this is experimental and artistic, which automatically makes it better than 80% of tracks on audiotool. i think the detuning really works well to convey a feeling of anxiety throughout the track. my sole gripe is that there's a lot of high leads, and no bass. would be really epic if there was a square bass acting as a countermelody. but that's probably just my bass bias

There’s a lot of potential here, it’s mostly just the mixing that’s letting me down

You could lower the highend on the EQ and gain stage

It doesn’t seem like there’s much headroom in the mastering either

the highs, i see. yeah, i kinda knew this would be an issue but i wasn't in the mood to do anything about it, i could lower the volume for now

For me it’s mainly an issue with the highend on the square arp

Do also keep in mind that this was rushed

If you could specify what sounds wrong I'll save it and correct it later I'm the future.

I know, I didn't have enough time to do mixing so I just left it as is

oh wait this is actually kinda cute!!!!!! the only thing im not a fan of is the super high highs, but it's a storyteller! could really work in some 8/16-bit game!
