Well, I was really board all day yesterday while waiting for someone to check out my first song I posted, so I made another :P This time I took a different perspective in it, but I like how it turned out. I need to figure out how I'm gonna end it, but that's the only major issue really left. Check it out!

DivShare File - Star Wolf.mp3

It's WAY too close to the source. Even the instruments, tempo.

Very repetitive because it's to close to the original.

This will need a lot more work before it's really ready to be critiqued here on this forum. Start with an idea of something you want to do to the source, and build on that. What you have is a midi with new instruments assigned, which is a fine place to start (my first thing I did was something like that) But don't get ahead of yourself and think you're almost done:?

If you need inspiration, look to the other remixes laying around or actual music. Make metal wolf, or waltz wolf.

Hope this helps

Yeah, this is essentially what ocr calls a "midi rip". Take midi, replace instruments, maybe add drums, and voilà! Needs more arranging.

Also, it's thin, drums need to stand out more, it needs more bass, it needs a cleaner high frequency range, it could use different instrument choices.

Like hewo already suggested, look to other remixes/other music for inspiration. Find some simple chord progression, bassline, concept to build your remix around. Work by writing source into an original arrangement, not taking a midi and trying to change it to be creative enough (much more complicated than writing your own arrangement from scratch).

Don't take this the wrong way, we're not dissing your remix. We're just picky about how creative it is. Put it in a playlist with your favorite remixes, see how it compares. Good luck remixing.
