Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you liked the adaptation. The length of the track was limited due to the contest's requirements, and the main focus was to keep the main melody almost identical to the original game's tune. However, I've been considering creating a longer version with more variations.
Regarding the mixing and mastering, it's true that it can be challenging. I tried using an online mastering tool this time, and in Cubase, I only adjusted the volume levels of individual instruments. I'll definitely try your suggestions and work on improving the mix and master. Thanks for the advice!
This style of music is quite new for me, and I don't listen to it much either. That's why I'm especially happy that both the audience and you enjoyed it! If I find some time this summer, I'll make some modifications and try to create a more refined version. Thanks again for your support and constructive feedback!
