Thank you very much :)

If ParagonX9 was still writing music I'm sure their contemporary dnb sound would be something like this. Hella throwback to the old video game dnb sound Newgrounds helped popularize but with some modern mixing twists. Looks like the track is being unnecessarily compressed. It's either a limiter on the master out or a compressor/limiter on every instrument. I learn towards the first. The degree of foot shooting that goes into over compressing can usually be fixed with a button press or two.

A lot of producers avoid mixing bricks because of the negative aspects that can come from over compression but then they simultaneously over limit themselves and they never find the outer limits of what they can compress to. It's really confusing at first but EDM artists should mix a few "bricks" just to learn where that fine line is. The track still sounds great though, amazing work. Beautiful melodies, textures, and drums. I'm currently sharing an office and can't let this track rip. My open back headphones would interfere with my fiancé's conference call, they have speakers on the outside of the cans to create more space and atmosphere in the sound, depth. The downside is that anyone can hear what you're listening to :C

Cheers Takobai! I'll have to dig into some of your other tunes later today when I have the office to myself :3

edit: furry? the heck is that tag doing XD

TakobaiMusic responds:

Really appreciate the feedback and comment. I will admit I still have a lot to learn about using a limiter and compresser. I currently have my project/template set in way that each instruments goes to indivial busses (One for basses, one for leads, ect) then I do compress on the bus THEN again slightly on the master with Ozone. I will try to hold back on it.

edit: my previous works are less of the vibes, im still finding my mark but I really LOVE this vibe/genre with this current track.

this slaps indeed

TakobaiMusic responds:

Thank you very much <3

This song is amazing! I would love to use it in a Geometry Dash level, however when I try to put it in game it says it is not allowed for use. :(

TakobaiMusic responds:

That's odd, you should be able to.
