Luna's Journey + Twilight Sparkle vs Santa Claus

[Bendelsohn]

Hi! I'm a new brony artist, and new to song writing in general. I've made 2 songs so far, and some feedback would be nice.

They are both piano and bass songs. I would make electronic music, but synthesizing is hard. Tell me what you think!

They're not bad. Got the air of video game music about them. There is one or two things though:

Structurally, they're all over the place a little bit. It might be helpful to think about the different sections and then plan it out a little.
Another thing is reverb. Find a tutorial on how to add it in whatever software you're using, because even having just a bit makes the mix sound more professional. It's especially important with piano, because that's a hard instrument to sequence realistically.

Also, good luck, welcome to MLR, and Merry Christmas.

Underpony had some good advice. Piano and drums is an unusual combination and its difficult to have midi instruments not scream that they are MIDI w/o additional effects or additions. Reverb would help and most importantly adding additional backings such as synths or strings. I personally find that just naming music "bronie music" really doesn't cut it if there's nothing to bring back images of the show. there's a plethera of show dialogue you could add in the right places if you want to make it more relevant.

Good starters but they need more. Welcome to the board!!

Not too much to add here, Underpony and DJ-Pon3 basically wrote exactly what i was going to write.
I would like too se more of a body. Right now, it is sounding pretty cool, but also rather empty. Adding a couple of strings or pads would probably help it out.

Nontheless, it isn't bad. Keep it up!
