Thanks! Glad to know I could capture some of the '80s spirit despite being born in '89, and therefore missing out on the wonderful decade.

Very listenable !
Don't know about Kraftwerk being 'late', I had them on my stereo only yesterday....."down.down,down, the autobahn...."
If your sorry about missing the eighties, man you should have seen the seventies, now that was a decade to conjour with!
Hmmm Garageband. It would be nice if they stopped the end point of a track moving whenever you copy and paste a new loop, like several hundred bars sometimes,and if you mix down and forget to adjust it, can end up with minutes of silence at the end of your piece. The ability to change tempo would be good and more than 2 plugins /track very useful.

By late-70s Kraftwerk I mean the stuff Kraftwerk were doing in the late 1970s, such as The Man Machine and Trans-Europe Express. Kraftwerk are by no means dead!

And I can agree with all your ideas for GarageBand. I'd also like to see more automation for things, such as being able to automate effects. It's kind of dumb how if you want a track's delay amount to change over the course of a song, you have to make multiple tracks.

I guess that's why they have Logic Express. But I wish the interface to it wasn't black and just looks so fiddly.
BTW if you want refill packs for Reason and video tutorials, plugins etc, you can get them here for free!

Nice! I love retro sounding cheesy stuff. :)

The early part of this track reminds me of some Amiga tracks (mainly from Megademos) from "back in tha day" ;) (incidentally they most of them were probably from the year you were born!)

Nice one - keep it up.

I'm afraid I have no idea what Amiga or Megademos are. Unless you're talking about the old OS, which I doubt. I feel like such a youngster. Thanks for all the feedback, by the way.

Whoops - sorry mate - I forget I'm on my way to being an old fart. ;)

I was referring to tracks made on a Commodore Amiga computer. They were made using tracker programs such as Sound Tracker, Pro Tracker, Noise Tracker or OctaMED.

The tracks were often made for "Megademos" (basically just demonstrations made by groups of programmers, musicians and graphics people to show off what they could do.)

They were big in the late eighties to mid-nineties. This is pretty much where I started off.

Your track has a similar vibe to it as some of these old tracks (unintentionally of course.)

Many well known artists started off using Amiga trackers. Cristian Vogel, Aphrodite, Claudio Guissani for example.

Anyway - Google will answer all! ;)

Sorry for the boring history lesson - keep up the good work mate. :)
