Hi there!
I'm kinda new here, even if I always check the forum in search of new techniques and stuff.
I've come across a problem and I decided to share it with you since there are a lot of experienced producers here.
Below I will put the private URL (on soundcloud) of a new track I'm still mixing.. I'm trying to keep the song at -4 / -5 dB to have it mastered in the near future.
The question is, what do you think about the leads in the drop section? I can't set up a good reverb! I tried with many plugins, using a SEND channel or using the same LEADS channel but none of it works.. I tried with lower notes and leads to have a bigger and fuller drop but I end up getting a muddy reverb with the low frequencies.. I've also tried cutting them out but I can't get a good result
Anyone willing to share some tips?
Don't judge me for my abilities, I'm here to ASK you since I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I hope you will help!
Thank you in advance

PS: Critiques on the track are appreciated

Link doesn't work. If it did, KVR would convert to Soundcloud player automatically.

Hi-pass reverb input?

Also, you might want to use sidechain on reverb channel driven with the dry sound.

Ok, I fixed the link since it was a private URL.
So I should put and EQ before the reverb plugin on my send channel?
I feel like I have already tried but that didn't work well.. I'm using Fruity Reveerb 2 on my LEADS SEND, just because the last time I tried on a separate reverb send it did not work well.. Maybe it's just because I'm doing something wrong!
Listen to this VINAI track, same genre: I can hear a big amount of reverb but it doesn't affect the whole mix. I'd like to have this kind of reverb and make it sound so big.
Again, If you have other technical tips for my track (anything) they're appreciated!
