The lead synth appears exceptional and large, however, when it is played together with the kick drum it sounds somewhat softer. Maybe it is a limiter issue which turns them down if they play together or is has to do with volume balancing. I would focus on how it sounds altogether before you focus on the most important parts. This is a great song nevertheless.
The point of it was to make it audible enough to be heard on top of the supersaws, not necessarily leading over them. Mixing/mastering on this isn't my best effort, and as I said I may go back and fix it up. Thank you so much for your critique! <3
Not gonna lie, I mixed this on a whim because the due date was the day after this was published. Since it has moved farther, I might make some small edits, not entirely sure. I am still working on mixing/mastering and what to focus on. I do not have a limiter on, and the leads during the main section and the intro are two different synthesizers, which is why they sound different. I wanted the lead during the intro to pop out more, while having the "lead" during the main section a saw topper.
That drop is super clean.
raised arpeggiator volume
smooth & funky
im not crying yOU'RE CRYING
Ooo. That drop is clean
That sound design is another level bro, awesome job
holy fucking shit if this doesn't win i'm going to implode

I wish I knew how to make synths like this. Crazy skill
