Your latest version is definitely a big improvement I really like most of the details you've added throughout the song
My mixing headphones are broken so I can't really comment on the production, but the arrangement is definitely better.
I still have a few issues with it though, so here goes:
- The first melody played by the clarinet sounds "forced" to me. I feel like you're breaking its flow in order to repeat the theme over and over. I think you should tweak that and put some originality in it, so that the melody feels more natural.
- The minor chords played by the slow-attack strings are cool and surprised me, but imo they clash with what the clarinet is doing. Maybe this could be fixed at the same time as the first problem I mentioned?
- Near the 2:50 mark I'm hearing a few dissonant notes. This is very nitpicky though, it doesn't sound loud.
- I think there's a lot going on in the highs/high-mids compared to other frequency ranges, especially at the end. I think you should try exploring the other frequencies a bit more, especially more low-mids. It could add some good meat to this. (Maybe it's just my crappy earbuds fooling with me though)
Take this with a grain of salt, as it's all very subjective
Nice ending, btw!
Oh and I think that what's causing the problem with your bells is that it sounds like the sample's got a pretty loud, high-pitched harmonic when it plays. Maybe there's a way to EQ that out?
