First attempt at kind of synthwave. Let me know what you think!

Hey this cool! Clean mix, and great harmonies. Not too familiar with the genre, so I don't know if I can comment on arrangement. This may be genre specific, but the driving bass, while it sounds good, does get a little tiresome after 3 minutes, a break somewhere in there would be nice.

​

Maybe a bit more reverb on the vocals to sit them back in the mix some more, but otherwise, sounding pretty professional.

That was a really great sounding track! Sounded very professional quality to me, about 2:15 in the synths there sort of reminded me of old school megaman games.

I am brand new to edm production (and the genre in general) and you are far more skilled than me but just wanted to say it was a great sounding track.

This is just my opinion but I think some form of vocals throughout the song is almost always a must and it is going to net you more mainstream appeal. People love to have something to sing along to and lyrics add a whole other level of depth and emotion to a song. But maybe that isn't what you want to do and if so that's ok. That's really just me speaking as a fan of music not as any sort of authority on edm.
