Hey guys, been visiting ocremix for a while but never posted here. I did a metal cover of haunted woods recently and I'd love some feedback. It would help me out on making next cover better. Hope you guys like it, thanks!
Haunted Woods (Diddy Kong Racing) - Metal Remix/cover
in Post Your Game ReMixes!

Thanks for all the feedback guys!
@DevilBeats agreed. I had this song finished a while ago, but it wasn't good and I re-recorded most of it. That was one element that I didn't, and I should have.
@T- Ape I tried using synth for the fast(ish) riff at 0:17 but it got lost in the mix. Could be my amateur mixing skills though, I'll try experimenting with synth more in the future.
@jnWake Lots of advice, wow! First I'll agree to disagree with the tempo change. The source song (https://youtu.be/l2ejlmLmi8c) only references the intro lick once, and I figured it would be a great way to make a splash into the song, and then stick the faster tempo. I think it sounds better slow. Also the drums do warn you of the tempo increase! Here's an example of someone else who maintained tempo (https://youtu.be/En5QKDXbhOQ)
Agreed about the vibrato. Trumpet is my primary instrument, I don't practice guitar much these days. Sometimes I need to think about what I'm doing on guitar rather than it coming naturally to me like it does on trumpet. Looking back, I didn't even think to vibrato when recording. I'll keep that in mind, and practice more.
The low part I'm assuming is at 0:56. Yeah I tuned down to I think...B? It was very low. Probably a bit too much, but I really wanted to make that riff sound suupper heavy. Would have been better had I transcribed the song into a different key I suppose.
Thank you, regarding the mix! I've been using headphones for a long time but I just bought a pair of Yamaha H7s to mix with and it reeaallly helped me out.
Thanks everyone!
