Nice! Glad to help.
Here's a last idea for the 808: @ 2:15 when the beat drops out again, you could accent the drop with a single deep 808 boom on the downbeat, to really bring it all down. I guess it depends on what sounds you've got to pick from, but you can always tune it lower/higher to fit nicely in the song.
I'd either throw a beat delay or some thicker reverb on the claps too (you could also duplicate the clap track, pan them to different sides and throw a 1/8 delay on one, or both...add a little feedback, get that big pop sound to them. They still sound a little dry, for my taste. The tone is solid, though!)
The song's got a real nice ebb and flow to it, now, good stuff!
Well I added the 808. I don't really have a lot of good samples so I couldn't get one as long as I wanted without time stretching it so hard it broke. As for the claps, I couldn't get the delay to work with me so I went nuts with the stereo width. If that doesn't get it to stand out in the mix I have no idea what will.

Well I think this is ready for Mod-Review finally.

*A bunch of super helpful tips n stuff*
Wow. Thanks for all the tips dude. You caught me at a pretty good time with the comment. I was working on more mixdown stuff for the track.
So I worked mostly on bringing out the cymbals and claps (just kept layering samples till it felt right honestly. And a sliiiight boost to the 1k range) and a bunch of eq-ing a sidechaining. I didn't end up going with the 808 on the kick. I've already got a sub bass in the track and it just felt to cluttered adding in more sub range.
I've got a newer version up on soundcloud if you wanna give it a listen and lemme know if anything else should be changed.

And thanks again for the feedback dude.

I really don't know how to make music so everything with heaping amounts of salt, but trust me if you stay on the ball in the workshop, you'll get some better feedback in no time flat! Stay on it man!
Hey man you still make music so that counts.
But yeah the drums haven't exactly been mixed in yet. I have some sidechains for the kick drum (so the low end isn't a total mess) but I haven't set up and dialed in all the sidechains for the claps. I usually save that tedium for the end when I'm doing final mixdown and mastering.
Thanks for the feedback dude.

Oh man do I love me some glitch infused ambiance. Whooo. I love the beat repeat effect on the piano. Used just enough to give the song some life.
My only issues with the song are the glockenspiel kind of high end instruments are really tinny and sharp and the phaser on the pad in the background is a little too upfront for my taste. Other than that dude it's a great mix. I love it.

Been working on this remix for the last few weeks in between contract jobs. It's still pretty choppy (I can't get the first crash transition to settle down for the life of me) and unmastered, but it's got all the elements I'm looking to add.

Added some more intro effects, brought the sub out a bit more, added more width to the claps.

Really solid idea, but it could really use some mixing. The vocaloid patch gets lost in the mix and the big moments get pretty muddy. You'll probably want to roll off the high ends of the strings. And put in some sidechaining for the drums, they kinda lose their impact in there. Also you really don't want to be cutting the master fader down during production, it'll give you a false impression of how it's mixed. I usually try cutting instrument faders so the master comes out to -10db without having to mess with it. Leaves plenty of headroom and lets you know more clearly how everything is mixed.
Still a fantastic idea, I can't wait to see what you make of it.
