I downloaded FL 10 2 days ago and after messing with the program, i decided to compose something today xP
Thoughts??
Thoughts??
I definitely hear potential!
I think it's already solid enough but maybe you could still play around with it to try and get a more interesting result, like changing the octaves, altering the emphasis and such...
My advice for now would be to soften the bridges if you understand what I mean. I feel the higher-pitched piano notes could need a softer introduction. Every instrument drops a bit too quickly at the end also.
But that's how I would prefer the piece so don't take that advice too seriously if it doesn't meet your tastes ;)

I don't use FL personally, but I know there's a MIDI channel for sustain pedal so theoretically you could make the piano's "pedal" work in FL (although I've never used the sustain pedal MIDI channel without using an actual keyboard pedal to get the input, I don't know how you add that parameter purely through the mouse on the note lanes or devices)
A simple way is to just elongate the notes so they touch, and of course there's always the ADSR envelope. Usually playing with those parameters, like increasing sustain, decay and release time, gives you a nicer legato.
As for the composition I think it's nice, it's simple but it sounds good, so nice job. :>
...First composition? it is not the best but pretty sure this is not bad at all and for a "first composition" is very well made, keep composing, is the best way to improve (or at least that is what I though).
Nice!
The music, in comparison to the picture, fits surprisingly well. I do like the ritard (or the slowing of the tempo), in the beginning and the end of the piece. That, including the small, brief surges in volume with the strings.
You most assuredly have a lot of potential. And for a first song, it is good!
A couple of things that I would recommend:
It sounds as if you have everything panned to the center. (Or at least all of the strings). Try and picture an orchestra. Each instrument holds their very own section or position in the ensemble. They aren't all huddled together in one primary spot. Using your pan will help ... open up the overall sound (if that makes any sense). It will make it sound less muddy.
Also, with the melody, you could possibly add some variation. Add a harmony to go along with the main melody in the piano, or add a very low, sound encompassing bassline, to help the piece swell...
Experiment with different ways to use each instrument to its fullest potential!
Everything that NewBlack said was great as well.
Keep up the good work!

I love how the strings/pad's volume elevated at the end, and the tempo change gives you another +1. I also write with FL Studio 10 and I know exactly what you're using, and how you're using it. However, Use the mixer. It is your best friend out of the whole program. Oh and one more thing: Would you care to write a collab song with me? :3
