Jay:
Let me tell you a little about the creation of this track:
ApoC contacted me to see if I was interested in a collaboration and we decided that I would just start a draft and then he would get involved.
So I just added the few chords that you can hear right at the beginning. Added a few strings, a Reese bass and then I went to bed.
The next time I looked into the mix, ApoC had already added a full drum set and had the arrangement ready until the break.
I was still missing a small main melody and added a few notes. You can hear it coming in at the end of the break.
The next time we were finally able to work together in the draft at the same time.
But I have to tell you, most of the time I just sat and enjoyed watching ApoC work.
He finally made sure that the track sounds the way it does now.

Now that I look back on it, that's exactly what it is (to me at least).
-
i think its the mid frequencies popping out too much on the reese
-
Sidenote(s):
It may be the fact that it's not sidechained (heavily) and I'm not used to hearing stuff without (much of) it but Idk.
The reese also sounds a bit muddy at 1:27 to me. I'd suggest cutting off a bit more of those higher frequencies (probably around 1000hz-2500hz), or lowering them, to make it sound slightly better.

My crit will be in pieces as I listen again and again and fight with character limitations lol.
\first crit, right off the bat: This track feels like it has too much reverb. I'm getting a lot of muddiness @00 :10- 00:11 when the volume increases and other parts come in. Instead of doing such a drastic and quick change as you did, I recommend you extending the length of that volume build possibly starting at 00:00 and increasing on a 40-45% slope

Thank you for all the time you took for the review.
the reverbs are probably my fault. I just love the Quasar 😄

The last thing I will critique, if I may, is the composition. The intro needs work and the second half of the track needs to be mixed better so that it compliments the first half but offers something new and exciting enough to keep people engaged and listening to the whole track. There's two verses and choruses, to be super forgiving, but the transitions almost don't exist. I would like to hear you do more work on your transitions and auxiliary sounds.
-
Then do the opposite, play the track at a very loud volume on your output equipment, and listen to hear what sounds are unpleasant, or too loud etc. This is a good starting technique to mastering a track and finding out what parts shine, or don't, and which ones need more love.
