This song takes you back to the summer of 1986.

At least that's what i hoped.

Anyway, here's the ingredient.

FL Studio + Studio One

Maschine
Plugsound Pro
Access Virus

Slate's Plugin
Ozone
Equality
Pro-C

Great track and yes, it's mid-'80s style.
I particularly like the part where the lead and bass are playing the same line together (starting at 2:11).

Thanks for listening.

The music is quite good. However, I think there's a lot of room for improvement on the mix and mastering. It sounds like various plugins were applied without really understanding how to use them.

I agree, music is really good! Unlike the 80's however, it lacks dynamics...everything is smashed together. More separation between the instruments would really make this track scream!

Any tips on better mixing for this song?

[SampleScience]

Amazing eighties style tune! I like it a lot, but I think the mixing could be better, more space between the instruments like suggested would be a good starting point. But overall, it's very well done, you've really nailed the sound! Ad some vocoder here and there, and it could be a very catchy song in the vein of Daft Punk and the likes.

Hmm, i've been trying to mix it with more EQ cut and it does sounds better. I'm so used to boosting freq that i think they are fighting for freq domain as a result. I'll replace it with another version after i re-mix it again this weekend.
