I dig both of these! The first one has a real classic feel to it. I think it must be that saturated Rhodes type sound (like in this track). I look forward to hearing them fleshed out.
Thanks for listening! :) As for the classic synth, I messed with the settings of a preset named "Asia" of Arturia's emulation of the 1974 Oberheim SEM synth. Bass guitar was played on a five-string bass guitar. Will be revised. The bass synth in the second song is built from native ableton oscillators (operator), which I just kinda fiddled with until something OK happened, but it still needs work. I'm trying to always consider CPU optimization for eventual live performance, and native is the way to go. edit: NOTE: not "Native", in this instance. I'm sure you know, this is for posterity. In the modern age of cheating with youtubb tutorials, it's an entirely different ballgame than when I stopped producing five years ago. It's like finally getting cheat codes. And then crazy great software updates, too. I am not worthy.
