I started listening to AEON st1 two weeks ago. Yesterday I also listened to a fairly new custom. They are both in solace mask but for some reason they sound different.
I listened to the custom first and got the impression that it sounds quite “busy”, a little bit aggresive, nervously trickeling. When I listened to AEON afterwards, it was so calm and serene that I almost thought that I accidentally played the custom in 2x speed but I didn’t.
I don’t think that I experienced this before with other customs. The reason might be that this custom is really packed: 3 cores, 2 essence, 5 synergies, 20 modules in total. I’m already thinking that I’m going to reduce the density with a new custom.
But anyways, did anyone else experience something like that? The solace mask of major titles sounding more calm and slower than the solace mask of a custom?
