any comment is welcome!
Every mix I've heard of this so far, including my own, has had me picturing computers in one way or another. On this one, with the wide open airy reverb you used on the "beep" synth track, I had a picture of a huge server room, with banks upon banks of computers covered in blinking lights connected together with a spaghetti factory of colorful cables, the camera weaving in and out among this mass of technology...
For the most part, I really love the sound you have going here, not dissimilar from my own approach. Only two quibbles:
1. I felt your kick drum was a little on the thin side; did you roll off its low frequencies with EQ or a hipass? If so I wouldn't; it has a wonderful "thump" just the way it is.
2. The drums didn't sound like they had any reverb at all. When combined with the pronounced reverb you applied on many of the other tracks the dry drums sound "disconnected" from the rest of the mix. Maybe you might try applying a subtle reverb to the drums as well? Something that implies a live environment.
Other than that, loved it!
