not bad for being new. first of all, if you want to get into producing, do not start out with dubstep-like songs. (overusing bass, basically). you should really try and experiment and find out what kind of sound YOU want to make.
when mixing any type of electronic song, you always want to cut off the bass frequencies on your melodic/lead synths, and raise the high end freq.
for your bass, make sure that the kick drum / bass isn't using the same freq. You got to balance it out.
I can't really critqiue melodic wise because that's where creativity comes in. Just keep doing trial and error and eventually you'll find the spotlight.
Thanks for that review and critique! I found it very helpful. I employ the use of compression 'ducking' already, but that's a good point about also watching the higher frequencies as well! I'm considering just EQing everything as I go along, sampling the result, and then constructing songs from the samples.
I've been trying to be careful of the amount of effects i've been using and focusing onclarity of sound. But i may just add a bit of verb to fill the sound a bit more. Thanks man! :3
It's been a while since I've stumbled upon your music. I've never really excelled in the classical genre, so I envy the skill that you have to create these melodies!
Everything was written beautifully. The transitions were well done, the movement of each peace flowed nicely, and every instrument was there when it needed to be.
My only complaint is that there was no memorable theme for all of the songs. All of them kinda felt like separate songs, you know what I mean?
You should check out Jerry Martin's music in Simcity 3000. There's about 12 tracks and all of them as at least one main melody that is played in almost every song.
If you take what JM does with his soundtracks and use the way he makes themes ( not exactly like him but you get the point), then your music will become ten times better. It's already good now, don't worry about that. lol
Keep up the amazing work man. I rarely review classical music so sorry if whatever I say doesn't make sense!
"It's been a while since I've stumbled upon your music. I've never really excelled in the classical genre, so I envy the skill that you have to create these melodies!"
Thanks! Although these aren't actually my melodies. This is a medley, remixing different tunes of the game Monster Hunter Tri. Some of the melodies and background chords are mine, but otherwise the composition is all from Monster Hunter :P. My latest original orchestral track is Sanctuary, which I submitted towards the beginning of the year. This year so far has been pretty much a remix-year for me, haha.

Awesome, thanks for pointing that out!

Aha yes I see exactly what you mean. The thing about that is that these themes are around a minute long each and I didn't want to include a main theme in each one when each theme is so small. The reason they're sounding so separate from each other is because strictly speaking they are separate themes in-game. I tried as hard as I could to unite everything together but yeah, I agree that having a main melody in each theme would definitely tie everything together a lot better.

Naw man it makes tonnes of sense. Thanks a lot for leaving a review, I very much appreciate it :3.
Very cool stuff dude. I only recommend fixing up the mid-higher frequencies. It just doesn't sound "Full" enough, if you know what I mean. It could be a lack of a sub bass, not really sure.
Glad to see that you're getting more serious with your music! I also have a soundcloud. soundcloud.com/byca
follow for follow? haha. can't wait for your next tune!
