It sounds like a great start. Like many of the other comments, I'd love to hear those drums get replaced with a fuller sound. I switched to the new mix half way through and the mix definitely improved :-) I love the overall vibe of the track. Very cool. Also maybe switch up the lead instrument from that synth sound at some point, introduce a totally different lead sound for a while and then go back to it. Something like that.

I agree with many of the comments, but especially-
 
>The mix is a bit narrow. You have strings at the edges, but everything else sounds pretty centered.
>As Polarbear says, switching the lead instrument a couple times would help make this tune more interesting.
>More dynamic contrast. Right now it is very flat.

Good blend of sounds here. As some has said, the drums sounds muffled. I think the melodies are nice. It gets a little too crazy at 0:50, I would change the background harmony to something that fits the melody better.

Definitely at great start. It does get to be a bit monotonous with programmed drums and bass.  Seems to need something to break it up a bit or mix it up. A change of instrumentation could help. Work on some of the dynamics  in your phrasing would really go a long way.  The melodies are nice but they tend to meander without a clear direction without (a song) structure.  Pad tones are really cool, BTW.

Nice. Your mixing skills will get better the more you mix.

Thank you all for the nice comments and good tips! I found out that putting on good sounding dynamics was more difficult than i thought it would be. And more work than I thought. Also improving the mix feels very difficult. I also made a new tune which I am going to concentrate on, as I feel this tune is not worth the work it feels I would have to invest on at the moment. I try to use your tips on my new tune but although I have done this music writing relatively long I still have trouble doing the simplest things (I mean the things you probably already find simple, like the dynamics thing). I am however grateful although I am leaving this tune half ready for now. Sorry if I let you down (not the first time I am afraid). If I have the time however I will also try to improve this tune, even though I have not too much to use.
