Hey,

i'm still rather inexperienced in regards to music composition, so i'm eagerly looking for some feedback:

https://soundcloud.com/user-342824515/mountain-path

It's a track for a mountain area in a side scrolling RPG.

Okey, first off the instruments aren't quite tuned. And you need some more practice. However, I think you have talent

I think you fit the mountain theme quite well

Thanks for the feedback!

Can you maybe iterate how i could tune them better? Smiley

i think he's referring to the first instrument you used. sounds like it has a subtle LFO modulating the pitch. Its an aesthetic choice, you needn't worry xD

nice piece -- but i think the chords could do with a change. also, the low end needs a bit more filling out!

I think it's quite interesting! There's some nice dynamics. Perhaps the low end could use a bit of refinement or variation. I also wouldn't be afraid to use some elements less. I try to avoid using two melodies at the same time unless they both really add something by being together, if that makes sense. Either way cool atmosphere and some fun melodies Smiley

Hai!
Since you've already gotten some great feedback on the composition, I'll try and give some feedback on the mix and mastering aspects.

High to mid-end
I would suggest wider stereo pan/separation on the lead flutes as they share very similar or same frequency ranges, which makes them collide a bit nasty into each other when they play in unison. A different solution would be changing one of the flutes to a different type, perhaps an alto, or playing the other flute at a different octave (if possible).

Low-end
I feel the bass line instrument collides with the bassy drum in the lower end, causing it to be a bit unclear and distracting. Perhaps dodge the bass line's freqs from the drum and cut the subsonic freqs from the drum as well.
The vibraphone-type instrument could also get some of its mid/low bass freqs reduced a bit to further clean up the mid/low-end.

These are just my suggestions on how to improve the presentation of the composition from my point of view.
Overall I think it sounds great for someone who is a bit novice with music production, not bad at all. Keep it up!  My Word!

I currently don't have my studio monitors setup and only took a few listen's through reference my cans.
Have a MAD day!
