Crash bandicoot 2 - Rock It (Symphonic Metal Cover)

Here's my track for this month's Pixel Mixers VGM Cover Contest. I've wanted to do this one for a while and I had at least 4 separate unfinished versions and this month being essentially a free month motivated me to finally tackle this one.
The original is my favourite track in the whole Crash Bandicoot trilogy so I hope I did it justice.
Original music: Josh Mancell

[@Tremendouz]

@@Tremendouz your welcome dude!

[@Sean081799]

Great arrangement!

[@Tremendouz]

Thanks!

[@BrendanVavra]

Loved the build in this arrangement - the orchestration was very well done, kudos!

[@Tremendouz]

Thanks! I'm mostly following the original except for the guitars and drums. Such an interesting track that really stands out from the rest of the OST

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Fun rock energy. Guitars sound pretty great as always!

[@Tremendouz]

Thanks!

I've been listening almost exclusively to Crash remixes for years. I just found your channel on one of your Egyptian music. I didn't like its cover, so I never listened to it. But then I finally went for it today, you're doing it really well.
This will be my favorite track from you, it's so epic.

[@Tremendouz]

Glad you liked it! I really should redo that "Egypt" one some day, I've learned a lot since then

[@KaroTizes]

I'm glad for you. :) @@Tremendouz

[@willimakemusic]

You DEFINITELY did it justice! Wow, this is so fun to listen to!

[@Tremendouz]

Thanks!

[@heavymetalmixer91]

RUclips didn't notify me about this one. I found it thanks to the video you uploaded yesterday.
Really good cover.

[@Tremendouz]

Thanks!

[@psycosulu]

Love the energy, pretty good stuff!

[@Tremendouz]

Thanks man!

[@Hashel]

Very cool and powerful, always filled with good energy and Trem's crazy quality programming !

[@Tremendouz]

Thanks!

[@caneb4]

oh my god this is really good!
You hit everything that made this song good and managed to rearrange it really nicely into this style!

[@Tremendouz]

Thanks!

[@WurtzelTrumpetMaster]

Such a great arrangement! Really love the buildup to the metal guitars! Great job!

[@Tremendouz]

Thanks!

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Great work, Trem! Love the energy! 😄

[@Tremendouz]

Thanks!

[@hyperlightdrummer]

Very nice arrangement and production job :) I'm impressed by how well you handle vst programming.

[@Tremendouz]

Thanks!

[@soundsandstuff]

I like this symphonic metal idea you made for this cover, and how the song's pace starts off slow then goes into full speed! The instruments and the mixing sound great, really nice work!

[@Tremendouz]

Thanks! I basically did what the original track did with the tempo except made it faster 😄

[@sammpaul]

NIce work. Well done!

[@MrGuitar0Man]

@Tremendouz Would you bill will to share the griff file for the rhythm guitar only ?

[@Tremendouz]

What's a griff file? This is all MIDI

[@MrGuitar0Man]

@@Tremendouz the midi file would be fantastic!

[@Tremendouz]

@@MrGuitar0Man okay I can do that today

[@Tremendouz]

@@MrGuitar0Man Here you go. This one's for AGVC and AGSC. In case you're wondering about the constant pitch bend down, that's for tuning the guitar down to drop C (enable "Poly Bend" in settings) we.tl/t-8UoUojTWuX
I also included the rhythm guitar MIDI (for AMH) for Light Your Fire since you asked in another comment.

[@MrGuitar0Man]

@@Tremendouz Everything works great, thank you. I got the triple bundle, got the Ample metal eclipse hellrazor and the bass, all sound super! I wanted to use your ideas, I need to know the proper way to do the slide down.. as the notation doesn't seem to work as I want it to, however in this rhythm I now can figure out how that works. I am now trying to figure out how to use these plugins to make a chord and have it strummed, as the strumming tool thing is new to me I am trying to figure it out. I am considering getting the plugin alliance diezel VH4, its got so much scrumptious chunk!
