I made this track with the intention of making it more optimistic sounding in comparison to many of my other works, which seem to have a more darker attitude. This was made with pure fun in mind and since I will admit, having a guilty pleasure for Eurobeat, I figured it was the most optimal style to bring out a heavy, yet still fun approach to music, which I think my stuff as of late has been more serious, though not on purpose.


EDIT : There was section I went back into and fixed the dissonance that came unnoticed at the time to me.

I like the airy synths at the beginning and the uptempo beat. The drums are a tad generic, and the piece is slow to progress at first, but I really like the frantic synth lines at :46 and the overlapping rhythmic patterns between the different instruments. The sound design is a bit cheesy at times, but also fits the style of the piece well. At times, there are moments of dissonance in the texture, like at 1:59, and also some rough transitions, like at 2:07.

The mixing is pretty good, although many of the instruments sound pretty dry in the texture. The lead synth and snare could probably use some reverb. I can barely hear the snare for most of the piece, so it might be worth slapping a compressor on it as well, and maybe boost the mid-range tones in the EQ. This piece also has a pretty constant energy level - at some point, it would’ve been nice to strip away the beat and go in a more atmospheric or at least slow-paced direction, just for some variety. That said, I like the bridge at 3:18, which served as a nice “point of arrival” later in the piece, although you could’ve sold it better with a more sustained tonic note there and some dramatic drum fill or something.

Overall, I enjoy the energetic synth lines, rhythmic content, and sound design here. Creating more interest via mixing effects and more of an ebb and flow of the intensity of your track over time would be a good next step for you. Still, you nailed the blissful VGM vibe here. Keep at it, Cavernsparten! ^_^

Can't say I know who that is, but I thank the compliment.
