Diamond sound

This one was cooked in the weekend after a week "without direction". I mean, I wouldn't know which path to follow so this ended up being build with a strange arrangement of layers: One from my previous Linux Qtractor sequencing experiments, twisting some TR606 samples inside an Akai s3000xl sampler. The others came from long forgotten unfinished Ableton projects circa 2011 and 2012. Bass is simple yet effective Steinberg's VB1 virtual bass plugin. Pads are a youtube Yamaha TG33 demo video sampled into the Akai and then mangled with Calf Linux plugins. The "funky" acidic squeak and the chippy lead are instances of Ableton's Analog. Subtle pitchshifted strings curtesy of the Waldorf Streichfett pad synth. "More Cowbell" samples are of course courtesy of Christopher Walken in the now modern classic skit from Saturday Night Live. No copyright infrightment intended, you know. I think they sound fit because I REALLY was struggling with the mix levels in this one. What do you think? Finally, the slightly spooky vocals in the background... they're basically several "instances of me" fooling around with Ableton's looper and a microphone. I don't like my voice, but I think they don't completely suck drenched in effects. I almost suffocate doing the "lalala" part... singing is hard, y'all ! My inspiration for this one was the funky playful sound of Ipaghost: he makes distictive parts and clever melodic changes, sample mangling .. and yet I still don't know how to change from one scale to the next, stay in the same tune the whole song and rely too much on "drum trickery". Anyway, for this week, I did my best to be a little bit funkier. It was hard for me to mix this one, and so many layers made it a little bit muddy, so I avoided any compression and just used some limiting. If you find any useful suggestions, please let me know. I'd love to improve.
