Hey thx for the feedback. I don't often get anything constructive from most people, so I'm glad that you showcased clear criticisms in my work that I plan to improve upon. ❤️

The main issue I've noticed is the imbalance between the percussion and the rest of the parts. The kick is much louder then the rest of the parts. While the original source does go ham with that decending arp through the whole track, it would be nice to get a break from it or a change of pattern. Something just to give some contrast to the texture of the piece. You do a good job of changing the other parts up at good times to keep the interest going especially with it being a longer piece. When we get to 3:50 in particular it's lovely because the textural change feels so impactful. It does feel very much like First Steps still because the sound design choices feel very similar to the original too. Aside from the kick being too loud, there really isn't much else "wrong" with it. If you plan on submitting to OCR I would strongly considering adding some more of your own variation and vibe to the track. Also, some more humanization, especially with note velocities. I enjoyed the track's mellowness. It is pretty.
