Wow, comes out swinging with grand brass and glory. N-o-i-c-e. Even without playing a minute of Chrono Cross (which I wish I could remedy) this tells an epic tale. I really like how you employed delicate instrumentation even in intense segments. Nice work!

This has been a really fun song to work with. Looking forward to hearing ya'll's takes on it.

I've been tinkering with the keyswitch functions of Eastwest, been hoping to get a midi keyboard in the near future. Yeah, I'm an FL user too. I'll take another look at finding that dang mod wheel again, maybe it will help. 

Appreciate that catch, I've been having a hard time making things more... organic. Maybe I'll get better at it this pass. It's probably all over.
I use Eastwest's Symphonic Orchestra, mostly. Got the strings, piano, and oboe from there, plus an Irish Low Whistle from Ra and the Bawu from Silk (both Eastwest.) Thanks for the listen!

Wow, the strings are bitter and piercing.  Perfect October music, just shy of 11 days.  I got no feedback for the articulation and production though.  Best to leave that to more trained ears.  But I love it.  (Edit 4000) This reminds me a lot of American McGee's Alice**.  BTW, Majora's Mask was a bit too challenging and jank for me, but I'd love to watch a Pro Let's Play of it someday... I LOVE the atmosphere of it (and this remix too!).  
Oh hey, I caught something robotic that u may want to fix.  3:03-3:13, there is some detach notes that are the  exact same velocity and timber.  Might want to alter those juuust a tad.  I wonder if there are other similar hiccups...might want to go over it with a fine comb.   
Also, what Orchestral Library(s) are you rolling with?

A remix of the Song of Healing that hopes to do a little healing. I named it for the classic imagery of a broken heart that, though outwardly ruined, still continues to beat, to live, to feel. 
The piece, like that heart, still needs loads of work. I'm particularly trying to work on the layering (of my gratuitous strings), making transitions smoother, and balancing the instruments (those darn violas). And of course, any other glaring compositional flaws that happen to stand out. Thanks for a listen.

Happy to help. Again, I lack knowledge of the genre style, so find what fits best for the intended approach.
 

The opening bell synth... It hurts so good. And the ambient sfx just hiding behind the song. But when the choirs came in, it really hit me. Wondrously ambient and hauntingly serene. I wonder if the piano has a bit too much reverb on it, though. Is that a flute that comes in at 3? I rather like how it's almost dry effect from lack of reverb contrasts with the wet sounding of everything else. The harp thing (can't tell if it's a sample or synth) sounds like it's straining a bit at the higher notes around 4:00-4:10, makes it sound a bit fuzzy, which is sad because it sounds real nice otherwise. 
Good luck, really enjoyed this piece.

A (really) late welcome to the composition scene! I'm not too familiar with the fine points of this kinda genre, but here goes.
On my first listen through, I felt like some of the transitions were a bit jarring as you shifted between the moods of the piece, such as it starting out with the ballad-esque intro followed by applause. That may be due to my lack of experienced appreciation for the style, though. I did enjoy the buildup from 0:28, and you used the brass quite nicely in that segment with the swells. There's a refreshing organic vibe in most of your piece.
The transition of 1:50 is a bit odd to me. You had a nice and energetic groove going up to it, then it seems to lose a bit of it's energy and fulness. Maybe I'm just missing the bass there. The vocal bit is just a tad shrill and loud, maybe try variating it's volume for that segment to keep it fresh (few measures at normal volume, a few lower, that kind of thing). Once it hits 2:35, though, it's really smooth and enjoyable. 
I feel like the transition of 3:25 to the vocals alone is a bit sudden. The part sounds good, but I think it needs something of a herald to the change, you know? A good cymbal crash with 2-4 beats of silence, for example, could punctuate the shift. Similar situation at 5:00, feels like it wants an exclamation point for the sudden silence. Try a few different effects, find your groove.
All in all, this is real entertaining song to listen to, nice work. Keep at it. I understand the feeling of working in a vacuum, hope other folks will be willing to give ya listen and some friendly direction. The best advice I can offer you is to keep mixing, share things here, and join the conversation. Comment and help other mixers, and hopefully they will reciprocate. Keep making this cool stuff.

Gonna take a stab at this one for Review.  I'm more open to altering the actual structure if it's necessary.  That includes instrumentation, effects and length if need be.  I'm motivated to get this one posted!!  Please help!  :3

OK, so the piano 'verb, Flute might be too dry, harp thing is weird at high notes (probably a Layered Texture which could be swapped out or culled via Timber).  Thanks for the positive vibes.  I'll see what @timaeus222 or @Liontamer or @Gario thinks nudge nudge, hint hint.  Tag tag.  

Yup, I think all of us here love Castlevania, Mega Man and Metroid.  Both PRC and MNP rounds explode with participation when they get picked.  Strangely, same with Parasite Eve.  I kinda picture you as a Parasite Eve person.  Call it a theory.  A GAME THEORY.  OW!  I just slapped myself.  Must be reflex.  Glad to see you showing interest in the Compo AND Metroid uWu.  Also, that profile pick is kick ass/sick/swag/take your pick.  Caveat: When I say "explode with participation", I mean 2-3 more people than normal minimum.  Not 20.  Didn't mean to exaggerate that much...

Everyone's free to use that midi. It's probably the best contribution I've made to VGM ever  Looking forward to all the Metroid pieces!

Some really great stuff this round, it was a treat to hear 'em all. See you next mission?

Update: Meddley's are fine for this round.  Don't need to worry about making it one inter-locked cohesive thing, just so long as a basic transition between tunes is in place, so there is no ear whiplash.  Also, Mixing and Mashing source tunes can work too, so long as the melodies are very recognizable (time-stamp em too!)!  We're throwing the baby out with the dish-water I guess, but the cost is worth it...  The Baby.  THE BABY.  EGAD Other M whyyyyy If only I could come up with this joke in one go.  But nooo,

I'm gonna remix Rundas' theme (The Midi of which, Souperion provided for me).  If it's OK with him, I can share the link to it here too (or you can ask him!).  I might also make a Rundas round at PRC or something...seeing as Souperion worked his butt off to transpose it.

Wow, getting two 1st place votes from 2 previous winners definitely helped me.  That's a whopping 12 points right there.  I think I'll be greedy and take the Pick this time..  Got something crazy planned for next round, and it's just as well that I get the BONUS vote for it.  Thanks for participating guys!  And nice entries all around : 3
