I like the overall vibe, just seems a bit muddy on the low end, could be my speakers though. My biggest gripe is that it's so short! and it ends abruptly in my opinion. That said, I like the instrument choices and the melody is uplifting. I think with some more work this could be a banger.

I'm glad to hear this considering it's one of my first songs. Another song I would like to remake later in my music journey!

Sounds good overall, but the bass is a little underwhelming. You could use a more distinctive sound with more overtones and try to separate the instruments more: more panning/sidechaining could make something less muddy. Some instruments clash with each other because of their timbre (that lead in the drop and that other fast instrument don't mix really well)
I do really like the bass sound in the bridge, I'd like to hear it about as much in the drop as I hear it there.
The hihat sounds too low to be heard well outside of the end section, you could try to get a hihat that goes higher to be heard above the lead and effects.
Good stuff.

SomeGuyMusic responds:

Thank you so much for the advice!

This percussions and wubs for this sound don't work really well and is really outputting, stepping it aside the chill parts of this song is what catches me, as it could be a lightweight drum ambient. I'll give a 3 for that case.

This song has a really chill vibe!
I like the dynamics, in the sense that you're not afraid of having quieter parts, which in turn highlights the parts with more energy. However, I will say that I would ease down on the compression/limiting just a little bit. As you can see on the waveform, the ends are cut off at times. This can be okay as long as it doesn't affect the sound, but at least with my headphones, I can hear the sound-quality dipping a bit in said parts.

I like the sudden ending, actually! Really solid work, in general :D

SomeGuyMusic responds:

Thank you so much for the feedback! I'll try to take that into account for my next song! I'm glad you enjoyed it overall :)

I liked it!
