[Music] Aka Kyuketsuki's work
Aka Kyuketsuki:
--- Quote ---I've Heard the half of the songs, but they show you have talent, the only problem are the instruments used, even if you remastered on fl studio they are still low quality, its like a GM soundfont :/, at least the brass is fine and sounds fine(its like the hyper canvas one), the guitar is also fine

Thank you ! But yeah, free soundfonts are usually cheap, but still effective. I'm not really into illegal stuff either :/ I do what I can with what I have.
--- Quote ---As for Aka's music, I've listened to some of the tracks and what's really bothering me is the mixing, not the sound of the instruments. I'll see if I can give you some more specific feedback when I have some free time, but one good thing to do (even if you have years of experience) is to compare the composition you're working on to other music done in a similar style. See if your mix feels like it's lacking something compared to the music you're using as reference, and search the web for ways to fix what you feel is missing. You'll learn a lot doing just that.

Do you mean some instruments louder than other than others ? Or maybe clipping because of the sound of the instrument being too high ? I'm really interested about what could make me improve, so if you would like to be more specific, that would be great ! And yes, I often listen to others' work, and I see that I should use more instruments as a bass instead of 1 or 2... I'll try that for my next songs ! :D

Finally done with the originals, for now ! I'll be moving on to remaster the old ones now :)

Back to the remasters !
This one is a bit different than the others. Even the original seems different compared to this one actually. Maybe the different soundfonts create that difference :derp:

The Final stage theme is done, after struggling for the piano and finding a better rain sound ! :/
Mеа:
I love the sound of rain, but this sample you've gotten sounds a bit... too close to the ground. I'm reminded more of a concrete floor than rain, though that sounds odd. It 'grounds' this atmospheric sort of sound you're going for with the pad-y choir. Maybe a more 'aerial' sort of rain might be nicer. And maybe also add some more swells in and out into it to make it a bit more artistic rather than just dumping it into the back. That quiet section came as a moment of relief.
Sounds of rain though, like.
