☑️ Key take-aways:
- Drums: Fluffy drums, clear, short kick and claps to cut through atmo layers
- Bass jumpy, groovy in drops, sustained in the buildups, landing on root note
- Piano “Pluck” for warm vibe, turning into the “key plucks” in 2nd Drop
- “Analog” top leads for rich harmonic support and “call-response”
- Pads: bright, many layers here to properly reverse-engineer the sound, you can also use less
- Dreamy vibe with extra atmo textures
