  1. Cool source tune, actually. I can see there being 3 distinct sections in the original, very remixable. Not sure if you wanted an official mod review here, but I'll just give my general feedback. Arrangement There's a good semblance of structure here. As far as implied dynamics go, it's in a good spot. My main concerns would be in the production aspect. Production/Mixing I would focus on addressing the drums throughout. To me they seem like placeholder samples before you put in the actual ones. - The first moment where the drums are iffy is 1:04 - 1:15; you are using the same drum sounds here as in the main sections, whereas the dynamics here are meant to be lower. I'd swap these drums out for something more distant with a longer reverb tail. - At 1:15 and in similar spots, I thought there would be a cymbal to mark a major transition. That would do a lot by itself. - The snare rolls tended to have similar velocities, such as at 1:40, 2:47, and other major transitions. Try varying the velocities so that they sound like rolls (alternating intensities), as opposed to just maximally hitting the snare. It's very apparent at 3:04 where the military-like rhythm doesn't make too much sense unless you actually used an orchestral snare --- Basically, what I've just said above boils down to: - treat the drums with more TLC by addressing their mechanical rhythm and intensities - take the time to choose more drum samples that are more appropriate for the implied dynamics of a given section - mark your transitions a bit more clearly with cymbals
