Thank you so much for listening and for your incredibly valuable feedback! You're absolutely right. When I was mastering the tracks, I got the feeling that if I respected the dynamics on the purely ambient ones, they somehow lost... atmosphere, maybe? I'm not quite sure how to put it. But I noticed that by treating all the tracks as one cohesive block, the album gained a stronger collective personality and everything felt more unified, hehe. Of course, that came at the expense of losing some dynamic range in the more melodic parts. Either way, it's definitely something to keep in mind for future releases. Thanks again so much for taking the time to share your thoughts!!!
