MR21 - I’m A Skeleton

When I first heard this, I thought of Ghosts 'n' Stuff by deadmau5. I wonder if that was used as inspiration?

Nevertheless, I think this track overall has a nice vibe. However, my only major gripe is that the mix is quite iffy. The organs at the start are rough and sharp, but they become noticeably subdued when the other instruments, like the bass and lead, come in. But the synths also suffer from the similar problem. The issue might be that the instruments are too loud and over-compressed(?). Another example of this is at 2:15.

I love the section at 1:00, though. I would've liked wider synths, but that might merely be preference.

Haha yeah, the Ghost’s n Stuff section was intentional. There really was no thought behind it, i just sort of did it since I had good enough material to work with. The track as a whole is basically inspired by Ghost’s n Stuff lol

Anyway, yeah the mixing in this track isn’t the best. I could’ve made the organ sound a little more cleaner and less sharp, especially at the beginning. I mostly use Soundgoodizer to make the sounds more pronounced. I’ll definitely see if i can use another option for mixing, maybe with Fruity Paramedic instead.

But, my favorite part of all is the piano at the end. I think the chord progressions I made had the perfect feeling to them: slightly melancholic and spooky, for lack of any better word haha.

Anywho, thank you so much for the review! I really appreciate it!! :D
