omgomg thank you thank you!!!! my style, outside of what i mentioned in the reading guide, is also inspired by a lot of more retro games so i'm glad i achieved the same kind of feel!! mix is something i struggle with generally because i have hearing problems, so im glad i was successful at that as well:]
on the sea ambience, listening back, there are definitely some sections where i wish i toned it down a little, yea - again, that's in part because my ears work very well (lie), but also, i grew up near the beach and i'm so used to hearing the waves all the time that i don't think the ambience stood out that much to me until people started pointing it out. which is why i appreciate the note!!
thanks for the detailed feedback feedback, i'm thankful you enjoyed listening! i rly appreciate it!!!! :D
