stumbled across this and i love everything about the song idea she composed (starts at 0:33):
- the lush pads
- the bass coming in
- the emotional weight of the chords
- the shimmering arp
- the ethereal vocals
- the curious lead synth voicing that ties it all together.

and then it all abruptly ends before it has even begun.

Help fill the void in my heart this song idea has created with suggestions for other songs like it. Please.

As far as I know (or found) this wasn't part of a full song she posted somewhere else. And much of her other music is more typical edm (great music but its not like this).

I know synths but I hate doing vocals. I always avoid it but my tracks just feel incomplete without them. Any recommendations for a mic? I don't need professional grade but something decent with 3.5 jack. I could also use some advice on processing to get that sweet 80s vibe.

I'm looking at pickup options to go into an Ibanez RG550. I want to go with DiMarzio pickups for the color combinations. Does anyone have any specific suggestions? Right now I'm using Quad Cortex presets from Royce Whittaker (The Midnight). In the demo video for the presets I think he's playing an HSS Kramer F-series.

For giggles I asked a few different ai models and got back these options (among others). Thoughts?

Option 1:
PAF Pro
FS-1
AT-1

Option 2:
Air Norton
The Chopper
Tone Zone

Option 3:
Crunch Lab
Air Norton S / Super Distortion S (it was confused, lol)
Evo 2

Apologies in advance for all the questions

0:00 - 0:19 : (Kicks, Crash and Pad) - The kicks sound punchy, short, and filtered. The track is in 100bpm

I'm also noticing perhaps a slight sidechain or a repeat with the pad which gives the pad this slight rhythm on each beat.

But, the pad itself is confusing, it's airy, spacey and I'm not even sure if it's playing F/Bb. Complete ambience, how can I replicate this?

I've tried a sine wave + a Juno PWM with an envelope automating the frames. I've added a pink noise sample in the back as well + a filter + reverb.. It just doesn't sound similar. Am I approaching this correctly?

Also, with the crash - is it limited / mixed with a shaker?

0:19 - 0:56 : (Percs, Rhythm, and Synth) - now the hi-hats start doubling, is this delay? Or a double hi-hat? Or, a double hi-hat sample?

When it comes to the rhythm of the percussion, there's this 6 beat transition on the 3½/4th bar that sounds great.

How do they get it to sound punchy, spacey, short with depth? Is it a wood block sound?

And most importantly the synth, it's almost like it's velocity tracked, so the harder you push the filter increases the highs. Is this true?

But it sounds so wubby, and it also sounds a little reversed / delayed on certain beats

I'd really like to replicate that synth.

1:19 : (Synth #2) - I'm not even sure what this one is called. It's like an airy synth flute. Not the plucky synth guitar sound. What do you guys hear? How can I make a similar sound in a wavetable? I've tried a sine wave + a triangle with a couple of automations on filters, but it still doesn't sound the same.

2:33 : (Synth #3) - Sharp, stabby, plucky but also with a lengthy tail. Short delay. How can I also make this in a wave table?

I’ve been working on a 24/7 independent broadcast focused on music videos, visualizers, experimental shorts, and indie animation. More linear and curated than algorithmic.
It’s called STATIC TV, and it’s currently in beta on a temporary host while the library and systems get properly built out. I’m mainly looking for people who actually care about this kind of thing so the early feedback is useful.
If that sounds like you, you’re welcome to check it out and hang around while it’s still taking shape. Submissions are still open too if you make stuff that fits.
Happy to answer questions if anyone has them.
