Pretty
But at 1:03 on that roll, you should of added some more percussion. I mean you could of made a really really powerful statement and you could of done so much more with the percussion there. I think that the music is nice but i think that the percussion is really lacking :\ and i dont feel like it adds up to the intensity of the rest of the piece. But i do like this alot.
I agree the percussion is lacking. I actually wanted that roll to be longer, and im pretty sure it WAS longer at some point and I think i ended up cutting it down by accident and then not noticing when going over the song in the mastering process. At any rate, i'm not too good with orchestral style percussion, it's something i'm picking up slowly, I don't do much music in this particular style so it's a new experience for me, I want to get better at it though. I'd love to get some of the more explosive orchestral setups you hear by guys such as Danny Elfman or Clint Mansell, or especially some of the stuff composed by the guys at ImmediateMusic.
Anyways, I appreciate the constructive feedback Lightningpichu, thanks!

Now THAT was Epic.
I don't usually listen to classical/ambient stuff, but seriously dude, loved it. Buildup was real good. Not sure about the type of distortion on the electric guitar but oh well. Sounds were brilliant. Also, loved the flute.
Thanks for the compliments Unrl, also I agree with you on the distortion choice and it's actually something that has been sticking out to me lately the more I listen to the ending of this piece. I should've used a less fuzzed distortion and perhaps something a bit darker and more crunchy. Ah well!

This is FL?
How did you do this in FL Studio? The instruments are fantastic, the mastering is so precise, and... well, I guess I'm not using the program to it's full potential. The song was awesome. That's all that needs to be said.
One question kept going through my head, though... what instrument is the guitar? Is that a real guitar recording or is it a VST?
All of my songs use real guitar John. I play a lot of my instruments live (Bass, Guitar, Drums, Flute at the end ;)).
Keep in mind that what you are hearing is all done with VST's that dont come with FL Studio, you could get these same results in any DAW that supports VST's really. The FL Studio stock instruments are merely "OK", and really only suitable for techno/trance music.
Thanks for the review :)

Love it
This is one of my favorite of your songs. It feels like it should open an epic medieval movie or something. My songs are still better, but you got chops kid!
Great!
A nice emotional piece of music this is, starts of smooth and builds its way upwards nicely, has a tragic feel to it. Great vibe, good strings, and it really grows towards the ending, a pretty popmous finalé composed in it, keep up the great work!
