Nice resonating pads, love that. Some of the previous comment still apply (in regards of the chords). Mixwise it seems rather solid. Good stuff. Not much has changes from what I can remember.

Nice housey start. Gives me those oldschool vibes! Not sure about the mid-ey synth but surely there's a space to fill there. Very catchy groove. Looking forward to an extended version!

I made this few weeks ago, I thought it was junk at first but its kind of growing on me, maybe ill continue this one one day. its simple but sincere i guess.
yea the levels are off!
That groove you got going with all these sounds is so pretty. Maybe compress your drumgroup altogether to glue it together abit (and make it slightly louder compared to synths. It does hit a few spots here and there. Magic in the making!
@ST still listening to that beautiful midrange, ur a mastering master!
listening with my iem, I sense one possible need. like a layered in super soft and very cut off / wider kick drum to fill in some space on the low end.
I could be way wrong here.
another lazy loop from me, this could be really off due to said iem... the longer I work, all my initial dynamics fade. probably too much low end im guessing.
yea its not very eventful, doh. no ideas tonight.

Decrease the volume of your synths probably about 6-12dB. Bassline probably 6-ish or more dB it will balance out reasonable. This way the drums can pop too. Based on what I hear I'm assuming all components sound well individually, the volume of them relative to one another is requires attention. Maybe grab a reference mix of some sorts?

I just slammed Ozone on the mixdown and pushed the limiter, that's it!
If less is more think about how much more more would be.

damn i just listened on speakers, im really sorry for making you listen to that! these iems I have are no good for this.
my mixing techniques are so awful lmao. pumping sidechain too much.
i'll be looking to upgrade my setup this year regardless, havent decided if I want a sub or 8 inch speakers.
i made another mix of that piece on speakers, fucked this one up too..
I layered in a kick, except its phasing because its out of time lmao. the bass is shit I think, and its the crux of the bad mix, and the reverb mids are muddy. im so lazy with everything, not sure if production is for me.
ill come back to this stuff when I upgrade my setup, and keep experimenting I guess. i'll be afk for a while, may see u guys in a bit, too many life things happening. <3

Feedback is mostly still the same albeit it does sound better than I remember it sounding before. The drums do sound more dynamic and present.
Please still reduce the bassline by a very significant amount, and reduce the pads/instruments slightly less. They're cool sounds but still overwhelming.
I like the vocal chop in there.
I did not notice phasing on the kick, but maybe that's because I'm on headphones.

Whatever it is, I hope it is positive or will turn out for the better. Take care
