-The HiHat is too long and (much) too loud, it should be snappier. You can achieve this by shortening the decay time.
- The Piano needs a bit more warmth (lower freqs) and it doesn't sound well integrated in the mix. Maybe also add a bit more reverb here.
- Vocals louder (maybe with a compressor) and a bit reverb here too
- This saw synths plays the same pattern through the whole song. This becomes a bit boring. Try to make more variations. Not all instruments have
to play at the same time.
- If the kick has reverb try without
- I don't like the chip tune sounds, but that's a matter of taste.
Have you done all your tracks in Linux?
Thank you and yes, all tracks made with LMMS on openSUSE.
From the nightmare of not having vestige, and talking to the suse package builders, that LMMS needs to be compiled with wine support.

( because of the lmms forum I learned, that almost all packages builders for all distro's messed this up )
Through compiling LMMS myself, and sometimes getting errors of which even the LMMS devs had no clue on what went wrong.
To these days, were for LMMS on Linux we can download an appimage file.
I will have a look at that hi hat. Lets see if I can tweak the envelope.
Not sure I like those sounds you call chip tunes myself that much.
I always seem to struggle in LMMS to make it not sound chip tune.
The Kick is the Kicker from LMMS, it should be easy to make it more a bom then a booom sound.
Or I might go for the 808 kick which is probably used in 99% ? of all house tracks.
Some hystory.
House music started with (funky) disco tracks, mixed in clubs, with a drumcomputer added.
This happened after the dead of disco.
Funny that these days we have daft punk and nu disco.
Seems they failed to kill disco.
Listening to this classic, that hi hat is shorter then mine, although it might be even louder then mine.
Its that typical (white noise?) house hat though.
