Don’t overload the soundtrack

Overloading in a soundtrack occurs when too many sound elements compete for attention.
When numerous sounds are layered without careful balancing, it becomes difficult to distinguish individual elements, resulting in a loss of clarity and the risk of a dense, overwhelming soundscape that can tire the listener.
A well-mixed soundtrack, on the other hand, will have clear audio levels and a distinct sound hierarchy. Therefore, prioritize clarity and focus on what’s essential to enhance the story or action.
