hello mindsetpony! nice to meet you and welcome to the forum! Don't forget to say hi in the introduction thread as most people discover it on week 2 or so rather than on day 1.

Overall I really liked your track. The one main synth can be seen as a little shrill but overall I really didn't mind it much and that chiptune synth really worked well within the track. That Pinkie Pie sample could be a little louder. But those are really just nitpicky comments tbh. Great job and hope to hear more. :D

Nice! That one lead synth, as DJ Pon-3 mentioned, is somewhat ... hyper. Just like Pinkie! So I guess it's quite fitting.
Great job, keep it up!

Okay, quick notes:

Yep, I agree, that one main synth (the one that goes whoop whoop whoop) could be a little lower in the mix, so it doesn't stick out as much, and I'd prefer the Pinkie sample to be slightly distorted so it doesn't sound as raw. Aside from that, this is a great first production! I'm a sucker for those kinds of synths at the end. Great job!

I love how you subverted the genre by making it melodic and varied as well. Superb.
