LIVE FEEDBACK: chords so far are good, your desc. is living up to expectations Oohhh my that sub rocks my $20 Skull Candy earpods :) I like the drop!! Chords sound super good, this has good atmosphere which I'm a fan of. That second cooldown/build up I like more than the first, thank you for changin it up from the first Oooh I really like the arp in the second chorus

Something about that first break and bass seems off, I'm not sure if its not enough highs, or loud enough but i feel something The second bass that comes in sounds better, which is weird idk maybe im just hearing it weirdly lmao don't sweat it too much. I really like the outro, I always thought a simple melody with the chords rising in suspense is a great ending. Great track man!!

Hm the high arp is familiar, gives me xavi vibes lel. Some of the bass notes in the second drop sound a little weird. I especially like those first two bars of the first drop when there are no drums and the synths open up and scream.

intro is super pretty. the sub sounds like it's out of tune when it comes in? check that out. the mixing leading up to the drop is a bit awkward. the drop clips really hard and has too many lows. the sidechaining is also weird, the release is a bit too high for me. eq your snare, it's too thick in the low mids and doesn't have enough high end punch (continued)

it really helps to have each synth take up its own space frequency-wise. your issue rn is that a lot of your synths are mid/low mid heavy while you don't have enough highs. having fewer synths adding to your mids will help with that "pop" you're looking for a lot

I see what you mean. I completely forgot I put in a riser. I have a hard time spacing synths out soundwise to make them pop

i'll elaborate on "the mixing leading up to the drop is a bit awkward" real quick: it's weird how the pad drops out imo, and the sub starts to take up too much space while the riser doesn't really punch through as much as it should imo

Yeah. I'm always fine tuning it. Thank you for your crit. I'll dive back into it.

this is overall good work, has a lot of potential but is still super rough around the edges

yeah that kind of synthesis is hard in at

and aside from the growls i'm not getting enough variation between drops

the growl basses need a lot of work. they aren't snappy enough (i.e. the automations feel too slow) and they seem to be lacking in that nice crispy high end saturation. if you want to work on them go ahead but if i'm being honest i prefer the song without them
