From my experience with their plugins, they're pretty run-of-the-mill. I sometimes still fool around with them, but the effects that most of their plugins achieve can most likely be done with the stock plugins from your DAW and end up using less CPU. I will say that the UI is pretty good for most of their plugins, but when it comes to the power of them, they're just a drop in the bucket (imo)

Shoutout to all the other bedroom producers

I like to do a lot of layering to make a "complete" pad, so what I usually start doing is making a patch that I will sort of base the overall vibe and tone of the pad on. Incidentally, it usually falls within my """style""". Anyway, I open up a synth (usually Sylenth for the base patch) and make two oscillators saw waves and two oscillators tri saw waves; turn off retrigger on one of the oscillators with a saw and one with a tri saw. I detune all of them a fair bit and then lowpass to taste, which is usually about 37Hz - 136Hz. Then, I put a chorus and a flanger on the patch and put the volume of both to about 25%, stereo widen a little, add reverb and usually adjust the volume of the reverb between 10% - 35% (depending on the track). Sometimes I will also use the built-in chorus in Sylenth and put the wetness at 10%, give it a lot of depth and width, and put the chorus rate at .01Hz for a little bit of an added effect. Once I am done with tweaking those things around, I EQ out everything but the mids.

After that, I start working on the pad that will be the "airy" highs. I usually use a triangle wave, bandpass it, EQ out the mids and lows, stereo widen, and add lots of reverb. Nothing super special; the only thing I really do much with this pad is modulate the wetness of the reverb, pan a little, maybe add a phaser and then slowly modulate the wetness of the phaser while keeping the volume around 10% - 15%.

Lastly, I make the bass. The bass is usually really simple and I don't really try to do anything fancy because I like the bass to stay in the center and hold everything together, so it's usually a detuned saw with a lowpass filter that has really high resonance (I don't know how many Hz the cutoff on the lowpass is because 3xosc doesn't show it when I adjust, but it's pretty low), EQ out highs and mids and then it's done.

I don't make all my pads this way, but this is usually how it starts out before I completely switch patches or effects out to make the sound I want for a track.

Mixing is just generally muddy on these, honestly. I really like the ideas presented, but it seems like your sound hasn't fully developed yet and you just need more time. I would suggest EQ'ing out the lows or mids of some of the reverb-ey plucks and playing around with the stereo field to get a wider sound. This stuff has a lot of untapped potential, and with some hard work, I am sure you can make some really solid stuff

Digging it, only complaint is the sub bass (imo) is a bit weak in the drop and the vocals seem a bit muddy. Really solid track though
