Mixing help needed for trailer music!

Hi everyone, I really enjoy creating orchestral trailer tracks but I find them hard to mix and sound huge without just being messy. I don’t want to waste my time by uploading if I already think it might get rejected. So here is a trailer that I just created. If anyone has any advice or suggestions for improvement i’d really appreciate it. I haven’t compressed it at all apart from a limiter on the master channel as I don’t normally use any for orchestral music. In this case I think that at the least the percussion could probably do with it. I have altiverb sends going to most instruments but I keep the send amount pretty low down.

I wish I had access to a real orchestra! :smiley:

I really like this track , I think the only thing you need to add in some places it’s reverb on the strings staccato , because it sounds very dry )
