[MollusK-Music]

Incredible melodies and instrumentation, as always! Regarding the technical bits, I must agree with Mr. Aeron. Don't misconstrue that as me not liking the track, quite the contrary actually. I simply think there are some things you could do to make it even better. One thing I would really recommend would be to lower that synth at the second high energy portion - around 4:01 - by 1 octave. I really like the melody there, the synth just felt a little to isolated compared to the lower strings and such. Anyway, that's just my two cent. Retrospectively, you did make me a beta tester for a reason and I should have given you some feedback beforehand. However, I was rather preoccupied and still am. Apologies for that. Keep it up, though! Getting better every day.

Thanks MolllusK! Yeah, I need to work on filling out my registers, which again is partially headphone bias. And yes, it could use some atmosphere... I always find the pads and risers kind of... lonely?... on their own, so I never think to use them more as enhancers than instruments. Ah well, something to keep in mind for the future, especially as I might be getting Serum in a few weeks. And don't worry about the beta testing, I know what it's like to be busy and I almost forgot about this piece myself for a while, to be honest. Anyway, glad you think I'm improving; the "electronic" part of electronic music is proving hard for me to adapt to, but I'll get there eventually I hope.

Melodies are on point. You still need to do a lot of work on the mixing and mastering (it's missing low-end). Also, it just sounds kinda dull. I think you could've use more effects like risers and sweeps. The same goes for the atmopshere. It just needs to be more lively in this song in my opinion.

Nevertheless, It's a pretty cool song. So keep it up!

Thanks AeronMusic! Yes, I still have a lot to work on with mastering, and I really, really need to remember that my headphones boost the lows... and I also didn't think to add those kinds of effects, but I'll try them, I do thing they could add something. (Some better VSTs wouldn't hurt...) And I'm glad you liked the melodies, those are my strong suit. Thank you for the review!
