Thanks for the feedback! ^_^ Yeah you can blame the soundfont for the muddy kick drum with the crackling, I used the same exact soundfont of the game the song I imitated the style of is from and the game is an older pokemon game so it's not going to have the cleanest sound in the world lol I also purposely made the bass overpowering because that's how the bass in the imitated song is too because the bass acted pretty much as the main melody in the imitated song with the chords acting as a background compliment that comes together as one, so I just imitated the style and did the same even though I feel like my bass line doesn't have much of a melody to it like the imitated song does.
