Hello everyone! This is my second song that I'm working on and I hope everyone enjoys this sample! Thanks for listening

That kick drum is extremely quiet and sounds like it's being drowned out by the bass. You could compress the bass a little bit to give the lower frequencies in the kick drum more room to breathe, or spend some time with EQ on both the bass and kick. The snare sounds rather quiet as well.

And wow, you really did a heck of a job with those synths, panning them back and forth like that, but I'd make the panning a bit slower for those synths.

I like the ambient pads you have in this song.

Great job releasing the song and taking a break at 0:28. That's very good dynamics.

This song has too much repetition, in my opinion. 1:10 all the way to the end of the song sounds all sounds the same, like it's just on a loop; furthermore, it sounds the exact same as the beginning of the song. It might help to introduce some new things to the song as it progresses to keep things interesting and not so boring. Good luck with this wip!

Thank you for the advice! It means a lot to me that people care enough to help

I have been working on this song nonstop and it now is somewhere near 4 minutes long. I took your advice and tried to keep it very trance-like while trying to not make it sound repetitive, the kick is a bit louder and I made a lot of progress with the panning. I believe I am almost done and would really appreciate more help when I put the next version up. Thank you!
