It probably isn't complex at all by normal standards, but I mean, it's more complex than anything else I have made. I was really hoping to get some constructive criticism or maybe even some tips that I could use to improve on what I have, but I'm hesitant to just ask because I'm sure there are plenty of better ways that everyone can be using their time. If anyone would be willing to listen and give any sort of opinion though I would truly appreciate it. You definitely don't have to if you don't want to.
By the way, the bit at the end of my work in progress is just a message from Twilight about the state of the song, and probably won't be in the final version.![]()

Your levels
Turn them down
Turn them ALL down
You're pushing the limiter waaaaaaaaaay too much, everything's all distorted and it generally hurts to listen to. You're running FL studio right? There's a limiter pre-put on the master track, if anything gets too loud it'd normally clip but because of the limiter it just reduces the levels, if you push it too much it becomes distorted and downright ugly, just like this.
Turn down the delay on your piano, it's way too much atm, or at least turn down the levels on the feedback, when it gets more intense it gets just as painful as the limiter pushing.
2:29 probably has to be the least painful part, it's those basses and the supersaws that cause everything to get so distorted
The whole song sounds like everything is competing for volume, the volume of nothing sounds constant.
The compositions fine (at least the parts that came through clear without all the fuzz and aaaah) but dude, PLEASE look into some mixing tutorials. This would be a good song but at the moment it is painful to listen to, simply painful - and I cannot word that any nicer.
Placing my tongue on the GR meter to taste the gain reduction I some how improved my skills.
