Hey, thanks so much for the in-depth feedback! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it and noticed the spacial mixing attempts, and it seems to have paid off.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed. I do agree, I'm still trying to learn how to take themes and have the music solely reflect them without exposition, but for now this is very much a learning experience.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for the positivity!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed!

Oooooo yeah I see what you mean. That was one of the things I was worried about with both my tracks is that the chord progressions never really vary. But since there was a short time-frame I decided to run with it and see what I could do within those limitations haha. Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you liked it!

Lowkey that was kind of the vibe I was trying to go for haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the compliments (it was my first time trying to compose something in 3/4 so I'm glad it was received well haha)

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I see what you mean with the string rise. It was kinda hard to write that in with just MIDI but without it, it felt too blank in the transition spot. But I hear you! If I had more time I definitely would've tried to iron that spot out more as it's supposed to be another climax of that piece.

Hey, thanks for the feedback and compliments! Yeah, it's kind of crazy to see the capabilities of virtual plugins and stuff for mixing. All the stems and everything are all MIDI written and mixed all within the same project. I didn't feel like I had the time to export proper stems so I kinda just winged it. 

I guess if I were to throw some tips out there, the biggest thing for me is visualizing every sound as a puzzle piece. Every sound has it's own unique domain within a mix (STRICTLY MY OPINION BTW, MIXING IS SUBJECTIVE HAHA) so eq-ing is a huge part of how I mix. It allows me to control the slots in which each piece fits if that makes sense. Another thing is volume levels. Everyone likes to talk about eq, compression, filters, reverb, etc. that one of the most fundamental parts gets overlooked: volume. Figuring out what volume levels each stem belongs in goes SUCH a long way in my opinion. Hope that some of this helps!
