Mima's Theme ~ A Remix and Request For Advice

Hi everyone, my first post here. :)

I have just used LMMS to produce this, and I'm pretty pleased with it. :P

https://soundcloud.com/superspit/mimas-theme

However, I was wondering how I can improve. To me, the instruments still sound really meh (although a lot better than the music scribing software I use), but I am unsure if this is down to the samples or just me. :D

What do you guys think?

Many thanks for time,

RS

I think that Soundcloud is currently experiencing problems. Maybe try again in a hour or so?

Very good composition, you must be using SoundFonts? I suggest SquidFontOrchestral, I know one guy is very fond of the violin or viola in Arachno SoundFont. I don't think the sounds sounded bad at all :) You could put some reverb (plate reverb is good) on the short detache violins perhaps :)

I wasn't expecting to find 2hu songs here, nice :)

Some feedback:

You could put some thunder sounds in the first 20 seconds of music.

I think that you should work more on the mastering of your song to avoid letting an instrument's volume suppress the others.

No drums? :(

Also you could try to use another trumpet soundfont or apply equalizers to get a better sound.

I don't know its the samples, but although I like the song, some sounds sound a bit muffled.

There is an equalizer in the plug-ins. You could try that.
