Kirby mixes from a newbie

[Dynablade]

Hello! This is my first post. I'm trying to be a remixer, mainly of Kirby tunes since it's my favorite console series.

The problem is that I'm still relatively new to FL. For example, one of these mixes was constructed entirely on one pattern The main problem with my own mixes is that I like to work with things like piano, choir and strings in an attempt to make instrumentals. However, nearly all of the instruments - especially the choir - sound a bit "fake" and unnatural. The end result sounds more like a souped up MIDI.

Here are two WIPs:

"Cloud 9" ('Above the Clouds/Butter Buildings' from K64): http://www.divshare.com/download/2263456-c28

"Tusk's Castle" (Tusk from KI Gold mixed with Coo's Theme and Dark Castle from Kirby's Dreamland 2): http://www.divshare.com/download/2379476-717

Any advice on how to make them sound better would be greatly appreciated.

Heyhey ;D Kinda catchy this. Doesn't sound that bad to me, even though it sounds like a PSX or the likes. I think it would help most to simply get better sounds to begin with. Especially the drum samples sounded kinda bad, even though it added a nice touch tbh.
