[Asteroid Field Aurora]

It has a nice video game rhythm. It's very soothing and has good fullness. It's definitely a high-end 3 Imo. Keep making music :)

Glad you enjoyed it you gorgeous person! Lol, but seriously, thanks dude, hahaha. :)

[-Rivals-]

I love this song! It sounds so much like a song from a Sega game and has a neat funky/industrial beat to it. Probably one of your top 5 compositions and probably one of the best, if not the best, produced songs quality wise. It's so crisp sounding it's great!

[Road to Solitude]

Very solid and gives me a sort of Final Fantasy feel whike still maintaining your own style. I'm a big fan of the bass line you used in this song as well as the choice of instruments. It was very unique and "music" to my ears, haha. I notice too in your descriptions that you have all these special synths and instruments. I know now how much I am limiting myself. I need to upgrade my FL past the initial verso because all I've had really are preset instruments, the fruity dx10, gms, and simsynth and those are all that my songs contain so not only do I not know the first thing about the production aspect of music, I also have low grade resources xD. Man I have a long way to go. Anyway, I really like your music, and I think I have found someone I can relate to music wise and that I can set a standard to although it is high compared to where I'm at now, lol.

Thanks, some of the chords in this song reminded me of Damcyan castle from FF4; Nobuo Uematsu inspired me to make music in the first place. The first song I saved in FL was in march 2012 and it sounded like garbage; I had no idea what I was doing. That wasn't very long ago, so I'm sure you'll be making good stuff fairly soon if your current uploads are your starting point. You got the writing part down already, that took me awhile to get and I'm still learning.

The Mixing Engineer's handbook helped me out a lot, it covers many genres and made me understand how in-depth the mixing process is. Check out the NG audio forums, OCRemix, or any other music community and you'll find lots of useful information on music production

[Illusion]

I really liked this piece. And what you said about the strings in my opinion doesn't take away from the song. I really focus on the different instruments, chord progressions, overtures, etc, and it seemed to all fit together despite the quirky ending. The only thing I would change about the ending is to change the staticky sound to something else like a sinister sine bass but other than that i think it was a great piece! If you have time, too, could you tell me what you think of my pieces? I'm not very experienced with FL so any feedback good or bad would help a ton! Thanks :)
