This is a bit of continued practice in song writing. Tried to mix several instruments together. I learned a bit about leveling and compression. 1 db can make a big difference in being able to hear an instrument or losing it to the shadow realm.

Chipmix! -- I generally find turning stuff down in the mix (if you think it's too loud) is safer than turning stuff up.
Otherwise you may be over-saturating the mix, IMHO.
I don't know if 1db is that huge, it usually takes a couple. Nice song though.

I find this generally to be true; even if the end result is pretty quiet, that's what mastering is for.
This would be a shoe in soundtrack for an on-rail platforming sequence ala Megaman 8's hover skate sequences 
That's what came to mind when listening. I like the icy textures juxtaposed with the strong square lead!

Thank you for the feedback. I tried that on this week's track and found it easier to hear the instrument that needed to be heard.

Now that I'm not pushing everything to have a similar volume and I'm allowing things to fall back in the mix, I noticed it much easier to hear the lead in this track. I applied that to the coming week five track and noticed a big difference in clarity. Thanks!
