Aqua[cult]ure (Kallamar’s Theme)

I absolutely love Anchordeep, and Kallamar is also a great boss (and my favourite), so I decided to give this usually anxious squid a mighty theme. This time, I made a change in genre and a totally different approach. The closer we get to the final boss theme, the more epic they become, so stay tuned!

Sweet music, wish i was as good as you but im stuck doin' 8 Bit Music

GlowBoyMusic responds:

Most masterpieces began in 8 bit. Keep expanding your horizons and I am sure you will get to where you want to be artistically! Always trust the process, the rest will see to itself.

Mad love, Glow.

Going to leave a 5 here because I hate zero bombers. My NGUAC score will differ. Much love to you and sorry you're dealing with dumb GD players not knowing how this site works, not to mention that they do not have rights to use any song they want in GD. I say that as someone who enables all my songs for use. Not everyone wants that, and that's okay.

As a composition this flows flawlessly, no complaints there.

Mix wise I have some gripes, few
mix is sub heavy at sections such as 3:18, and snare is hiding in the mix. I want to hear more of the high mids on your basses

It actually sounds like the song was mixed loud and compressed down, as the issues of clarity improve drastically on thinner sections which do not have your sub bass throbbing.

at 1:14, clarity is an issue -- the reverb of the pads and sub is washing out your build under that tight compression.

Hiccup at 1:33. I think your synth had a minor midi stroke

In general I would prefer less reverb, less volume before hitting the compressor, heavier use of sidechain

2:15 you have toms that I can't hear over the reverb, which I would love pushed to the front! Occasional fills of those would be nice, with some sidechain or some such to help them cut.

Hihats and cymbals sound like they are pushed high to compensate for lack of clarity. I think pushing them down and snare up would help.

Otherwise, really enjoyed it. Great composition and smooth writing all the way through!

GlowBoyMusic responds:

Wow! This is such a wonderful and comprehensive review! Thank you so much for this!

I currently have a limited amount of music tech due to practically living off of commissions, so soon things might sound better just by that alone, but overall, I value this highly!

Thank you ever so much for this review, and have a great day!
