| 1108 Redux | Waving Goodbye | X |
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| A-Lin | Quexten | 4 | Amazing use of SFX! I feel like I'm on a spaceship!
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| d.healey | Nebula | 5 | Loved it! Feels like an intro to a retro video game! Wish it was longer so I could vibe to it more!
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| John The Bard | LMCWave | 3 | Super mysterious and cool! I just didn't care for the bass much.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| MyLoFy | Wave Rider | 4 | Crazy retro sounds on this track! This track felt the most "synthwave-y" to me.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| patchlore | Synthwave | 3 | I really enjoyed the super smooth and groovy vibe of this track! It was just a bit too repetitive for me.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| Sahaathyva | Ode2waveZ | 4 | Super chill vibes! Makes me want to go on a late night drive. I also really liked the poem reading.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| sg75 | Chunksize Mismatch | 4 | Just a nice retro bop! Feels super funky and it has lots of techno vibes!
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| unfa | PipeWire (LMC#12) | 4 | I don't know how you made a dramatic retro 80s song about an audio server, but you did, and it's amazing!

| 1108 | Waving Goodbye | 4 | Cool song!
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| A-Lin | Quexten | 3 | Would have given it a 4 but needs more melodic content IMHO
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| d.healey | Nebula | 4 | Not really synthwave. Sounds more like VGM. Only reason I am giving it 4 instead of the 5 it deserves
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| John The Bard | LMCWave | 2 | Needs more work on the bass IMHO, which sounds too flabby. Sorry for the 2/5, my nick has "Bass" in it for a reason! xD Also, needs more melodic content
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| MyLoFy | Wave Rider | 5 | Aced it!
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| patchlore | Synthwave | 3 | With better mixing and mastering and more melodies would have been a 5, good choice of sounds
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| Sahaathyva | Ode2waveZ | 4 | A bit repetitive, giving it 4 instead of 3 because you made a full track with Zrythm
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| sg75 | Chunksize Mismatch | 3 | I liked the overall sound but I think you can do better
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| unfa | PipeWire (LMC#12) | 4 | Very good songwriting, some cool sounds and funny lyrics!

| 1108 | Waving Goodbye | 3 | Great instrumentation but the vocoder part is too overpowering in the mix.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| A-Lin | Quexten | 4 | Very good, nice theme. Maybe could do with a bit more dynamics.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| d.healey | Nebula | 5 | Great. Like an old game theme.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| John The Bard | LMCWave | 4 | Doesn't really have a central melody but otherwise great.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| MyLoFy | Wave Rider | 5 | Great as usual.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| patchlore | Synthwave | 5 | Great, really liked the last minute.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| Sahaathyva | Ode2waveZ | 3 | Mix sounds far away except for bass drum clickiness. You were going for an OMD vibe?
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| sg75 | Chunksize Mismatch | 4 | Was good but didn't really sound that 1980's like overall.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| unfa | PipeWire (LMC#12) | 5 | :lol: All hail pipewire.

| 1108 | Waving Goodbye | 3 | - Nice lyrics and tune, robot voice was a bit too harsh for my taste
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| A-Lin | Quexten | 3 | - The motif is nice, the whole thing is very gentle and relaxing, I found it a bit repetitive.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| d.healey | Nebula | X |
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| John The Bard | LMCWave | 2 | - Didn't have something I can hum or whistle so it didn't resonate with me so much.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| MyLoFy | Wave Rider | 4 | - Nice melody, bass drum feels a little heavy in the mix but could be my speakers
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| patchlore | Synthwave | 4 | - I like the melody. I felt you played it a bit safe, there could have been more thematic development the bit of melody at the end gives a nice hint of variety.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| Sahaathyva | Ode2waveZ | 2 | - Bit slow to get going, picks up once the vo comes in, I thought it was quite repetitive.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| sg75 | Chunksize Mismatch | 4 | - Interesting melody, takes us on a little journey, some more development here would have been good.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| unfa | PipeWire (LMC#12) | 5 | - Great lyrics, catchy melody, good mix. Would be nice to hear some variety in the melody instrumentation.

| 1108 | Waving Goodbye | 4 | Instumental mix is very nicely balanced, cool synthwavy sound design. I really like the composition. As you pointed out the vocals could use some attention in the mix
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| A-Lin | Quexten | 5 | Would work perfectly as a soundtrack. Big fan of the ping pong delay :) Great main theme, very slow but powerful
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| d.healey | Nebula | 4 | Feels more like 70s electronic music (which I am a big fan of) than synthwave; progressive musical themes and composition, pleasantly supported by the sound design
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| John The Bard | LMCWave | 2 | Low end is too powerful and panned, which is irritating on headphones. Some lead melodies would make this more entertaining
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| MyLoFy | Wave Rider | UwU |
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| patchlore | Synthwave | 5 | Very authentic synthwave sound, catchy theme. Love the mix and automation, also the variations in the second part.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| Sahaathyva | Ode2waveZ | 3 | Nice musical themes, a surprising key change and cool arpeggios. Mix feels a bit unbalanced.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| sg75 | Chunksize Mismatch | 4 | Took some listens to grow on me, but then I enjoyed it very much
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| unfa | PipeWire (LMC#12) | 4 | Beautiful lyrics :) great production, left me craving for some variation (though the key change helped a bit)

| 1108 Redux | Waving Goodbye | 4 | Like the vox and the mood. Some ambiantish sparkles here and there could be tasty.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| A-Lin | Quexten | 4 | Very appealing stereo field. Great arps. Somehow I am missing an angry outburst of percussion if that makes sense. The transition to the outro is tasty, but than the outro is a bit short.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| d.healey | Nebula | 4 | Wow, sounds like a film score. To my minds eye its a detective novel at the country side - of course in the 80ies!
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| John The Bard | LMCWave | 3 | I like the vibe between dark and melancholy. Mix needs some attention (e.g. bass to is loud and too stereo).
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| MyLoFy | Wave Rider | 5 | Man, I dig that intro. The short break is just right. Just delicious sounds. Pure 80ies overdose. THX for sharing your Ardour session. Now I know the insides but I still don't get the magic :)
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| patchlore | Synthwave | 5 | The sweep/portamento thingy on the bass rules! At first I thought, the same on the lead was too much, but after a few listens, it is dosed just right. Gf likes it as well. I wonder how a solid portion of tape saturation would sound on the mix.
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| Sahaathyva | Ode2waveZ | 5 | The sprase instrumentation supports the vibe so, so much. I totally dig it. The poem fits the mood perfectly. Perhaps the snare could use a gate to make it sound a bit more 80ies?!
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| sg75 | Chunksize Mismatch | - |
|---------------+-------------------------+-------|
| unfa | PipeWire (LMC#12) | 5 | I was recently humming a tune. Couldn't name what it was ... wait, now I know, its unfa's PipeWire song :) Just great production, catchy melody!
