Gotta say, your mix/arrangement is so bright and full. Big transparent sub bass and bass. Lovely leads that fill in the 5Khz+ regions nicely. The stereo imaging is perfect. The sounds you chose are super warm and analog sounding. Did you use a freaking Minimoog??? This sounds much louder and clearer than other entries without becoming obnoxious or imbalanced. I can imagine Keith Emerson playing this song in two takes, with the second one being an overdub. The overall feeling is playful and regal, a bit like a court jester.

The Roland FA-08 is pretty much a full concert-level professional synth cost me about $1,600 at the time in 2019, It's got built in sequencing and the full range of dial tweaking. Enough menus in there that it would take like ten years to exhaust it, or longer. I have been learning some of the undocumented things about it (which dwarf the thin little printed manual that came with it, Grok had to clue me into the fact that i could save about half the dial settings to the -song- slot and not have to save a different studio-set of 16 instruments, and even that took me until 2 months ago to find out that was true...that's just -one- story) after I export off the FA-08 Mixcraft 10.6 Pro Studio has another whole layer of control once the WAV and the midi are on the laptop.
As to getting lucky and being not murky : I make wrong headed moves like 60% the time lol, I juggle the day-job so what polish happens is either on accident or I got more time than I normally do.
Glad you had a fun time with it!
Gave you an itch follow, if you like the thing(s) on my page(s) consider doing the same.
Cheers!
