'Synthiz II' - New Original Music - Pt. 2 Adding Bass, Transitions, and Layering! Electronic/Instrumental + Walkthrough!

So I added quite a bit

of stuff here since yesterday, and I'm pretty stoked with the progress. I added a bass line initially, then I put in some little transitional sounds, which I think worked REALLY well. I also added some bells/beepy sort of sounds that come in and out, and help define the chords a bit more. However, after listening in my car on a full sound system, I don't like the drums that much, the snares are a bit too tinny, and the kicks disappear a bit too much, so I'm gonna be working on a more finalized mix for part 3. Let's go through the changes!

Listen to Synthiz II here.

I grouped all the instruments,

so the original 3 synths from yesterday are in the "Harmonies" group, except for the 3rd track, which I kept separate so as to control the volume separately. The drums and bass are next, with very little change to the drums, except for when everything cuts out, which I love. That rest works in tandem with the 'Beat Accent' group, which adds some cool little sounds on the final hit there. We also have 'Bells n Beeps', which consists of 3 tracks that float in and out, and add more spacey goodness to the track. Finally, we have 2 audio clips which are used as swells into various sections.
