9th song, 'Eula'- I tried a more 'mainstream' feel this time

A new song! I tried changing my style around some more, experimenting with minor chords, lots of compression, piano sounds (created through Vibed), a simpler and more consistent melody, and much quieter bass compared to much of my 'usual' music.

I was actually quite inspired by 'Fade' by Alan Walker, and it influenced this track quite a bit, mainly with the hard and powerful compression.

I really need some feedback, is this track any good?
What would you change within the song? What do you like?
Is this departure from my usual 'style' good or bad?

Nice feel!

Via my headphones I have the impression you can increase the volume of the kick. For example, write somewhere the initial value of the volume, then set it to 0, and increase it gradually until it feels good, or better. If it does not suit you, you can reset its initial value.

I would also say that the "boom" that appears at 00m34s seems too strong, or that its impact seems too strong compared to what is happening at that time.

As for the questions you ask, I just tell you to continue, continue your experiments, continue to discover what LMMS allows you to do with synths and effects, continue to learn and read (and continue to share your progress).

It sounds great and I like the sound of it too. :)

TIp: A louder kick sound, will make this tune, sound even more exciting. :)
