So, I took a break from writing. Burnt myself out. Needed to work on something else for a change. Now, those of you who've been around for a while will probably know I had a period where I tried to write music for a fangame people were making. I haven't really made anything since, but...well, I needed a change of scenery.
I'm bad with concepts and naming. Hell, I more or less threw this together as I went along, but here it is:
Holy Disaster ~ Crusade of Crisis! (http://www.mediafire.com/?c5ehcta4hchc8pb)
Not sure how frequently I'll be able to make these, if at all. Inspiration comes and goes, even moreso than with my writing. :V

It's pretty good ! It has a Top Gear 2-ish vibe to it, maybe because of the synth bass.

Fantastic job.
As for the song, it's a pretty good listen.
Time to give my commentary.
- First, what combination of DAW, software, hardware, etc. do you use? I detect THFont.
- The backing run of notes and melody have too similar tones. One of them should be changed.
- I didn't like the polysynth in the background - lower its attack and raise its delay and release a little bit.

Write the MIDI in Anvil Studio, run it through SynthFont using THFont.

I'm afraid I don't know what any of those words mean. Attack? Delay? Release?

This might be where I run into trouble because I have no idea how to edit these in Synthfont. :x

SynthFont lacks these capabilities IIRC. For adjusting such parameters you need to load the SF2 in a VST or AU wrapper such as SFZ+ or EXS24. From there you can adjust some settings with a graphical interface, which improves their flexibility a bit.
I haven't played in Anvil in a while, however, but I know it can load VSTis....

LOOOOooooove~
I just love the way THFont sounds, especially how you used the piano. Is this Acoustic Piano and Bright Piano? I can't seem to get the pianos to sound properly.
Also at 1:12, I think I'm hearing some synth brass. It kinda sounds like the AccessVirusBrass, though I could be wrong though. It kinda sound exciting for some reason.
I just want to point out the lack of power dedicated to the kicks. :3
Looking forward to hearing more. XD

SUDDENLY FROM PAGE 5 AFTER 7 MONTHS
So today I had Anvil open and decided 'what the hell, DRK needs a theme song of some sort'. I'm still pretty lousy at this whole thing, but hopefully it's passable enough to be entertaining. :P

I'm getting Amiga vibes here, thanks to the panning of the instruments into hard left/right most of time. Not a problem, since I do love the Amiga sound, but I'm just noting that.
Good use of the trumpet and the fretless bass as a counter-melody/harmony.
I find the drums a bit quiet, and the harpsichord a bit loud around 1:30 especially. For the main piano melody I'd consider raising it an octave to make it stand out more. Piano seems lonely at 1:57, and could use some support, such as a left-hand portion.
