This is a heavy Hopes And Dreams project I'm working on for fun, but also to learn the proper ways of recording/mixing to get a nice smooth tone and clear instruments. I didn't want to deviate from the style of the original because it's so pretty, but at the same time I wanted to play it myself and give it a louder feel. Feedback is much appreciated, and please let me know if I've made any mistakes so far.

I was going to eventually replace the synths with a recorded electric violin, but due to other projects I'm holding off on it. The current version has been updated and probably staying that way for awhile, although I'm still open to opinions.

Really nice crunchy tone in this. I think the electric violin would make a nice addition.

My main criticism would just be that the elements could be better mixed. It feels very low and low mid heavy to me and it really weighs down the rest of the mix. I'm a bit of a stickler for clean sounds and this isn't the type of music I listen too much so I'm sure you could find examples mixed in this way but to me with a piece that has such a heavy emphasis on melody you really want it to shine through.

Overall though I think its a nice recreation, very well rounded in terms of arrangement  and performance, good job.
