Howdy NoTuX! I'm dropping a quick co-sign in line with the other Js. The biggest issue holding this track back is the current mix/master: like XPRTnovice called out, the flute at 1:15 and the piano at 2:00 are too hot, and the crispiness of the cymbals on the high end could be the result of pushing the limiter too far on the mixbus. I want to emphasize that your arrangement is solid; the transitions you added help maintain an interesting flow through the track. While the ending could be stronger, I think this would clear the bar with another mixing pass. NO (resubmit)

Over the last few days and weeks, I have made a major update to my main post for this thread. Since some interesting new studio monitors have come onto the market or some studio monitor speaker series have been given the latest generation of studio monitor models, while the production of some older models has been discontinued and these are often no longer available at all, I have finally made this way overdue update. The update in my initial thread post contains the following main points: 1) newly released as well as time-tested studio monitor speakers made for accurate mixing in home studio conditions as well as for professional endeavors in audio engineering 2) new models within a studio monitor series (whereby I generally only took the new models as a basis for a more detailed description if they were actually better than the older models - if the old models were obviously better than the newer versions, on the other hand, I took the older models as a basis for a more detailed description and rather mentioned the newer models only in passing) 3) have slightly expanded the information in the descriptions of the studio monitor models, categorized it accordingly and standardized it (so that the frequency range, sound impression and build quality are rather high up in the description of the respective studio monitor speakers and somewhat less important aspects such as design, power consumption, price and further information can be found at the bottom of the description) 4) updated links with the currently available studio monitor models as well as additional helpful information on older studio monitor models (which are sometimes even still available on the market) 5) a slightly adjusted personal rating for the larger and the smaller studio monitor speakers, which is primarily based on my personal sound impressions of the speakers in the music store as well as through comparative sound test videos, personal mixing experiences with some of these speakers, certain product characteristics such as build quality, frequency range, linearity of the frequency response or at least a frequency response that is advantageous for mixing, intensity of inherent noise, various buyer and user feedbacks, power consumption, price-benefit ratio as well as current availability on the market (whereby the sound characteristics and mixing suitability are the most important factors for my rating - although this should only be a rough assessment and I am not yet completely sure about some of the sometimes pretty close positions my personal ranking) 6) a link to a YouTube channel where you can roughly compare the sound of a large number of studio monitor models even far away from specialist music shops (whereby the sound impression of the studio monitor speakers in the specialist music shop and even more so in the corresponding rooms at home should be the final factor, without prioritising the first sound impression over the much more crucial mixing suitability - because what ultimately counts for composers and sound engineers is not the pleasant sound of these speakers, but the impressing sound of the final mix that you have created with the speakers and which can be reproduced very well on all other playback systems) 7) a brief summery of my personal speaker search over many years (from the simplest desktop speakers to professional studio monitors with corresponding background information to better understand why I have taken certain steps in my home studio planning and why I do not always find larger studio monitors necessarily better and more suitable in terms of mixing suitability than slightly smaller models) Maybe this can help some people in their search for suitable studio monitor speakers for their room conditions. ... In addition, I wish you a happy Easter. Don't forget to bring rich offerings of natural, organic stuff (food) for the fluffy hares and bunnies to the radically sacred Long 'n' Floppy Ears Shrine to appease the gentle and wise rabbit gods.

Hello!!! Although I'm quite unfamiliar with this place, it is nice to meet people who enjoy remixing VGMs and OSTs! Although I usually make original tracks, I also make remixes. I met this place a few days ago, and I forgot introduce myself. I hope all is well!

Definitely loved listening to Klonoa! So many twists and turns in the soundtrack and so much variety!

thank you!!! first post rn but cool beans :D
