So, I'm not familiar with electronic or house music too much, that's why I was tagging it as what I've listened to in the past. What do you mean by "the bass lead can be at more places like 2:34"? Like overlap that section with the bass lead from the beginning?

I was going to eventually replace the synths with a recorded electric violin, but due to other projects I'm holding off on it. The current version has been updated and probably staying that way for awhile, although I'm still open to opinions.

Not sure why I didn't get notified of a reply, but thanks for the input! It's at 135 right now and I'm still working on it. (Uploading a new, almost finished version tomorrow). I actually picked this because I could not find any remixes from anyone else. I'll possibly submit it once I get some more input on what needs fixed.

I'm trying a different genre than normal. This is still a work in progress and also I'm trying to do it without recording any live instruments. (Very new at this) If anyone has any suggestions on the eq mixing, progression, or even how I would get the guitar slide sound at the beginning of the original, I'd love to hear them. As always I'm looking for this communities knowledge and criticism since it's proved so useful in the past. Thanks! Original: Remix v2:

Stellar work. I'm really loving the bass tone you have going on and the slap section at 1:21 is spot on.

Gario, That is amazing work! This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to find on OCRemix. Audacity really did bring out the volume on my mix that I couldn't find on StudioOne. So with that, I attempted the same process on another piece with similar instruments and mixing. I don't want to get too off-topic or merge posts but I had some questions about what you did. So for one, if you see a large spike in audio only for a brief millisecond, is there an easier way of tracking the source down other than importing the mix with a suspect instrument muted to see if the spike is still there, and repeating this process until you find the culprit? Also, would it ever be beneficial to use both soft and hard limiting in between amplifications, or is it always cleaner to just choose one? I wasn't aware Audacity had these extra tools available, so this is a whole new world opened up for me. For that I'm deeply appreciative.

This is a heavy Hopes And Dreams project I'm working on for fun, but also to learn the proper ways of recording/mixing to get a nice smooth tone and clear instruments. I didn't want to deviate from the style of the original because it's so pretty, but at the same time I wanted to play it myself and give it a louder feel. Feedback is much appreciated, and please let me know if I've made any mistakes so far. Original: Remix v2:

Okay, so I've pushed the leads up a bit further so they cut through the rhythm guitars, and made a few eq cuts all around like you said. I've also uploaded it as a WAV file in case anyone wanted to take a stab at raising the level. I downloaded Audacity to try it myself later, but I haven't used the program in ages so it won't be beneficial until I read up on it a bit. I'm going to be posting another project shortly that I reworked with these tips, but I think I'm on the right track now, so thank you!

That's really great to hear! I've listened to it over so many times that I can only really hear the small mistakes now. I agree that the market is quite flooded now with Undertale mixes but I just wanted to practice on a song I knew very well, given how many times I've had to listen to it. I've had issues keeping the volume at normal levels because some portions such as the lead you mentioned start to sound piercing after being raised. Just raising the gain or volume for the whole mix causes 'popping' or 'clipping'. I also don't understand what Audacity can do for the volume levels that StudioOne can't. Could you expand on that? I can upload a FLAC or WAV if that helps somehow. Much thanks!

Can anyone give any advice with this?

Please review my version of Megalovania and tell me how I can improve! I've started recording on my own using Studio One and I'm basically teaching myself the editing, EQing, and mixing process. I'd love to hear some feedback/criticism from the pros since the WIP did not turn out the way I wanted it to. Original: Remix Updated v3:
