my third time with this mix. my last two votes have critiqued instrument quality, confusing choices for what instruments were playing, and some disjunct approaches.

opens with some quiet pads and chimes. strings have long triggers on each, so it's a swell every time they change. flute brings in the melody, and an edm bass and drums start soon after that. flute is pretty far back in the mix so it's hard to hear, and feels like it has a bit of a slow trigger on it also. lots of nice articulation on the flute.

there's one of those transitional risers you love at 1:04 and then the flute takes the melody line. this gets handed off to a synth lead unexpectedly. there's some more of the synth lead back and forth going forward. the drum fill at 1:39 is pretty off-beat. this trucks through the melodic material for a while. there's another bad fill at 2:01, a weird gong hit for a transitional element, and then a bit of an outro that resolves into a different chord than the rest of the song - that's confusing!

i think what you've got here is a better framework than you've had for past versions of this. my issue now is that it's overall quite static - you've got the beat running under the flute/synth, short break sections, then back to the same sound. adding elements to help each main section sound different will help a lot - maybe a synth pad, a countermelody, some altered chords, etc. the drum fills sound bad in several sections and the ending's a little weird, but making the overall track have a direction will help a lot. the entire track needs to be louder as well, it's very quiet right now.

NO
