What do you think of my remixes?

[J.D]

I made a batch of video game remixes with FL Studio. Are they good?

I usually use the name Swordfyre for my internet name, by the way.

Weeell... I get the feeling that you didn't put any real effort into this yourself. You just downloaded a bunch of MIDI's, imported them into FL and choose appropriate synth patches. Amirite?
Apart from that, several of the files suffer from severe clipping. (the amplitude is higher than the soundcard can handle, so the tops of the waveform is clipped off) The MM song in the video is pretty clean in this aspect at least.
I know it's not what you want to hear, but back to the drawing board.

My remixes are based off of MIDIs, but I do everything myself. I base the sounds off of synths and slightly edit them. I change the tempo, add some notes, etc. And you're right, my songs do suffer clipping. I don't know how to fix that. I just have the crap demo version of FL Studio 7, but I don't know if that's the problem.

Oh, and does anyone know of a free MIDI composer besides crap Anvil Studio? I want to make my own compositions (even though I only know Bass clef - Trombone player)

Edit: I guess the "S" word isn't used around here. It just censors it to "crap".

Not to sound like a douche, but how can you claim that you do everything yourself when all you do is to add a note here and there and adjust a few parameters in a preset?
Try transcribing a song by hand, note by note, and then create synth patches from the ground up from the "init" preset. THEN you can rightfully say you did everything yourself.

And you're right, my songs do suffer clipping. I don't know how to fix that. I just have the crap demo version of FL Studio 7, but I don't know if that's the problem.

Use a so called "limiter" or "compressor" device. And even so you'll probably need to durn down the volume a bit. Look for youtube videos on mastering. Making music sound good is a whole science.

Yeah. That's a pretty silly wordfilter.
