### Yoshi's Island - Athletic Theme [VRC6+S5B]

This is a cover I made a few days ago. The original song is quite jumpy so it's really hard to achieve the exact tempo and note lengths, so I did this with a more regular tempo.
This is a multi-expansion module and it must be opened with the 0.5 beta version. I haven't done multi-expansion stuff before so the volume balancing might not be perfect. I'd like to know what you think of it though, that would be appreciated.

I really like this. Great work. Although I do think volume balancing needs to be adjusted, everything seems to blend together. But other than that, fantastic job!
I have no signature.

Shh! Weednix-sama isn't listed in the stoner army's records for a reason. It's a secret to everybody!
In all seriousness, thanks guys! I'll try to do a better job with stuff like this next time, because I agree that the volume balancing needs polishing. :P

As already mentioned, volume balance is something you might need to work on a little, some important parts are just barely audible. Other than that, this is perfect! You got everything spot on! The instrumentation sound almost identical to the original, and that was on the SNES! Every tone is just perfectly placed and are just the same as the original! Well done!

In terms of volume balance, IaTM seems to have determined that 5B level should be 3.3 dB above the 2A03 level in the mixer. The final 0.5.0 build will probably be adjusted to be closer to real hardware.
Excellent work on this, by the way.

Could you please highlight a few parts that you think are not very audible? I think Pulse 1 in frame 0B is hard to hear due to note clashings, but trying to fix those resulted in bad detuning so I resorted to lowering its volume instead. It goes without saying that because of this, it's a lot quieter than I intended. :P

This is great to know. I'll revisit this cover to rework the volume mixing if the 5B level does change whenever the stable 0.5.0 build comes out.
Thanks everyone for your comments!

Well, the thing I noticed the most was that the leads are too quiet, or rather, the stuff that is supposed to be more in the backround is a bit too loud and covers the leads, making them less audible. This problem lives mostly in frames 01-08, 0D and 0E.
I think you pulled of that thing in frame 0B pretty decently, and I don't think you really need to change it from how it is right now.

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. Pulse 1 is really quiet compared to everything else in the frames you mentioned, and the other channels that play the accompanying melodies get too loud sometimes. I think I didn't take care of this when I was polishing the track before posting it. Everything was way too loud before so I had to lower the volumes of almost everything, but I recall missing a few things now.
Thanks for pointing that out.
