i would work on some of the notes of the flute and the synth that comes in at bc some of them sound off a little, also turn down the lfo speed on the flute cuz i think it's too fast, and also turn the lows down a little (like -3db) on the snare in pre w/ curve (not post bc you have the reverb) a lot of the drums you have don't work well w/ each other also, i hear a ride and a crash that are acoustic while everything else is electronic (made w/ a synthesizer)

np jus hmu whenever you need me

yeah I can understand that sb, thanks for your opinions and feedback

also the reason why i told you to turn the melody and counter-melodies up is so the drums (and their mixing like reverb and such) appear to sound quieter but is really the same volume as it was, just covered up by the things you need to really pay attention to

if you want dissonant notes, make them more quiet, but fill up the rest of that space with ear candy, or an fx or a perc (if you need to fill it up more with reverb)

that dip after was just to give the track a break and breathe. I could bring up the melody possibly sure. But I will smooth out that pan automation so it’s not swinging too hard side to side.

as for the arrangement, and that drop at … yeah it kinda loses the pocket. i was pulling back on the bassy synth for space but ended up leaving too much of a gap. maybe more bells + FX for ear candy too but trying not to limit certain parts/synths to certain sections

drum-wise, yeah i tried mixing some acoustic crash/ride with electronic drums for contrast, but you’re right they’re not gelling atm. might layer the acoustic ones with processed versions or just swap them for synth-based percs so it blends more naturally — also will def get out curve and clean up that low-mid overlap you mentioned.
Apr 14, 25
that said, i think you're right that some of the notes in the synth at that point might clash a little too much — i’ll go back and check the voicings, maybe swap a few to land closer to the key center.
good catch on the LFO too — i had it going fast for a fluttery texture but i can def dial it back a bit so it’s not pulling too much attention. and i’ll take your advice on the snare lows — gonna cut those pre-reverb like you said, should clean up the mix without killing the tail.

yo appreciate you taking the time to dive in on this 🙏 — i def hear what you're saying on a lot of these points.
for the flute + synth section around , i was working in G major so most of the notes are intentionally within scale, but i added a bit of dissonance in spots (especially in the drums + flute layers) just to create tension and keep it from sounding too clean.
holy shit my first chart, wtaf
added some fx
