Here's my go at it...
I tried vocoloid for the vox.

 

wow thats nice @capitan crunch i wish i had more to say but it just works. your mastering also got better, like its noticeably louder and richer than anything youve entered so far and overall clear, i definitely see growth on that side

yeah idk what else to say, its just nice to listen too; the instrumental specifically is well done, theres not a single thing that stands out or makes the piece imo, everything together as a whole makes it. nice job capitan

 

thx I'm happy you guys like it.

 

I don't like it...I love it!! I don't have the juice today, but I'll let you know why in a coupla days my heartfelt review.

 

Hey thanks a lot
Love how you described it the abyss beneath gave me chills. That tension between balance and chaos is exactly what I was aiming for.
Maybe he’s still falling... maybe he hit the ground and got back up glitching
Glad it spoke to you!

 

@macros mk2
Wow, that intro literally suspended me in zero gravity… and that little motif around 1:30 just nailed me. There’s a real sense of storytelling in your music. I love this clock sound accelerated.

 

Definitely, and thank you.

 

Hey, I really like your piece. As for you not getting it louder. Try using a clipper on the kick and snare or any other transient heavy sound to remove the loudest parts of the transients. I think in your case it is mostly the kick and the snare though. You might be able to gain quite a lot of headroom by doing that before you start loosing anything regarding the sound of your kick or snare. A click is a click basically, and you will still have that after clipping. It will be tamed though, and you gain a few dB of headroom that will enable you to gain more loudness once you drive it into the limiter.

In my experience the transients of the kick and the snare are the loudest sounds of the whole mix. At the same time they are really short. These loud bursts then trigger the limiter and everything else gets turned down significantly because of it even though only the transients would need to be turned down.
This affects the amount of limiting you can apply until it starts to sound over-compressed or over-limited. By using a clipper first, you will only reduce the highest peaks. This will mean you will need less limiting and enable you to get away with a considerably higher amount of loudness gain.
