Thank you so much! I’m really glad you thought the vocals worked well :3 I’m still kind of reeling from the support from this wonderful community in that regard because I really thought it was a mistake putting my vocals out there until people here started saying otherwise!

I can totally see how it could give off spooky evil cave vibes, haha. The underwater elements aren’t super heavy, unlike the track I made for O2A2 which was very water-heavy and would have been perfect for this jam, but I figured submission wasn’t allowed since the jams only just overlapped T_T haha. But yeah, I don't think the watery essence of this one came out as well as I would have liked them to >.<

Now you’ve got me wondering whether I did stick with low pass filters on certain elements or if I took them off in the end, haha. My memory is awful! I know I messed about a lot with that sort of thing! For whatever reason, the low pass didn’t seem to have much impact on some of the stuff I tried it on.

I know a bunch of it does have it on, but it’s probably quite subtle. I guess I could have experimented a bit more with it if I had more time >.< There are already several things I would change about it, haha. I could go back to it and mess around some more though :3

Definitely love the idea of taking all the filters away in the final moments of the piece as you say :3 I really struggled with getting any sort of balance in that section because there were parts I wanted to be heard more clearly than others, but I still feel like some of it sounds as though it’s fighting rather than gelling together nicely >.<

There is 1 thing I am desperate to change about the vocals actually. I think the ‘S’ sounds on the 2nd part are too harsh and it annoys me so much that I didn’t catch that in the first place. I think a different filter might have helped on that front for starters, but really I needed to catch that in the dry file and try to edit it so it’s not as noticeable, or re-record and try to get it to sound better… but that would be difficult when I don’t really have a great mic and know nothing about vocal technique for recording, haha.

Really appreciate you taking the time to give it a listen and leave feedback! :3
