Edit: Uploading a new version now. Worked a bit more on the main drop. Added piano, I had piano in one of the earliest version, but just kept it at the start of the breakdown and towards the end instead of the melody so things don't become too repetitive. I am having a lot of trouble with the bass. I cut frequencies and still sounds muddy, might try less sidechaining since it's side chained heavily.
I worked on the bass a little bit more, seems tens times better than the mud I had.
Had a few listens today at work, pads sounded awful so I lowered their volume, added a specific pad I use in a lot of my songs and I knew it will drown the other pads in a good way. I have two atmospheric layers from a sample underneath and I made them more audible. Added the piano to a few more sections made some slight automations. Lowered the melody an octave.
Overall it feels close to complete.
