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.

Gotta say, I don't really like rap, but you made it sound, well... Good! I listen to jazz and stuff xD so rap is not in my arsenal of anything music, but I actually really liked this. I can't wait for Sonic Mania, too! (As long as they don't screw it up.)

@arseniy Thank you! There's still some small problems with my editing that I'm going to fix, but thanks for enjoying it!

I've edited my remix, updated the link, and now hopefully most of the problems are fixed.

@Rozovian I really appreciate your honesty! To say that I'm a professional would be such a false statement in every way, I don't know anything about production, so I'm trying to teach myself. I'm not sure as though I'll have any opportunities of official education on this stuff. But that's no excuse, really. Looking at it, the mixing is pretty bad xD and instrumentation could use some work, and especially on this one, I do feel I tried to do too much at once. Although, I really appreciate your input and advice on making this better, I can't thank you enough for spending the time to give an amateur like me the time of day to try and make this better. I will certainly take into account the information that you have provided me.

I decided to go more orchestral for this one, but get it to be pretty choatic and interesting. Let me know what you think! *Update* Fixed some mixing issues and got rid of the clicks.

I actually realized during editing that for whatever reason, I had the trumpet panned left and I don't know why I did that xD. I could definitely add an echo like you described, nothing too big. It's the first time I've worked with live instruments that don't go direct, so it's brought its issues to the table. But, it's a learning experience, that's really all I'm doing these remixes for. I don't want money or anything, I just wanna learn, you know? But I digress. I fixed some of the compression and part of that overcompression I think is because for whatever reason, the samples I used already had a huge default amount on them. So I reduced it.

Ok, so the bass should be something changed a little. I appreciate your enthusiasm in showing my flaws as a musician xD. That trumpet did give me some editing issues. And I've played around with compression, maybe I'm not listening for the right thing, but I really just don't hear anything except for a volume difference, but I know there's more to compression than just volume. But I just can't figure out. The drums probably get too abrasive because I did up the treble a little bit to make it stand out more, so that's something I can easily reduce. And I can fix the silence at the end xD. Personally, I do think that the soundscape gets a bit crowded, especially during the latter of the Hyrule Field segment, I could take out some stuff but then I'm afraid it'd be too barren. I dunno.

Alright, thanks for the input! As for the "saxophone," that's actually live trumpet you're hearing, so that's about as real as it gets xD.
