How to make pads/strings sound more euphoric uplifting.

Post by djXPOSUR »

Hello,
I'm working on a track and I'm stuck with my pads. They are sounding too dark, any tips on how to make them sound more uplifting/euphoric? Higher octaves? More filter cutoff?.
I've almost exhausted my entire sylenth, nexus, and virus patches.
Currently have them layered on 3 octaves
I've tried making my own pads but doesn't sound right. I already have the melody and bass line and chords done in then track so I'm not sure about changing the pad notes around.
