Wow, this tune brings back memories. You've got a pretty solid cover here. Nothing really jumps out, but I kinda appreciate the simplicity of it. It may not hurt to try some variation in the melody, even though it's short and sweet at 2 min. To be fair though, it's a fairly repetitive song, which leaves a mixer loads of room to work with. But if you're goal here is to make a cover, you've got a nice one. Well done!
Thanks for the comment! Yeah it is kinda repetitive. I will try some more variation in the future.

You should also be checking out OCR's Discord channel, too - the community has really been active on there, so you could easily get even more feedback on there, too.
I'll state this first and foremost (because OCR has a reputation of being harsh on covers) - you intended to make a cover, so I won't give any criticism on how it sounds too conservative or anything. People write music that they want, so good on y'all - covers are awesome, and you did a solid one here. You're asking for criticism so I'll be focusing on that, but it really is a catchy, well done cover, so don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
If I had to criticize this track, it would primarily be in the mixing. While the instruments all pop nicely, the leads are buried under all of the texture work and drums. When writing something with a strong theme, it's better to mix it in such a way that it doesn't get drown by the other instruments. It's not terrible right now, but it could stand to have the mixing fine tuned so the theme isn't buried. The drumwork is also fairly stale, as aside from a few fills there's nothing that even changes in them, making them sound like they're just droning. House doesn't need the basic 4-to-the-floor pattern to change much, but even shifting hats and/or playing with where the snare lands for a section or two could make this all that much more interesting.
Sorry if it ain't much, but those are my crits to the track. Breaking my earlier promise (a little bit) I wouldn't submit something like this because of how conservative it is, but I would love to see you send some stuff to the panel someday.
Thank you for the comment! Honestly, you hit it right on the nail. Mixing is my biggest weakness so far. I recently mixed a mashup of which I now regret not having put more volume in the lead... do you know of any places on youtube that elaborate on mixing?? I find this incredibly difficult to get into my intuition...

What's up!
I made a remix a few years ago. Decided to update it and upload it.
Also made a custom visualizer!! Very proud of that one!!
Though it's completed, I would still like some reviews if that's not a problem for you guys!
Ps: everything I upload will go on youtube, mainly because that's where my channel is, but also because i make my own music visualizers!

Mega Man Zero 2 - Departure
in Post Your Game ReMixes!

Hello,
It's been a while.
Last time I posted a fireman stage remix from mmbn
Now I come in hot with an old remix I made in 2015 of mmz2 departure
Just so you know, When I get a better guitar VST, I will use it, but untill then, it sounds like it is.
Hope you enjoy!
In regards to feedback, whatever you can think would be great. It's been a while since I looked at this, so an extra set of ears would help.
The lead for example is too loud in some parts, I hear separation between certain breaks and it throws me off...
Thank you in advance!
