Sweet Snow - My first sad song!

[DomeNico Rotolo]

This is my first sad song! It talks about falling snow in winter...

Fun fact: my brother made the soundcloud song image! It's actually snowing to me and he is a pro at making photos

This is literally quite lovely. You've definitely accomplished the sad feeling in this one.
For a moment there, as the track started, I almost thought this was a Chill Fox song. Lol!
Concerning the pic, congrats to your brother on that snow image.
That winter pic reminds me of Christmas, in those snow countries.

Tip: A good volume raise, on the entire track, would solve that low volume problem in no time.
The pluck sound, seems to be the only instrument, that stands out loudly, in the entire track.

But all in all, you did a really good job, making and composing this one. Congrats.

Thanks a lot... about the first tip, I usually keep the volume low so it doesn't go clipping... I know my songs are low but I really don't know how to fix it without clipping! Got any ideas?
About the second tip, thanks I'll fix it when I do the v.2 ... I'm gonna spoiler to you that I will do an hardcore mode of this song so it will be fun

Okay, if possible, here's what to do.
Make a short youtube demo vid, about 50 secs long, showing the sweet snow track, playing in Lmms.
If you used the FX mixer, I need to see how far the volume level goes, in the Master FX channel.
That way, I might be able to figure out a way, to help you solve that clipping problem.

I don't mind checking out the project file, but this semi old PC I'm using, gives trouble sometimes.
And if somehow, you used ZynAddSubFX in that project, this PC will not be able to load it.

I used ZynAddSubFX so I think you won't be able to load the file... I'll upload the video asap

Oh, so you have all of the instruments, routed to the master FX mixer channel below, at the bottom left.

I'm watching the Master FX mixer channels meter at the bottom left of your screen.
And the green doesn't even reach halfway up, the meter gui
So you don't have to worry. You are safe. This is an easy fix.

Raise, or movethe Master FX mixer channels, volume dial/lever upward.
I suggest moving it up, close to halfway, eg. 70% or 80% or probably more.
Once the green meter colour, doesn't turn red, you are in the safe zone.

The loudest parts of your track, seems to be from 24 secs to 1:31 secs, so use that as a reference
when moving up the Master FX mixers volume.

After you have done the volume changes, if possible, make another shorter vid, from 20 secs to 1:34 secs.
So we can see the results.
