How to fix this mix

My problem area is Synths and I don’t know if this mix is Right or wrong ? What am I doing wrong here . I want the bassSynth to standout with the synth but when I drop the Volume of the Synth the Mix sounds odd and if I turn up the synth my basssynth is Gone , well not Gone but I want both sounds in the from together as one … I also want the kick to Stand with the Sounds !! I can’t move on to pads and other sounds until I figure out what I need to do here .

I want to add Synths to Trip life but synths and I dont get along right now

Could it be the Two sounds are conflicting with eachother as they are both dominating sounds ?

Sorry but BUMP!! No Help yet ? Anyone …

or do a swap ala chem bros. they love just completely changing everything in a instant… sounds cool when listening but if you try it your self just sounds mad… needs big balls!

Ok so Synths will take over your ears and will make the other Sounds will feel distant even though the mix is normal ? I like how the piano Stands out in trip life but when I add a Synth to it the piano becomes less attractive . Will mastering bring out the mix as long as your mix has air to breath in each sound ?
 

Mixing stage will as you say clear it up and make it sound all level and right etc but as you hear it now is 99% time how you will hear it in mastering, some guy from uni told and its just his view mastering is like the polish to the final thing, gives it a little sparkle but you shouldnt want or rely on anything to drastically change during this stage, you prob already know you need to  be happy 100% with whats in that mix and how it sounds before mastering.

One thing that sometimes brings out a sound which is only thing i can think of cause you seem to have tried must things is the panning of the sounds or a stereo spread, put one on stereo and the other with a mono, it sounds drastic but depending on the sounds, it can sometimes work especially if you want to really sell a certain sound over another in the mix.

Sorry i couldnt help much mate, good luck.

Step 1

Watch the volume levels. The overall mix of a  production can be destroyed by synth tracks that take up too much space in the frequency spectrum. For this reason, synth tracks usually go straight to the back of a mix. Techniques that mainstream producers use to get this effect are panning, EQ, and limiting. When you limit the sound, pan it slightly left or right, then EQ frequencies out of the sound that conflict with other frequencies, you get that laid back effect on your synth. If you are looking for something upfront use a saw wave, then drop out some of the bass.
