Thanks!
Yes, the mix isn't totally there yet.. I just spent two evenings writing this piece, only started after I saw the message that there was a two day extension for the submissions lol...
The arrangement could definitely use some tweaking as well, Basses are there but not giving enough oomph, I agree. Plus I'd probably make the track longer and have more time for each idea to play out more fully. But for the time I did spend, I am happy with the result :)
Re VST - This track was created with Eastwest vsts. I have the Composer cloud plus subscription which gives access to their whole ~3tb catalog... I've been playing around with their free Cubase template they released not long ago, I even made a video review about it, check it out on my YT channel -
