DKC2 Forest Interlude "The Lush, Wet Rainforest" - Elijah Wiencek

[BurningMagma]

Hello everyone,

I improved at mixing, so I decided to take a go on DKC's Forest Interlude song! What are your thoughts? It uses FM8, Zebra2, some drums, and a free Taiko SFZ I found on the web.

Here's an improvement (at least in my opinion)

The water & bird SFX lasting until :32 was tasteful and well-integrated. That 3-note padding line first brought in at :38 almost sounds like a very low-key choir. There's also added original writing at 38 that wasn't in v2 of this WIP. Considering that you retread the theme at 1:06 and 2:04, you could have held that additive original writing until then to give you somewhere to go dynamically (if you're going to have a longer arrangement).

Overall, it's a solid, chippy sound that feels meaningfully personalized. Keep developing and evolving this!
