I know how it feels to fix the song clipping. About the song, I liked the drop, although I expected it to be something melodic or relaxing due to the name you gave it, but it was still good :)

Vortonox responds:
"melodic" isnt one of the tags so maybe not melodic dub xd
I'll get the issues out of the way first because there aren't many and they aren't terrible --
The waveform never goes above a certian volume and rarely under a certain volume. It looks almost as though the entire song is limited. The is what causes the drops to lack power -- they are the same volume as the intro and buildup. Also, the piano that comes in after the drop around 1:04 is SO compressed and loud. It sounds like you cranked it +6db or raised the volume via a compressor, it loses all of its dynamics and takes up a ton of space in the mix, leaving room for nothing else.
Aside from these issues, I find the song's melodies to be pretty nice and fun to listen to. The drop's sound design is good and the mixing is pretty solid. Well done!
Vortonox responds:
the piano was full keyzone classic, i now use labs (chords) and keyzone classic (melody), which actually makes a difference.
i did forget to add ott and saturator, so maybe that's why

Wow, you are really getting better now! The mixing is really good! The arrangement is not bad, but it could be better, but this track is nice to listen to nonetheless! :)
rip volume lower, lol u made so many tracks as compared to me harmor op yes i agree
the synth for the melody is weird tbh
the growls do not seem distinct enough, then again might be due to lowered volume lol, i still hear abit of of distortion, might be my garbage headphones
Vortonox responds:
i use a cheap headset lmao
also clipping is kinda bad
also I rushed a lot of songs back in 2019 and 2020, so maybe that's why
also for the synth, that's only your opinion. for me it sounds just fine
yeah I'm still learning harmor basses
