Electronic Music 411 - electrodan - Carpool Tunnel Syndrome

Nice feel.

For lushness/fullness, definitely play around with detuning sounds in the mix a little more.

For example, take two copies of the midrange sound and detune one of them slightly for beat effects. Or mda detune works rather well for this too.

Chorus > reverb (preferably ambience) always thickens things up for me nicely as well.

Love the intro
Yeah more detuning! I love when little beat patterns emerge, change then go away.... thats awesome. But...

but...

The detuning could be SLOWER. The emergence/evolution/disappearnace of beat patterns is toooo fassssst... i wanna chew on 'em more!@

nicely done!

As for lushening... yeah what Roshi said. Light verb.
Also light distortion before light verb, take some of the siney edgeness off.

Oh, and bass. Add some subs. Copy + paste MIDI track to another synth, -12 semitones on a sine -wave synth patch. Keep volume low enough so you dont hear it, but you can feel when it's there or not.

I loved this. The sound palette is yum...it kind of shifts from a 50's sci-fi vibe to a late 70's educational soundtrack. Great title too.

thats a good idea, tho I gots no midi for this, it was all played by hand on the Nord.
I could copy the audio and run it thru some kind of pitch shift, yes?

Yeah, you can pitch shift, but that can add weird harmonics that'll mess with the clean beat patterns.

Maybe try a "subharmonic synthesizer" VST effect like:

or a bass-enhancer (exciter) like:
