I was kind of sad how short and simplistic this was... As far as harmonies go. I agree with Gario on that point, I feel like there could have been more harmonic elements utilized. The drums and bass were cool though.

Gotta love that I V VI IV chord progression. I like this one.

Drums can go ahead and add his flair too, if you change up some of the rhythms, maybe some syncopation or something, you can accentuate that by synchronizing the guitar and bass with the drums to get some pretty cool effects. Or don't synchronize. You could play other rhythms that revolve around what the drummer is doing but don't actually play on the accents of the selected rhythm. Just something to think about. @Sir_NutS said that it was pretty conservative. Take some arranging liberty. You can do a lot with a little. If it's a little that you have, don't try to do a lot with it. But, if you can record live, why not record guitar harmonies and layer them over the melody? Rhythms? Anything else you can do and add in post? I would recommend doing that in addition. I feel you're selling yourself short by saying that this is as good as it gets, but I know you could do better.

I found this to be really cool, especially all the builds and stuff. I've played around with making dubstep music before, and after doing so I dunno I don't really enjoy the genre much, but that doesn't make this bad. Subjectively, I kind of wish it went in a different direction, but objectively, you did it pretty well. Maybe I just didn't like all the high wubs. Lol but this was still really enjoyable. I can't wait for Breath of the Wild.

I dunno, the second edit kind of sounds... Off. More off than the first one. But the first one was pretty good. You used some pads or something from :44 to the end basically on the first edit, but they weren't in the second one and I'm questioning why. I kind of liked the first one better, even without the panning and stuff. Try adding some reverb on things. Not too much. But not too little. It just sounds kind of dry in my opinion. I'm no professional, but this is just my thoughts and observations lol.

Thank you! I liked this one a lot too, compared to my other stuff. I'm still editing it, though. But thanks, I really appreciate it!

@Mordi Oh man, I love this remix so much, I came back to listen to it while I'm doing homework. Helps calm me down, especially with the stress of college coming soon and having to deal with that.

I'm not really qualified to evaluate this, so I won't lol. I did really enjoy this. The muted trumpet around :50 was cool, I liked that. The reverby sax at 1:30 was real cool too. I liked it, a nice jazz piece. As far as anything else goes like mixing or production lol, I can't really say I'm qualified to tell you about. But I enjoyed this.

Oh, really?! Aw sweet! I'm probably gonna buy it then lol.

@YoshiBlade Lol, I'll take into consideration what you said, thank you. But, what realized after listening to this really is how repetitive that early pluck and how it needs to be fleshed out more. So thanks for pointing that out!

You should consider selling this xD because I'll be first in line to buy it.

Fixed some issues that I thought were prevalent.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I'll make sure to check them out.

I'm in search of some new plugins, and I wanna know if anyone knows any good ones that are preferably free. Thanks!

Haha alright, thanks for all the info! I'm probably gonna start diving right into automation and see what I can do with it. (I have midterms next week but to be honest I think I'll just remix all weekend).

Aaaaaand submitted!

I agree, The Minish Cap had some classic tunes that I feel often go overlooked. I dunno. I think I loved it so much because Capcom was involved. But thanks for enjoying it, I'm still working on this, so I'll update it as soon as I can.

Thanks for the info, guys! Really helped!

Ok, I can tune those crashes down. Thanks for the input!

I know this is gonna sound like I'm ignorant xD but in the process of teaching myself production, I'm ready to step further out of my comfort zone and ask, what IS automation? I looked it up and I still don't get it. What does it do?

A realbook is an illegally published book full of sheet music. It has a counterpart, there are also fakebooks, which are legally published "realbooks." At least that's what I was taught. It's like that Greenland/Iceland scenario.

The Minish Cap is my favorite game in the Zelda franchise, and I've putting off my favorite song from the game (Minish Village) for quite a while. I finally said, "You know what, I'm gonna do it." So I got around to starting this project. Don't think I'm quite done yet, but I've got the bulk of it done. Most recent version of mix:

I think I'm gonna go get a gym membership so I can work out to this song.

I'm pretty sure I fixed these issues, now.

Ah, now I really like this. I really liked the gliding synth at the beginning to segway into the theme. Awesome.
