  1. I'm taking everything you've said and using it to completely redo the project from scratch with my Roland SC-88 VL. I've been watching a lot of content on velocity and dynamics to make my programming sound more natural and less robotic. On top of that, I've been diving into videos on how to build fuller, less harsh-sounding string and horn sections, and learning how to use EQ and reverb to bring out more dynamic, polished results.
  2. Thank you for the in-depth review, this has been SUPER helpful. 1. A lot of my stuff might be stiff is due to me playing the notes on my keyboard, then manually clicking them in on the piano roll or quantizing them into place.. I guess I got hyper fixated on everything being strictly on beat--but I didn't realize that could be a negative (maybe it makes it sound less human?) 2. Yeah, it started to annoy me, as well. But it blends so well in the original track on the Genesis, I guess that's where I need to learn more and practice more mixing. 3. Yeah, some people on the Discord said to do that to make it my own. Despite this being a 1:1 learning experience, I would like to create something that I could submit for an official remix. So, for further practice, since I'm familiar with Green Hill Zone, I'll try to make an actual remix. I'm currently listening to other genres and jotting down ideas throughout the day. Seriously, thank you for the help! You've (and everyone else) has me inspired to stick with it!
  3. I've already thanked you in Discord, but I'll say it again—thank you! Your critique really helped me identify areas I need to improve, mainly mixing and EQing, so I can make my basslines and drums hit harder. Like I mentioned in my original post, my goal was to create something pretty close to 1:1 to practice composing and understand how some of my favorite producers build their tracks. But I think it’d be cool to venture off the beaten path and create something more unique within that framework. I might take that approach with this track down the line. I'm still learning, but this feedback has been super valuable to my growth!
  4. Hello everyone! I've recently rekindled my passion for music after a long hiatus and have started exploring it again. I used to be a hip-hop sample-based producer, but I found myself getting bored with that style. Now, I'm eager to learn how to compose video game music by remaking tracks from my favorite games. I recently remade the Green Hill Zone theme and would greatly appreciate any constructive criticism. I believe that understanding my areas for improvement is essential for my growth as a musician. Thanks!!! https://youtu.be/RK4bJ3kPt7c?si=gTmsTLUayJs95Y9n
