#Is this good? And mixing advice or anything I need to add?

Hey, sounds pretty good! The energy is there, but the mixing could definitely use some tweaks.
My first suggestion is to be a bit more careful about the mid ranges. Especially from seconds 1 through 5, the bass has a lot of mid/high ends, but it clashes with the kick, the impact, and then masks out the melody in an uneven way (because that frequency range is too muddy and starts clipping).
To fix this, I would suggest toning down the bass a bit, maybe taking some of it's mid and high ranges out and leaving mainly the low ends (it's also a bit too loud compared to the kick/melody). If there are any other sounds that occupy the mid ranges that shouldn't, I would just EQ them out to just take care of the muddiness, and mess around with shifting things up an octave if possible.
As for the section starting at 10 seconds, I think the main thing to change here is the level of the kick. A big mistake people make early on is turning the kick's volume up way too much, and while it's not too bad here, it could definitely be toned down a bit, especially considering the more quieter kicks in the previous sections (which might have resulted from frequency clipping). By doing this, the melody will stand out a lot more, which is important because it's a really nice, ethereal, and spacey melody that relies on being clearcut in the mix. I would also suggest turning down the vocal chords that play at this part down a little, maybe give them some more reverb and stereo width, and make them compliment the melody rather than intrude on it.
Overall it's pretty good, just needs some work on the mixing front (EQ and volume balancing). Let me know if anything I said was unclear!
Thanks so much, however the kicks are old audios I made and are mp3s. Can I still tweak it?
Actually I think I can
Using automations n shit
You can def still change the tracks volume and EQ right?
