Yeah humanizing can go a long way; I do more of that with my rock albums. But with video game music I feel that most people are probably plenty used to hearing un-humanized tracks so I don't really find myself tinkering with that too much unless it really feels necessary.
Thank you for the link! It was very interesting talking with you; I really like how our takes and experiences seem to be so different but easy to communicate. If you ever wanna talk about music more, feel free to message me on Discord anytime!
