Reminds me of the Yakuza OST's :D
Here's my entry for the 2nd round of NGADM 2024.
BEHIND THE SCENES:
Reminds me of the Yakuza OST's :D
Really moody from the jump in your intro! Great spacy sound on the drums. I would take just a bit of reverb off of everything else to give us some breathing room. You have a lot of instruments in the mids.
At 1:08, I love that wobbly chorus on the guitar, super glassy.
I do think that rebalancing the instruments in the sound pyramid so to speak (bass, kick, snare, guitars, leads, pads, cymbals, in order of loudness) and cutting out more low end on non-bass and non-rhythm instruments would lend to more clarity, which is what I feel is lacking here (though not by much!)
Your cymbal samples are sounding pretty good, though I would take them down just a tad few tenths of dBs all around, in favor of making more room for the snare. The body of the snare is getting lost on larger sections.
This composition really pulls you in and keeps you invested through the duration. Great job!
WOW 🤩
This is beautiful
