Sim City (SNES) - Title Theme Remix

[Best Dude55]

Hello everyone! So, I recently wanted to get some more practice in arrangement and making remixes with more original aspects. So I chose this theme, since it is only about 20 seconds before the loop. It was pretty fun taking a 20 second song and making this remix, and feedback is appreciated!

It's really happy-go-lucky. Loved the piano intro, too. Great mix so far.

oh, thanks! Any suggestions on how to improve it by chance?

This really reminds me of the Medley of Pokemon/ Medley of Kirby remixes by Hapi.  I really enjoy this one, and I feel like it could be close to a finished product.  The only thing that I might be interested in is if you replace the melody at the end with piano.  That could give the piece a full-circle ending, just something to look into.

Cool, thanks! I'll see what it sounds like if I use that piano at the end!

Piano section sounds too quiet compared to the rest. Intro was short and the transition at 0:17 was too sudden and in a different key (which makes the intro feel detached from the rest). Add vibrato to your leads to prevent them from sounding straight.

Alrighty, so I made a few changes to the remix to see how it sounded. Mainly, I adjusted some volume levels that I thought might be too much/too little. I also tried out just a ouple different instruments in some small places, such as in the sort of buildup section.

Here's the current version: https://app.box.com/s/00f4l1hhqp9e5il6xf9xrcs5211hk7dl

Alrighty! So mainly just some small changes here and there. Probably the biggest thing I did in this version was add a little countermelody at 1:59, since it sounded a little empty there with just the one synth playing. Other than that, just small changes from the previous version.
