This is a really beautiful composition. If you someday end up re-recording this mistake-free and with a decent mic, send me a message to my inbox.
I'd change the left channel to stereo with a free program if I were you.
Cheers.

New to FL Studio, it seems. That's okay, you'll get better with time. Follow Sealander's advice.
Adding to that, do the following. Link all your instruments to separate Mixer channels. Now, look at the volume/decibels bar when the instrument is being played. Make sure NONE of the instruments go higher than 0dB. Your guitar's (and please stay away from Slayer, it's no good) volume here is too high as you'll notice. It gets rather irritating.
Keep practicing and you'll get better with time :)

As one friend once told me, "there are no errors in music". It's all part of it, so don't worry about the ones you made too much. It's a live rendition after all. I find myself having to record over 100 times everytime I play something, and I still can't get it right haha.
You wanna know why this will never reach top 5 in the audio portal? -Because it's beyond good-, and people here don't give credit to good artists.
The only thing I didn't like about the song was the repetition, it got on my nerves. Doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing since there was a point to it. It just means I'm ADD and can't focus ;)
Great dynamics, great emotional expression, great everything. Keep it up. I'm not part of the RRC but I saw this song on it and decided to check it out.
I hope you feel like shit more often because this is great stuff. I kid, I kid.
Cheers.

I really can't give you crit on this since there's absolutely nothing wrong with it to me. This is truly a masterpiece and the time you spent on it is more than evident. Your patience is worthy of admiration, I don't think I'd be able to work on a song for this long. This song would fit the Wind Waker game just fine, it's -that good-.
Great work. Added you to my favorite artists.

Thanks for the comment! :)
Just like how some people can spend close to a year creating a flash movie, it's probably the same for people who love music when they create a song. You love doing it, and that's why you're doing it. :P People do naturally tend to stay focused on things they love doing.

This is very simple but it's still effective. I wish it were longer though.

I love the mellow sound of this track. Your samples are really good, wish I had some like those.
I can't really give you any crit since there's not much that's wrong with this. The lower end of the guitar's sound doesn't sound good though.
I have a question. How exactly do you setup your guitar/computer connection? I know you listed it on your description, but could you elaborate on that please? I just use plug in my guitar to my amp, my amp to my Lexicon box, and the box to the computer with a USB. I don't use an amp simulator.

Well, the good news is that you can have everything for free ;)
Percussion is made with Yellow Tools Independence Free, drums with Addictive Drums demo (only kick, snare, hi-hats and one crash) and for toms there is Kontakt Player Free. Bass with UVI Workstatio which is also free.
My guitar setup is much cheaper than yours, I have a fairly cheap preamp and from that I go directly in my soundcard. From there I put in my DAW all the rest of stuff (effects, amp, cabinet simulator).

Your voice is GORGEOUS. It's very Dido-ish and soft.
I wanna collab with you sometime. Your voice is just...inspiring.
Good track arrangement too.

Pretty clean recording and nice strings. I like the mixing job on this, everything feels so subtle.
Your acoustic work is really nice.
Author's Response:
Thanks man, I don't usually record with my acoustic, but sounds fine. I may make more stuff like this. About the strings, well, I'm still a noob at FL so.. It could have been better.
