  2. I like the almost post rock feel you've gone for, makes it really dreamy. Unfortunately the chord progression doesn't sit quite right with me, and I miss the B section :( But I've heard the tune so many times that most changes to it would seem really jarring! Haha, great work otherwise dude!

    I've sort of incorporated the B section but I've modified it so heavily that it's not really recognizable, I'll take that into account on my future remixes. Thanks for the feedback :D

  3. One thing may be that the dynamic range is somewhat minimal, it makes it a little harder to feel the big moments because of that, also in some of the thick parts, the snare+drum clips a bit and I can't feel the full impact.

    And lastly I would experiment with transposing the pieces and trying various keys, each song is wonderful to listen to, but the whole when listening to the whole album it loses a bit of a spark to the sound.

    Thank you for the feedback! :D I tend to compress things too much, it's an old bad habbit. I'll also try experimenting with various keys more :D

  4. Sonic the Hedgehog has been my favorite series ever since I was a child and Sonic Heroes definitely had an impact for me, Hang Castle and Mystic Mansion being one of my favorite from the game.

    I've tried approaching the song with an electronic remix trying to fit in the level's atmosphere.

    The state of the track is finished and it will be featured on my first album which will be a remix album featuring remixes from all stages from Sonic Heroes. I'd like to recieve feedback on the track. Also I would like to know if under further development, this track has any chance making into OCRemix.

  5. Wow! Thanks, that's really comprehensive and helpful. I've already did some changes you suggested on the track.

    I like the "pingy" main instrument that carries the melody... By about halfway through, I feel it's sort of overused.

    I've been more focused on the slap bass so I almst forgot about the lead. I should add another layer :-)

    Around 1:53, where you are basically repeating material in the background, I feel like you are missing a great opportunity to put something in the foreground like a badass guitar solo or some such.

    I've recorded a guitar solo but it was too simple, so I decided to add variations to the slap bass instead of having a guitar. Still you're right, I should've added some solo. I might try and re-record that guitar solo or a synth solo maybe if the guitar doesn't work out.
