Nice one!
The guitars sound a lot thicker now. I like it!
I'm not sure what you mean by the timing being off for the solos; it sounds pretty on time to me but maybe I'm just not hearing it?
I'm actually not a big fan of the new synth at 2:00. It sounds a bit too...bubbly for a lead. I dunno.
The chords are less boring now that you've added some rhythmic changes but I'd still like to see more variation in terms of the actual chords. It's up to you though.

Thanks a lot for the feedback again guys. Its been really useful. I was gonna post an update about 2 hours ago but after reading what you said, you confirmed what I thought. So....this is a complete and finished version that I'm gonna put as mod-review.

I was getting fed up of the chiptune parts not sounding quite right so I've replaced most of them with parts I wrote in a tracker. I think they're a lil more authentic sounding and suit the mix better. The chip/synth solo has been completely re-written. It was too....boring. Anyway, as always, feedback is appreciated.

...but I'd still like to see more variation in terms of the actual chords. It's up to you though.

I think I've remedied that some more with the new solo, but hey let me know what you think. I am happy with the arrangement now

Sounds a bit bright, like it doesn't have any beef in the mids. Idunno, compare it to some similar, well-produced tracks and copy their frequency balance. Chip solo is a bit loud. Just listen to the change in lead level when it goes from chip lead to lead guitar.

The track sounds a bit same-y throughout. Dunno how big a deal it is, but it bothers me. Could probably be remedied with more varied chords and riffs, as well as changes in the guitar sound and... stuff. Again, dunno how big a deal this would be on the panel, so I can't say whether you should do anything about it, but it'd be good to keep in mind for future mixes.

I'm hearing a bit of a squashed sound, too, making the track even more tiresome to listen to. Dunno how you've processed the track, but you could probably ease up on the compression a bit. If you need more headroom, solo the kick and bass and see what you can do about those two, they're the usual offenders.

Source usage seems ok. Feels a bit more like a genre-adapted cover than a remix, but dunno where exactly to draw the line between the two.

Feels like this is a really negative review. I don't mean it to be. It really comes down to whether the arrangement is ocr or not, and in this case I can't say either way. Fix what you feel like, sub it whenever, see what happens. :D

edit: ...remedied... I stole your vocabulary. :P

Thanks Rozo. Killer feedback as always

I get what you mean about the arrangement. I'd love this one to be an OCR mix but if it turns out that the panel don't think its suitable then so be it. I'll clean up the EQ, compression/limiting and balance then get this thing off to the panel. If I do get a sudden burst of inspiration to modify the arrangement then I'll do it.

Word thief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
