A friend asked me to cover one of the tracks from the original Castle Vania game, so I composed this shuffle jazz/blues/funk variation on the song "Wicked Child" (it plays on level 3 in the game I think). Basically I just took parts of the lead melody and built a new song around it. I'm looking for some pointers on how to mix it. Does anything sound weird or unfitting? A better idea for the lead instrument? I'm using a slightly phased clavinet...

Hope you like it!
Wicked Child is one of the coolest tracks of any nes game, possibly in the entire world of gaming
Your version is really well made, and in a really cool style too
Well I hear it, but I'm not getting any Wicked Child vibe here. That's just because of how you change the style though, which you meant to do...so it's a success! I think. I don't like all the lead stuff over the shift. If you know what I'm talking about.

Yeah, I got it. It's a bit messy at times. The idea was to take the lead melody and do something completely different and I pushed it a bit too far at times. I'll see if I can clean it up a bit in the final mix. Thanks!
Yah the only other thing I could add would be to boost the volume for the melody in the mix. I meant to tell you that in my first post but between words I was kind of nodding off into space...sorry. Can't wait to hear it when you clean it up!
