This is a remix of the opening stage music from Mega Man X on the SNES.
I was planning to to a guitar-based remix of this song for a while, and just when I decided to finally start work on it, I broke my wrist. So instead, I turned to my synths. I ended up liking how it came out, and even after I was out of the cast, I kept it as a synth-based song. Hope you guys like it, this is my first submission here on OCRemix, and also my first public attempt at a synth-based song.

One of my absolute favorite VGM tunes, it always had great energy.

There's some personalization here in the arrangement approach for sure, including some cool synth soloing, but the overall structure and feel was too similar to the original.
The drums were OK, but the overall energy level of the track was decidedly lower than what the writing implied. None of the sounds really had any power to them, and the textures were on the empty side.
Nonetheless, this was a very solid effort for your first synth-based track. Believe me, it's way better than most first attempts of this nature.
I'd use the ReMixing and Works forums at OCR if you aren't doing so already to learn more about your tools and get more fan feedback on what could be improved.
