How to Camellia [wip]

Your growls that you added in the buildup are also extremely messy in the mids, mid highs, and ear piercing on the highs. Try to not overcomplicate the sound design for them, as that'll lead to a messier sound. They also do not flow very well, and the glitch/growl artifacts right before the drop doesn't fit in rhythm, or sound design. You want all your sounds to compliment each other, not sound out of place. The end goal for a track/song is for it to sound like it's one singular sound

Manually sidechaining is tedious, but it's always going to be cleaner than sidechain compression. Also if you need, there's a few websites for converting ms (for attack/release on the gravity), to bpm. And the drums are lack luster in the sense that they aren't really upfront. Mid/side eq will also benefit some sounds. Another thing I can add is that your drum selection is awkward. The kick is too dispersed, and has a weird transient, with a horrible body. In terms making them lack luster

ahh I understand

I looked into the project, you have a lot of unnecessary lows and lowmids cluttering the sub frequencies (saws, leads, arps, etc), and your cinematic impacts don't fit, yk, the really tonal ones. Try keeping everything as dry as possible, then add reverb and such to sounds if wanted. When you try to keep a dry mix, it leaves room for adding cool sparkly sounds, and reverb, and delay. The sidechain is also too much, you're better off using volume automation, with how fast the drums get imo

yeah its really weird

its mainly the drums and intro

most definitely agree I'm not going to fix it so remix should be open

yeah i was thinking so

hopefully now i cant tell how loud my stuff is rn
