Here's a nice light eurobeat that I just finished last night. It features two easter eggs.

Critique is wanted.

This is really nice. It's simple, but I think part of the beauty comes from that. For the most of the parts with synths though it feels muted somehow, like you ran the entire thing through a low pass or something. Play with some eq to see if you can bring out some high end sparkle in the mix, its just really lacking the punch and shine that is normally characteristic of eurobeat.

To be honest, I didn't run this song though anything. It's probably the software. I characterized this song as "light" eurobeat. So it doesn't pack as much of a punch as regular eurobeat.

I wasn't saying that you did, just it sounds like it because none of your synths have any high end. It makes the song sound muted, and could be improved by adding some high end sparkle to the high hats, along with some corrective EQ on the synths.

mmmm dis be soundin' mighty fine. the chords and notes and instruments used are very good too. especially towards the ending. i like the second half the best. i think the only improvement that could be done is similar to what Conduit said.

This is most definitely easier said than done but try to make your lead and such stand out more rather than get drowned out by background sounds. and try to balance out the sounds so that they fit together better. basically, mastering. although im no expert as to how exactly to do that, i do know that it takes a lot of patience, practice, and listing to things over and over again.
