Evo, you mentioned the kick..I made an adjustment on it,better?
Still working on it but it seems to be gelling better
Nice pads / strings and kik seems to sit well on my heads

Should I lower the volume or use a transient design on the kick, i'm lost.
I added some BT like FM Buzz Sound with Lfo automation.
I listened to this previously and I like you mix and sounds, very open and cinematic but I think yes the kik is taking up too much room and I don't like it as its just quite a standard whoopee kik

Great track, love it! bit too much midrange to my opinion, but the track itself is great.

It sounds a bit fishbowly, to much verb on the whole project and I don't like the kick as well. can you make it a bit dryer, with a darker less invasive kick? the idea is great.

Sound is good . I like the kick and bass pad at the begining. Melody on pad comming at 20s is not my cup of tea. And that tada tada tada groove later. But thats just me probably.
The entire mix sounds like its in a cave.
Kick is barely alive in this for what sounds like a low pass.
Is your percussion track a sample by chance? If it is, I would look into getting some better quality ones.
The melody you are playing but using as a mid range tone is a little repetitive. Experiment with changing something within that pattern,yet keeping it aligned with the notes you are playing.
Can't stress this enough. EQ is your friend. I still am learning this valuable tool but found it hard at first because of how I mixed. I started off being told to just go into the song and lay the composition and arrangement down first,then go in and mix it. I found this very hard to do until I actually sat down and started making a song with the mix in mind,first. For me, it helped in hearing how I wanted the end result to be or...what was in my head.
EQ EQ EQ!
Below is a (LONG)great video from Steve Dudda which he breaks down alot of things but, he talks about EQ in a section in the most simple understanding way. I HIGHLY recommend watching this..Steve just makes..sense

Hey, thanks a lot for this! Yes, the percussion track is a sample but i've destroyed it additionaly with maximus filter. I was trying to eq this, but...
