slices are actually from the simple Yamaha PSR-E223 practice keyboard.

Really cool. Nice beat and nice melodies. I definitely liked the last quarter of the song. I repeated that a few times already, haha. Though maybe there was a bit too much reverb? I think having a little less there would work well with those awesome variations you came up with.

It may be a bit short, but this is a good song that can be played in a loop.

I liked this one for sure. Nice job. Smile

Hi Again!!

I agree maybe a little short... Interesting melodies and great rhythmic elements!!!!!!!!! I actually didn't mind the reverb .., but then I like this kind of open synth sound to be full and rich thats just me.. maybe.. I enjoyed ever minute of this one!!

And yes .., if looped after all, the length issue just ...kind of goes away Very Happy Very Happy The variations in the voices used ..; I agree Awesome is a good term!!!

Enjoyed this one a LOT and Thanks

My Regards!!! Johnny, John, ellll Very Happy Very Happy

This is my cup of tea. I really like how big this sounds. Radias rules, I have the version inside my m3. I could take some lessons from you, I really struggle with this genre. Great layering and the stabs work is very effective. Good bass on the bottom as well. This one really kicks butt and it's really not too short unless you're going for a full dance mix, then you could go like 9 minutes.

Amazing! How you folks keep coming up with these pieces "freaks" me out....I`d love to try something in this area....but the bar is now set so high, although, it would be a good way to learn eh? You`ve got a nice "fat" sound here and obviously know your way around this stuff. Liked it a lot!
CHEERS!

Thanks so much for the positive feedback guys. I made that song after a careful read of this article:

This is very good. Nice groove, powerful bass and synth stabs. The sound is 'big' as George put it. There are some interesting effects at 0:29, 1:00. The sudden break in the groove at around 1:36 works very well too.

I like it. Smile

Hi Charles, Great dance tune! Where did you get the awesome sounds from your Radias? Cool! Your drum beats remind me of the 80's pop sound great to hear them today. A bit short in my opinion but still a good tune well done Charles

A lot of it is programmed but I also used a preset from the mikroKORG library called 'Sceince Lead'. Its a square and a +1 octave saw with some drive and an ensemble insert. Sounds really big.

love the radias

Hi Charles, I think I would love the Radias as well if I had one hehehe, I have MS2000 and MS2000BR, they could be the older brothers of the Radias, no?

Still, a great tune Charles!
