  1. The extreme panning on the synthkeys might be a little too much to one side. For the most part this is very well put together, but I would try centralizing the keys a bit more. And cut back on the mids a bit as it gets a bit muddy there.

    I like the stops, but I think that after each one there could be a bit more of a 'stop, build, stop build more' attitude to it. Eh, I'm just being picky there.

    This is fun to listen to and I sincerely hope you continue with it.

  2. The pads sound super swallowed in the beginning, I would suggest having a little something in the foreground. When the leads come in, it's a little heavy on the high end.

    After the synth organ solo, things plod a little bit. Try to have something to catch interest before things kick back into gear.

    The panpipish chord synth bleeds over a little more than I personally think is good.

    Otherwise, you have some good separation going. I'd put a little more attention to detail into the drums from a creative standpoint, but what you have is definitely serviceable.

    Good luck on your future stuff.

  3. Good separation between sound ranges all around. The drum hits sound kinda dry. Might want to do a little more fine tuning with the pitchbending, it occasionally gets a little wild.

    Ideas wise:

    Turn the background arp into a demi-melody and harmonize that.

    Original section based on a retrograde of the main melody.

    Play around with octave registers: place that arpeggio in the bass whilst the higher part gets the original bassline.

    Keep the harmonic structure but go completely nuts on new melody writing.

    Just a few ideas you might or might not want to use.

  4. All the instruments sound incredibly mechanically sequenced. Try some velocities variation to give them a little more flow.

    Right now the texture is very thin and sparse, making all of your slightly sub-par instruments stick out a little more. Vocals are mixed decently, but when you get to words, I can't understand the majority of them. Arrangement could definitely use some beefing up, with some original material here and there.

    Not a bad start at all, keep working at it.

    Bipolar Bird. PIano intro feels very unpolished. Too much reverb, too long release, idunno. Piano could lose some high mids. Progression certainly fits what you said about the source, mostly. Transition into electronic around 1:33 didn't quite work, imo. At 2:07 it takes another cool turn, somewhat reminiscent of a part of the castle theme from SMW. Then it turns into lofi chiptune sounds, and that didn't feel appropriate. Work on the transitions and blend them together more. I'd rather not have the chippy ending, but it's your track. There was a lot of really cool bits and pieces in this, but it becomes medleyitic... too much so even for this track.

    Almost everything you complain about was on my end. I'll have to go back and work on that then.
