Great orchestration! The mix felt a little bit muddy though. Also, the first track legitimately made me feel a little bit emotional. Using that particular chord progression is not fair LOL

Thanks a lot for listening, and the feedback! It's great that the first track made you feel things, even if it's the chord progression itself doing some lifting hahahaha. I always wanna improve mix clarity, so if you wanna share what makes the mix feel muddy and what can be done to improve it in your opinion, I'd love to hear it, but you absolutely don't have to (of course!), I am very grateful for the feedback as it is!
Honestly I am not really an authority on mixing as I'm not too good at it myself, people who really know what they're doing can say "there's something you should cut around the x-y kHz range" but whenever I have problems I basically either go running to people who know better or trial and error it. I could give another listen soon when I'm in a better listening environment, but I guess a general piece of advice would be to make sure you don't have too many mids and low-mids (you might know that already)
That's fair enough! Yeah, mixing music can be tough, especially with increasing amount of elements all fighting for room in the mix. Mids can be very unforgiving, I spent most of the EQing trying to mitigate piercing highs, and some on subs and lows I would say. But there's usually a huge battle going on in the mids of a mix, unless adressed, so that makes a lot of sense!
Anyway, if you want to give it another listen I'd appreciate it a whole lot, I definitely will study my tracks a lil extra myself, with your feedback in mind. So thanks a lot again for sharing your thoughts and ideas!
