Thanks for the advice Fat Panda I agree with you about it being boring though, I'm going to remake it without a reference, I used this song as a reference.

I don't know the original song but i liked Tori No Uta, sounds like a happy theme xD, fits great on a RPG, i like the sounds that you used, good job.
The trance remix turns me on, i want to dance now! xD, i dont know much about this type of music but it sounds great, the only critic: Its a bit short.
Last Regrets: I don't know the original song, but the cover sounds great. I like the sounds that you used, sounds peaceful, its a great song, you have talent to do music, i want to listen some new originals from you.

Good job, congrats =)
PS: Sorry about my bad english...
Thanks for listening and commenting =) the trance remix is short, I know, and it didn't help that I sped the tempo up for it as well xD Still working on a battle theme for my rpg so I will post that as soon as I finish it (having trouble creating a melody for it heh)
Your little chip-tune sounds amazing. I'd love to hear it with some bass and percussion. =D
Whoa! The theme to Air! D= It's beautifully done! I loved that anime, and you've done it a great respect. ^^ I want to go watch it again, lol. XD
Wow! The Danko song remixed! It's absolutely brilliant! XD And now I want to go watch Clannad again, lol. Very nicely done - love it! ^^ If you were to add some bass and percussion to it, it'd make an even better remix!
And of course, another Clannad song. =D "Last Regrets" is beautiful, and you've done a splendid job with it. ^^
By the way, welcome back! I haven't seen you in forever! D=

First thanks for coming and it's good to be back =P been distracted lately.
Yeah I'm still working on my chiptune and I'm horrible with bass and percussion I didn't think my cover for Tori no Uta was that good Glad you like my trance remix yeah totally agree with your suggestion, I'll work on that but may take a while
Last Regrets is from Kanon btw not Clannad xD and thanks so much

Oops, I meant Kanon. D= I kept seeing "Clannad" everywhere and put it in there again. ><
Yeah, I know how difficult it is to get things to sound right, and adding bass and percussion is usually a very determining factor as to whether or not the song is worth listening to. (So don't be discouraged if it doesn't sound right at first, it does take a lot of practice.) ^^
Some random (hopefully) constructive criticism; I may be wrong in saying this, but it sounds like you haven't "panned" any of the instruments at all. Which makes everything sound like every instrument is competing for the spotlight. Try spreading out the instruments a little bit more. That way the drums will sound better
Also the "choir-like" synth/instrument is that general midi? It sounds a little bit out of place together with that high quality synth. I've come to quite like the song ever since you sent me that original to put a string quartet to, even though I have no clue where it's from. It's a catchy tune
Keep on composin' !

Like I said an attempt so tell me how it turned out =) personally I think it's horrid.
I definitely like the idea of the addition of the drums, great beat too, but I would have to agree with Stern in relation to the drums "competing with the other instruments for the spotlight". Sometimes they overlap just a little, but otherwise I love it. =D
Hallo Stern, XMO and thanks for the critique guys =)

That is true, I haven't "panned" (not sure what you mean by that though), I literally slapped the drums over it. Although I learned something with FL Studio and using the song mode for this.

The synth choir is from the same VST as the other synth, hadn't really noticed that hmm

Basically, when two instruments (drums and synth, for example) sound like they are both fighting for the spotlight, they sound as if they are overlapping each other. One is stronger at one moment, and then quieter at another moment, and then back and forth like that. (Overlapping sound; though I'm sure that is just my own word for it and there is likely a technical term for what I'm describing.) Panning the audio properly will solve the issue. And there is no better way for me to describe "panning" than to link you to Wikipedia (it's much easier, and there is more information there than what I can remember on the subject). Check it out.
Tried to pan it, also removed lots of the randomness in the drums and made it one loop that fits the song the most out of what I used.
Version 2 is awesome! The incorporation of the drums really gave it some "umph" and brought a sense of nostalgia~ You did a great job with the covers, but I'm really waiting for more of your original compositions!

That's fine, don't rush it! I'm sure it's tedious and requires a lot more than putting a pencil to paper like I do.

New Battle Theme 2 has a unique tune, and a very cool one at that. I definitely enjoyed listening to this one. =D
Boss Baddle Tweme has an interesting intro, but gets into a really nice beat shortly after. Sounds really cool actually. ^^ I think a little more hardcore sounding would make it match better to the idea of a Boss Theme, but it could work as it is depending on the type of boss. =]
Boss Battle Theme 2 is a lot more quiet than the other version; had to turn my volume up pretty high to even hear it. However, it is much better than the first one, in my opinion. The violin/cello combination versus the bell sounds better because the percussion matches better and is more balanced than the much louder bell sound. =] You could totally add a short transition in there somewhere, with loud guitars and such, lol. Sounds great. ^^

Hello =) Glad you enjoyed them X-M-O. My idea for the boss theme was not for it to be so much hardcore but a casual boss more like. Also for the second version I had to lower the volume extremely low because the other instruments covered the cello and violin so much that you could literally not hear them even though I had them set to max.
