    I've remade the Ice Cap Zone remix and...

    Oh, also, in terms of having overlapping treble frequencies, it may just appear to be that way because the saw chords are very detuned. Not necessarily a bad thing, as soundcloud encodes in 128 kbps, which can degrade your upper-treble frequencies anyhow. I think it sounds sufficiently well-mixed up there.

    What I would examine are the drops at 1:00 and 2:13. To me, they kind of don't live up to the hype you create in your buildups. I'm not sure if a cymbal is just buried in the mix, but an audible cymbal at those transition points should help improve the drops. I also think at 1:43, the lead could be more different in tone from the panning arpeggio. Right now it sounds like the same waveform, which blends together "too well" and decreases the clarity of the mix. What if you added a filter LFO for motion, and some distortion for harmonic strength?

    Other than those nitpicks, I think this is pretty close to what you were going for. :)

    Sorry about that mix errors.

    I'm new in this, I started 1 year ago, but I think I've learned a lot of things despite being short time. I've bought a studio monitors (headphones) a month ago and that has help me a lot to notice mix errors and things like that.

    Thanks, I will take into account your advice for next time ><

    In that case, it would help to do so, because it may be what @germanjazzguy is hearing. It's not exactly obvious, but I hear it too: if you don't sidechain the kick with the bass, since your kick happens to have a long meaty tail, the frequencies at 20~100 Hz can clash with the bass at nearly the same frequency range, creating what can be called muddiness (clashing bass frequencies). If you try EQing the bass down where the kick's bass frequencies are, it sacrifices power for clean bass, which you probably don't want.

    Sidechaining the kick with the bass allows the bass to duck as the kick plays, and there should be a bit less muddiness as a result, and you don't have to sacrifice some power for a clean bass frequency blend.

    Thanks!! :)

    Just came across this. Ice Cap Zone is one of my favorite Sonic 3 tracks.

    I like the arrangement and the airy feel of the intro - it actually sounds chilly. However, you need to tone down the volume and EQ the bass and percussion. Way too heavy in comparison to other elements like the hi-frequency chip-tones.

    I like the breakdown at 1:29, but I think you should put something else in here, a fill of some sort. How are you for soloing on that keyboard? It would be a good place to rock out a bit and see what happens.

    I really like the way things come together at 2:13, this is where I hear the overall sound best, IMO. Too boomy at 1:03.

    How do you think the ending sounds? I think it sounds cut short, ending on the last note of the main rhythm. if that's what you're looking for, then go with it, but to me it does seemed chopped.

    As a first time producer, you should be proud of this. This is really good work, and I hope I see more from you. Cheers and play on!

     

    Thanks!! It's the first electronic thing that I've made :)
