WIP, skychase zone act 1

[white-tea]

hey guys, I'm working on a cover of skychase zone act 1 from sonic 2 and I just wanted some input before I submitted it to the judges. This was all recorded on various guitars of mine using audacity.

I figured I'd try going for a folk feel on this one, for most of the song I tried emulating the various sounds that you hear while you're playing the level.

Here is a link to the original for reference.

Thanks for listening!

Not the best guitar sound, not a very tight performance (especially the bass), arrangement seems like an intro followed by a guitars cover of the source repeated a few times. I don't see this passing.

I think an all-guitar track is a cool idea, and your outro is hilarious, but I think this track would get three quick NOs if it made it to the panel. Work on getting your recordings tighter and your arrangements more varied and/or with a some direction. Consider getting something more than Audacity to work with, it should help you get your stuff up to par.

Not the best guitar sound

which one in particular? The lead? I thought the rhythm was pretty good. I've also been debating re-recording the bass, I guess I will now.

As for the arrangement I was debating just how far I should I should diverge from the original, I guess I'll try running with it a bit more. Thanks for the input.

I put it on my sound cloud. I just wanted to get some more advice before I start working on this again
