I spent more time than I care to admit on this one, but I am feeling kinda frustrated in general so. idk.

I felt like this maybe had some decent potential somewhere but I don't really know where it went lol.

I guess because my last submission felt pretty fresh, this one feels much less by comparison.. Also, the new tools are still helpful.. but I just want to be making better stuff than this lol.. Perhaps it's just general stagnation.. but I want to change up my sound more.

I've isolated a pattern of mine where if I create a song that is more than 2 minutes long, it is often of higher quality.

Anyway, I really enjoy this track I've come up with.. Definitely a stand-out in my own opinion..

It also is very likely no coincidence that I recently got a new tool for mastering that seems to be a like "cheating" way to make everything I make sound a LOT better. So this is cool because I find myself a lot more excited about the sounds and melodies I create when they sound more clear.

I keep trying to improve the song slightly from my first bounce, in order to get the mix better.. but then I keep adding stuff, or finding it still imperfect. So I just decided to stop and submit this right now as is, and move on for now.

But I really think this is one of my best tracks to date, so I hope anyone who listens enjoys! thanks!

Sup! I like the melody I got going here. It's pretty neat. Most of the experimentation here is with modulations and such.. Had some overlapping melodies going with similar frequencies to blend and resonate.. to me its interesting, but I could see it being too much or chaotic.. Also the lead's melody is mostly the same throughout, but then it has some additions and some specific note changes in the last half that make it sound different without altering the vibe.. it's like it sounds familiar enough to follow, but not literally repeating forever.

At this point I'm like kind of "over" editing it, and the track has a very structured beginning middle and end, so it's fine. Not my best, not my worst.

I'm not going to pretend to know wtf this is.. but I'm having fun making this shit lately.. which I think could be more important than actually making "good music" lol.
