Golden Axe - Theme Cover

[TheFulyn]

Hello OC Community! I just got reminded about that game, so i looked for it music and i found it interesting. It's a classic, and i think some of you may remember it too. Here is a cover of the most heard melody.

Nice work on the guitars.

If you're looking for feedback, I think an area to work on would be the drums. Specifically:

-The kick has trouble cutting through the mix. Maybe try some layered kicks with different frequencies and side-chain them to whatever else is eating up their space.

-The drums in general could benefit from some humanization, I think. Especially the hi-hat, which seems the most mechanical.

-Certain cymbals stick out as significantly louder than others. For example, at 1:17 the ride cymbal hits feel rather loud compared to the hi-hat. Maybe the hi-hat is a bit on the quiet side, too. Honestly, mixing is not my strong point, but my ears are telling me that the volumes seem a little off... the ride and hat don't sound like they're part of the same drum set, if that makes any sense.

Pretty rocking remix-- lots of things are working well in this one, particularly in the guitar performance. I like it!

Thank you very much! I have long time problem with the drums.

You got right with the volume, but when i have hit hat louder, you can hear only hit hat and everything else is gone in the mix. It's a long way to master something listenable, i hope the day will come

Thank you for reaction, i will try to do better next time (as always.)
