I thought most of your music was fantastic! What stuck out to my ear was the production value of the tracks - which I felt could be improved. There are some really nice elements but some points of your demo need remixing or better production to make the music sound more realistic, have more impact and give it that polished sheen. Some very creative stuff though and I enjoyed it!

Thanks so much! What can I do to improve the production value? Was there something in particular that really stuck out to you?

Very nice, indeed.

The first part that stuck out to me was some of the repeated notes. Although you have nice samples, repeated notes with the same inflections can still stick out and make the listener aware that they're listening to samples instead of actual musicians playing. This is the nature of the beast when working with samples though and to a degree, it will always happen. But I strive, and am still striving, to fully eliminate all MIDI-tastic elements from my pieces. It's a long battle. I also felt some of the mixes were off and some instruments, mainly the lead instruments could have used a bit more processing or effects put on them. But take into consideration that I'm following up on listening that I did several days ago - and sorry for the delay!

No problem! I'll look into that - maybe it's time to update a few libraries...Again, thank you for your input!

@siavash: Thank you! Sorry, i didn't reply earlier, totally missed your post.
