Nice work man! great song structure and I like the mix, only thing I would do is make the snare a bit louder it sounds a bit low compared to the bass drum.
Sucks that your PC kept crashing, what DAW are you using? is it a 32- or 64-bit host?
Switching to 64-bit really helped me out a lot with my RAM issues.

This is a slow-paced emotional/redemptive cinematic track with distorted guitars and piano mixed in. I guess its kinda got an oriental feel to it. Though the composition is pretty simple, it was a huge challenge to mix it mainly because I was trying to find the right balance between the distorted guitar and the orchestral instruments.

Thanks. Yeah the snare and drums in general were supposed to be a bit quiet and in the background mainly because they were too MIDI sounding.. I extensively use 64bit, have been since FL 11 came out. But once I roll with some heavy sample libraries, I get so many underruns either because either something is wrong with my computer or my inbuilt sound card is pathetic. :/
Very hopeful and "Epic" as they say. Great progression and very intense buildups. Really great stuff!
DL2Electron responds:
Thanks man. Your music is inspiring too!
I like it. I can't really hear the oriental side much, but I like the guitars, piano, and orchestra combo. It has a nice buildup, and yeah, good job!
DL2Electron responds:
Thanks man! I'm still trying to find my own style so just experimenting around. Anyway, glad you liked it.
