I think they call FL limited for other reasons... Its poor handling of resource heavy VSTi's, its insufficient midi editing features, its poor-quality audio engine, its primitive multi-track recording capabilities, it's entire UI being based on the…
i don't have any tips for you, but thought you might be interested in this 6 part analysis of the Zelda ocarina songs (including the warp songs):

It was definitely a rule that was adhered to more strictly during Bach's time, but still prevalent in the classical era and later. Most books i've read on tonal harmony clearly frown on parallel 5ths, even ones written in the 20th century.
I think…
now, THAT's what i was expecting, though I'd add footprints even if has become a bit cliche.
yes I would.
I like it. I agree with ray about the percussion being too dry. I feel that the orchestration of the section at :40 is a bit confusing. I don't know if it wants to big or small. The drums come in and it sounds like it's going to be epic, but all the…
any details on what you've edited?
I would just double all the note values... make the tempo mark dotted quarter. I actually think you made the right choice using a dotted note for the tempo indicator. groups of 3 dominate the piece and and that's what i think of as the pulse even th…
I clicked on this thinking it would be about Wayne Shorter

'why perfect?' does has implications beyond the medieval church usages:
I think this has something to do with history such as 'ancient' greek intonation theory, theories of intervals derived from a monochord and halving that string length (1…
by different system, i mean different room with different speakers. preferably, a treated room with high quality monitors. i realize this may not be possible for you (or most of us,) but you may have to just accept that you will not be able to do a…
yeah, it's really hard to answer without hearing what you have. it's pretty rare that i add reverb at all in mastering... that kind of thing should really be done during mixing. also, most pros will tell you not to mix and master on the same system.…
A note: Modes IX and XI (aeolian and ionian) were not in use in early church music. Modes IX-XII were an addition made by Glareanus in XVI century. The minor second was not named after mode III (phrygian). In fact we can find minor seconds in all th…
Let me put my 5 cents on this.
First, it's quite right that there were no such a thing like "major" or "minor" scales; in fact there were not even something like "scales" in those times. The whole issue is about the theory of music that was in disc…

I'd say your piece is coming along just fine.
Keep this to yourself but "I'd say your unfinished work is better than many finished cues posted here".
Now don't tell anyone I said this or I'll be in trouble.
