Bass drum sounds much better, more thump, less boom. Good. Still think its too loud, but you want a loud bass drum. Personally I think it takes too much away from the track with a loud bass drum especially with the chill vibe.
Still think that pad needs to be a lot louder.
Cymbal crash now sitting much better.
Plucks still too quiet and sound thin. Maybe add a bit of chorus or unison to thicken them up a bit.
Bell piano sounds better, sitting better.
When the bass drum comes in all low passed in the break, it sounds too bassy. I can see what you were going for here, but I'd recommend highpassing the kick in that part instead of low passing it, then bring the kick in full when the track comes in.
After the first break, that kick just dominates. Its so much louder than everything else. Its like the track is so nice, quiet and tranquil, and the kick comes in to just punch me in the gut. Run it through a spectrum analyzer and see how much dynamic range there is between the break without the kick and the parts with a kick. I bet its on the order of 10db or greater, which is way too much.
The transitions sound much better. There is still that filtered transition in the beginning that makes the whole track quiet, but you changed them to something else in the rest of the track and they sound better.
Track still sounds too mid-scooped, but thats partially due to the loud bass drum, and the lack of air in the top end. Its better then it was, but it still needs work IMO.
