Sonic 3 Azure Lake Remix "Crystal Clear"

[KingTiger]

I was originally planning to add vocals to this, but now I'm not sure; I feel like it stands so well on its own that I don't want to add anything else.

It's pretty much synthpop. It's a bit funky and very groovy.

Doesn't anyone have feedback for this mix?

Dude, this is very good.

It has a very clean sound to it, the notes are clear and straightforward, and it makes it sound satisfying and deliberate.

The fact that there's not much reverb stood out to me a little. With the overall synthetic sound the remix has, that's actually totally fine, but some added reverb to a couple instruments might give it a slightly different sound. Not better, just different.

My brain at 2:56 : "DudethatsoundslikeEarthbound!!"

At the end, does the piano start out quiet and then fade in as everything else fades out? I think that may be making it sound a little bit abrupt, to me.

Good sound, low quality samples. Try replacing some instruments with some better quality ones. For example, synth guitar -> real guitar, piano soundfont -> more realistic piano. In other words, more realism!

The piano's timing is a little bit off in the end, too.
