I think you’re right. I decided to introduce a clearer and more distinct theme to stand out in the scene—partly for contrast, but also perhaps because I wasn’t confident enough about my ambient sound. Since this is one of my first tracks in this genre, it doesn’t quite fit the ‘ambient music’ style. That became even clearer after listening to many of the great entries in this jam that really nailed it. Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you for your feedback! I’m indeed heavily influenced by Danny Elfman, and I explicitly asked myself while composing, “What would Danny Elfman do?” to bring more variety and try to be more cinematic. It’s funny how noticeable it is.
Regarding the mixing issues, I think I may have overused saturation on my tracks and made some poor decisions during the mixing process. I boosted the high frequencies and reduced the bass, so it’s possible the track sounded much better before the mix. I must have been too heavy-handed with the processing. It’s great to receive feedback to help me improve!
