First post, first remix, first everything.
Original:
Rudora no Hihou (Secret Treasure of the Rudras) is a pretty unknown RPG by Squaresoft for the SNES which hasn't been released outside Japan. Interestingly its composer is the same as the one for Mystic Quest Legend/Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. The soundtrack is great (listen to The Spirit Chaser!), why aren't there any remixes up here yet?
Anyway, this my first self made remix, though it's probably more of an arrangement than a remix. It's a pretty straightforward orchestration of the main screen's theme, probably way too close to the original to ever meet OCR's guidelines.
But it's my first try at arranging, so I'd love feedback anyway

...I forgot the ID3 tag
The volume is a bit low but that's intended to support the structure (yeah right ^^.
I know the end is pretty rough but I actually like it the way it is.
Am I overdoing it at the climax and making it too muddy? I don't have any speakers, so I'd like some feedback on the overall soundscape balance. I am also very unsure of the reverb settings.
Thanks for the feedback. Hm, I guess the double basses alone are not enough. It's difficult to divert from the default panning because my samples are all prepanned, but I'll try. I probably overdid it with the humanization. Fixed. I think it's a problem that too many high and mid frequencies are on the left (mainly violins). I put the flute a bit more to the right and tried to separate first and second violins. For some reason the horns were panned to the far left per default (?!), I mirrored them to the right and reduced their spread a bit. It cleared up a lot after I panned the horns correctly. I probably should double the high flute (yes, it's actually there ^^ to provide a highfreq counterbalance to the strings. I'm trying, but I just can't find the right spot to introduce them as a new instrument.
