The pad playing in the introduction should be wider in my opinion. By doing this I would place a tube to give it more of a grimy sound, a stereo detune to give it more texture and harmonized, and then an exciter to boost some of the frequencies and to make it more brighter. Now for your bassline, there isn't really enough mid highs, and a lot of the lows playing. I think you could probably just give it distortion so it brings those frequencies into the sound more.

I don't really have anything else to say except to use reference tracks if you are ever stuck.

The hi-hats could use some panning and eq'ing the lows out just in case.

The kickdrum needs more punch, so I would try to boost the lowend more

Make sure to also put an exciter on the bassline too to bring out those frequencies. Now for the whistlely lead, I actually like that a lot. But I think there should be another layer for it.

This is nice. The first snare seems a little quiet so you might want to boost that gain nob a bit Overall great track!!

Cool track. it feels too sudden, the sound of ur pluck change too drastically, I don’t know if it’s the lfo or decay… Other than that A cool typical synthwave rolling bass 1/16 could bring more intensity to it in my opinion. Pic is dope. Anyway, good job

thank you for the feedback, that pluck switch is because of the LFO, i was actually having a lot of trouble figuring it out because the chord pluck that comes in first i believe was a little bit off beat, hence why when the second pluck comes in it feels really sudden, the reason i didnt change it is because i honestly couldnt figure it out haha

No that's okay, I'd much rather you polish it since it has your creative spark.
