i like your description of how the song was made. given that, its still a bit underwhelming and simplistic in most other aspects. if you replaced your general-midi sounds with a more engaging soundset that would be a great next step.

i think the sounds are okay, but the composition needs work. it starts out with an engaging theme, and then that theme is just dropped. no development at all. next step is to develop the opening theme in the b section of the tune. that be about it.

Thanks for the feedback! The problem I ran into (at least with the first part of the song) is that extra effects sounded kinda crappy. I tried some vibrato on the first melody that comes in, delay on the second, etc. but I took them off because they made the song sound worse instead of better. There is a little bit of a chorus effect on the second melody that comes in, but that's about it. Also, I have no clue how to tweak piano sounds (I used the mda Piano VST). Any suggestions on how to improve the sounds without making them come off like overproduced trance?
I never really thought about developing the opening theme in the second part of the song, but maybe I should. My songs often wind up sounding like three one-minute songs mooshed together to create one three-minute song. I'm not sure whether that's a problem or just the way I write, but it's something that I probably should think about. Thankee kindly.
