Happy holidays Phil. I'm going to take a few listens on your clip. First impression is top notch. Great musically, great sound design, great stereo image, good transitions.
If less is more think about how much more more would be.

yea I have no critique because that sounds really pro, maybe relatively the levels can be tweaked minutely to taste.
@st no point of finishing anything, I cant get a good sound.

Sorry to hear that Msz!
There really wasn't much to say on your clip as far as I'm concerned. I've always been a sucker for the atmospheric type of stuff. What could help is perhaps low shelving shelving some of the pads to reduce the low end. This should create some space for the low end to come through better.
Perhaps I'd have gone for some different drum sounds but nothing too special.
Thinking of it, what could help is something like Tokyo Dawn Records Nova, a free fabfilter like vst with eq-based compression. This could allow your mix to dynamically have more space for other elements.
If less is more think about how much more more would be.

I haven't checked the videos yet but I'm going to assume sound selection is a part of it. Check your DM .

There's a bunch of projects I have lying around with potential, just not the time or inspiration to finish. I've been working on these 2 a bit the past few days. Hoping to experiment with a full on vocal myself with lots of autotune and a voice changer to see what that could turn out like. But first recordings of myself I dropped, autotune couldn't save it
As you might see in the soundcloud widget there are some notes to self in there too.
Note: There's 2 mixes. The original and a house version (the latter in the playlist).
Looking forward to hear what suggestions you might have!
Rose Petal Rain - House mix is my favorite so far, has nice Housey flavor to it with well controlled dynamics.
Cheers,
Darek

Great start Darek. Happy new year to you too! Maybe the rhodes are distorting a bit much (saturation plugin perhaps?). In the end when the vocals come in, maybe try and duck some of the mids on the instruments. Vocals and instruments seem to be clashing in the same frequency range. Good work
