All my music is starting to sound the same. I didn't feel like finishing this because I want to make something different. I know I said I'm trying to develop my own style, but it just sounds way too generic and I want to switch things up sometime soon so maybe I can somewhat progress in music. ;w;

If you want to blend sounds, in my opinion, it's best to start at the ground level. Make your instruments close to where you want them with no effects added, then add effects at low mix levels and bring them up as needed to give them that extra bit of depth.

just to reiterate, there's too much high freq sounds and not enough lows to balance, and despite that, your waveform is really thick, which makes me think that you are boosting gains and db's instead of tweaking Freq ranges or using filters. Side note it also looks like you have the same three or four attachments on every instrument. I can probably guess the theory, but the result is not how you think. Hope this helps! Please keep writing :)

Well the lead sounds strong, but vanilla. Eh, call me a hipster. Love the pitch bend. I'm a fan of those () too much treble. in everything, but especially this build. Add more drums sounds and alternate them for a nicer sounding buildup I'm seeing a lot of stereo pedals in the snapshot. Not always necessary, especially when you're panning. Try something else, or none at all. Stereodetune knobs on the Heisenberg or even adjust semitones for delay and harmonization is good too!

I feel like the bass should have more layers, it sounds kinda flat

In all seriousness, I'd suggest attempting a new genre, or, if you don't want to, just listen to more music xD
