thank you so much!! I know it's a long one so I appreciate everyone taking the time to listen to my OST and provide feedback. for a lot of the panning, i just use an effects subtle stereo and around the head and adjust to my needs, super handy when used alongside automation. I'm not good at mastering and all that so still playing with a lot of those things :p as for the cover art, it is all AI generated. I know a lot of people have their issues with that... How I use it is I will make a really terrible sketch of what I generally want (cause I'm not that great of an artist) and then I'll feed my sketch into it and keep re-rendering until it looks kinda like how I want. Sometimes I'll just give it an abstract color mash up as well like the 5th and 9th track images. as an example this was my original sketch of boat vs sea monster if you want a chuckle:
