I like the cutesy organ synths at the beginning and the build-up into :13. The mix is a bit too reverb-heavy for my tastes - I think the sound would be crisper without so many mixing effects. That said, the sound design is really neat, perhaps with the exception of the drums, which I found to be a bit generic. The distorted synth at :27 is great, as are the melodies at :40. At times (especially towards the end), the drums struggle to pop in the mix - you might try a multi-band compressor to really highlight the frequency ranges in the drums that they share with the other instruments. The piece started getting a tad repetitive in the last minute or so - even a slight variation of the main riffs or a key change would’ve helped give the piece some more variety. That said, I like the white noise at the end, and overall I’m impressed with the upbeat mood, sound design, and progression of this one. Thoroughly fun and catchy piece. Keep it up, AmishPimp! ^_^
