I want to fix up my most recent WCRG entry and submit it. I know there are a few major issues that need to be fixed: I need to re-record the vocals because I didn't enunciate enough, I need to re-process them because I used too much reverb and it's hard to understand the words, and I need to re-master the whole song because the lows are too dominant and the highs are too piercing.

Let me know what you think and if there are any spots you hear that need attention/improvement!

Info from the Soundcloud page:

A remix of Mega Man 9's "Tornado Man", Mega Man 2's "Title Theme", and Mega Man 8's "Wily Castle 1"

General source usage:

Tornado Man - vocal lines

Mega Man - Chords during "chorus" section

Wily Castle - rhythmic patterns, bass solo sections

Lyrics:

Verse 1

When life gets you down, you can't give up

Pull yourself together for those you love

Got one life to live, don't waste your time, this is all you get

In the end you don't want a life that's filled up with regrets

Chorus 1

Crushed under the tedium you feel so alone

When the beat takes hold of you just let your passion show

You are much more than you seem

You've got to follow your dreams

Verse 2

Time will pass you by without second thought

Do the best that you can with what you've got

Just one life to live so don't waste your time, give it all you have

Maybe then all the hard times in your past won't hurt so bad

Chorus 2

Lost in anonymity you feel so alone

When the beat takes hold of you just let your passion show (let it show)

We are much more than we seem

You've got to follow your dreams

The bass is too loud near 95Hz or so, but the tone is good. A bit too much low end ambience on the reverb in the background instruments, and your vocals have a lot of distortion artifacts as well as some remaining sibilance. 1:06 is especially an issue and you should look for more rough instances like that. The rest of the percussive stuff was pretty OK in my book, but the mastering leaves the non-percussive material with room for improvement.

The kick is great, it would be fine as-is. The snare could use more thwap with some layering.
