Negatives:
- It's peaking a bit much - you could maybe get away with it more if it were peaking on quick and snappy hits, but it's on pretty consistently held synths.
- I think in the drops, for the pace, the drumbeat feels a little off just being a kick snare kick snare. A little more syncopation in the drumbeat might help.
- Bass Design here is very standard. In fairness, it does give a bit of a classic vibe - I just like to mix classic stuff with a bit of spicy stuff as well personally.
Positives:
- In fairness, the drums and their sidechaining do sound pretty good, ignoring the rhythm of the drumbeat itself
- The sense of scale is definitely there.
- The melodic elements work pretty well.
- All the impacts "hit right"
