Very cool stuff, I love what sounds like South American influences to my ears.

Hey Ron! It's a good track, and has some good sonics to it. So, for my ears, it's all good on the mixing & sound quality end.

A couple of things you could tweak though...

Dramedy is mostly slightly comedic. The best way to get that "comic" sound is to utilize chromatic (1/2 steps) movements. Go to the lead instrument, right off the bat, and count to the 6th note that is played and move it up a 1/2 step. Right now, I believe it's an F. Move it up to F# and see how much that changes the feel to much more comedic & mischievous. You can go through and find all instances like that, where a 1/2 step adjustment will completely change the feel of the track and bring it much more into the comedic realm, where it needs to be.

Also, you might consider some light hand-drum percussion in this one. Try some bongos - if you don't have a good loop library of bongo patterns, you can get a lap-bongo like I've got for about $30 at Guitar Center. Bongos are always a nice sneaky addition to dramedy tracks!
