I am actually surprised, not to mention dumbfounded at the amount of reviews I have been getting on Version 1 of Westminster Tune ~ Preuve de foi. I truly appreciate all the listens and reviews this piece has got. Thank you. ^_^
I did mention in my previous post that this was the VERY FIRST PIECE that I had ever submitted to Newgrounds. Back then, I had only but the basics of sequencing, I had up to Grade 8 music theory but it wasn't enough to make the best piece. Granted, I had the ideas, but not the means to make those ideas work at the time.
More than a year has passed since I finished Version 1 of Westminster Tune, and a lot of regulars at the Audio Portal have been so kind to give me pointers as to how to go about making my songs memorable and easy to listen to.
Cases in point: Westminster Tune (version 1 and version 2), Capital of Soot (version 1 and version 2) and Yearning (version 1 and version 2).
I can never say that I'll ever finish learning: once I've learned how to mix and master properly, something else will come up that I'll need to learn. So getting reviews on Westminster Tune is quite a humbling experience, to say the least, because those reviews are made on a piece where I had only begun to grapple with FL Studio. Some people were impressed, some weren't. I guess the same can be said where P-Bot suddenly decides to feature a piece of mine from last year with absolutely horrid mastering.
I really hope to make my pieces memorable, and I can safely say I'm just getting started.
