First mix. FFVII Rotting Pizza

[Aster]

Not an actual compositional remix but an exercise in production to get used to channel editing and EQ'ing.

Used Sylenth, EZdrummer vintage and amplitube 3 through reaper.

Any mixing/production errors made?

Thanks

When the source has better production than your mix, you might be doing something wrong.

The sample quality is really poor, especially the violin is downright painful. Everything is also really quiet, dry and upfront. It sounds like you just imported the midi, applied some samples, and exported it as mp3 without really doing anything else with it.

Is there any decent professional violin samples or fonts available?

(price no issue)

To a degree, what you describe is what I did, aside from actually playing guitar parts.

The quiet mix is kind of purposeful, I hate over-compressed volume pumped mixes.
