I wouldn't say there is "no dynamic range" there's a little, especially with stuff the arp and the string pad in the main section, but yes its pretty flat. I don't really go for much expressiveness when I use chiptune synths, I like quite a harsh sounds but I can see what you mean, the EQing and relative mixing is fairly limited on this track and I think I'll have another go at the mix at a later date, maybe even submit it afterwards... As for the the low end on the snare thats just a habit I've picked up from starting out on DnB I guess haha, I still feel like I'm treading new waters with Hip Hop, one of the main things I struggle with is where to put the bass, there needs to be something around 200-300hz but it feels like it does better with a big subby presence below 150hz. Thanks for the advice and the kind words

Ah sweet Flexstyle, I look forward to hearing what you thhink of it. Rayman is one of the first games I can remmber playing myself rather than just watching my parents play, I played it on so many different versions but 'm pretty sure I never beat it because the damn thing is so hard. Still, the sound effects and music in the game still stick with me (hence why they are sampled in the track.)

Thanks a lot for your input, thats covered pretty much all the issues I was going to point out. I've automated a filter on that distorted/bassy synth so that its not as intrusive at certain points, in fact its hard to pick out in the mix now but its probably better like that. Still unsure about those transitions in to the main sections though, tried adding a reverse sample to the first one to create some tension.

Hey guys, long time lurker but I thought I'd come to you with this track thats almost done, a few of the synths I'm a little torn between and the mastering is a work in progress, but its ready for some critique EDIT: Alright after spending around a week on the mix/master I'm ready to move on, thanks for the help, hope you like it!

I liked this, the sounds were really nice and the mix between the two songs works well. I think a very light percussion section would have made a nice addition but I don't want to intrude on your idea.
