I'm having trouble with the background pad. I want it to have a nice midrange lull, but however I sculpt the sound or EQ, it ends up too quiet or clipping (and that's with the limiter on).

Well, it has quite a bit of midrange near 300 Hz. Try lowering the resonance on the pad a bit, and then raising the cutoff until you hear enough midrange.

Thanks. It was actually FM LFO that was the problem.
