Hi. Good luck in your future mixing. I like the instruments you used (except for 1) and the solo's are nice, though after 8 mins a bit repetitive. The song is crisp and clean sounding so good job not overdoing or screwing the mix. So... a few critiques... Consider making the instruments sound like a person is playing them. For example, the electric guitar can go a little off key when notes are being held as if the player is relaxing his finger and moving the string a little. The different notes in the solo's being played could be a bit more mistake-filled. Not huge mistakes, but slight variances in the length of note's in the runs can make it sound more human. I would slow down the runs at the start by the electric guitar as in the very fast parts the notes tend to run together and get smudged. Also, the piano does that a little when it solo's. Now the bass sounds really shallow coming out of my speakers, and they're not good speakers, which might be it. It would sound fuller if it were not so low, and you could probably run it a little faster for it's solo. And the drums, not the symbols, but the smacks on the tom-toms (?) would sound more real if they were a little brighter, or had more highs. That's my thoughts listening about a time and a half. It's alright, not as bad as other things I've heard on here, so the lurking on others comments is likely paying off. I think the Jurassic Park sound track in FF sounds would be pretty cool.

Hi I'm new here and not using the right form to reply with feedback. So disregard my feedback if it bothers you. It's pretty much negative anyways. I really, really, really hate the broken, inconsistent tempo. If it's your way of being artsie with music then good luck. The electric guitar could be turned down some and the piano in the second half increased a little and that would help even out the sound. The overall direction of the song goes building to half and then not much anywhere in the second part, probably cause you wrote them separately. If you could work it to take the listener somewhere... I couldn't tell the tune of the song so I had to get the chip tunes for LOZ MM. So thanks for making me get them, as I really liked that game after getting over my frustration with how different it is.

Greetings. I like'd your mix quite a bit. The changing from horn to organ sound adds a good variety and the song has decent energy throughout. I would love it if the horns in the first half minute did a crescendo and if the bass would be a little louder when the organs are doing there thing around .50-1min. I play the bass so I'm biased, but I think a slight more would add a bit to the distinction of the different parts. Good luck with your work, hope I've helped.

As this is my first post past the introductory thread and I haven't listened to the original song, by all means ignore it if you don't like it. I liked your piece overall, here are some things I'd change. You do some piano around 1:38 for 4 or 5 seconds... maybe you have it in more and I just didn't pick it out? I'd think introducing the instrument means a promise to hear more of it. And I would have liked to hear other things pick up the main melody once or twice and that piano sound would do the trick. Also around 40-50 there is a section where the notes are slower and more drawn out. I was thinking adding staccato to some of the notes would allow the longer drawn out ones to stand out more and help tie that part to the rest of that song that's filled with the quick played short notes of the melody. Just some thoughts, good luck.

Hello anyone reading this far (or short, as time goes by) into this forum thread. I have an electric bass guitar which I seek to play acoustically. But that is the end to my musical talents or knowledge. I absolutely love video game music, the fast pace, the simple melodies, and listen to rips of old video game music a lot (like the ones at this site http://www.nes-snes-sprites.com/index.html) But then I just found this site yesterday and have been listening to a lot of things. This one (http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02258) blew my mind, so I figured I'd try and join and maybe contribute.
