    The hiss in the flute recording is the only thing holding this track back. However, I’m extremely grateful to anon for covering “Heavenly Flight”. That shit inevitably brings a tear to my eye, I hope someone plays that at my funeral. So yeah, I agree, Dragon Quest is sad.

    Something about the way this is recorded/mastered is off, checking the soundwave it’s not even that loud, but I still hear mad clipping as if it were? Maybe the gain on your mic was excessively loud when you recorded, it would be worth to check that out. Arrangement is simple but effective, the combination of woodwinds and harp is something that should work with no issues and for the most part it’s done well, I like the reverb you chose that makes it sound like it’s happening in a church, although the mixing could use a few tweaks, mainly the quietness of the harp and the loudness of the woodwind in the direct recording. Very cool arrangement, would work well in an actual videogame.

    I like the low flute, but feel like some fuzziness is coming through on its microphone that is decently audible – it may just be too loud in the mix against the backing guitar? Flute balances back better when the harp comes in, and the harp is balanced really well. The immediate volume change at 1:37 is a bit distracting, the strings and horns come in a bit hard, but then it rebalances pretty well. This was overall very beautiful anon, I think just some better balancing – especially with the flute mic, could really kick this up a notch
