I like this mix, I am well invaded by the sound. There are many details to listen to. The wispy pad is also well managed.

It's a detail, but what I like least are the drums. Are they samples? Native to LMMS? I can't identify what attracts my attention to the drums ...

All in all, it is very homogeneous, well glued.

Ahh, this sounds cool.
And I like the subtle pad melody, in the background too.

Note: The pads that play from 1:59 to 2:05 secs, do not seem to play in time with the music.
But afterwards, it does play in time.

However a bit later on, another problem occurs.
it seems the third note of the pad melody, is on a few occasions cut shorter
or cut too soon, in some places. Causing the 4th note, to play sooner than it should.
This is an easy problem to solve.
Open the piano roll, and slightly lengthen the notes, of the third key note
and any other note(s), that do not play in time with the music.
Or, if some notes play too soon, move them forward a bit.

Tip: Feel free to add a reverb effect of your choice, on the drum sound, to make it sound fuller.

All in all, nice music Dewke.

That's great feedback thanks .

Will have a look at the pad sounds. Your right that they don't seem quite right.

The drums are lmms. Bass drum 1 in the drums and also the snare. I used a small bit of saturation on the master. This did crisp up the synths but that might of had an affect on the kick and lost its bass and boom.
