WUT!? I WAS BORED THIS WEEKEND, DON'T BOTHER ME.

Made in FL Studio 10, an old MIDI keyboard, and a couple hours of free time.
Not as good as my other composition, "discord's theme", but whatever.

I tried to capture Rarity's more extravagant and passionate side. Whatever that means.

P.S. This song was somewhat based on Piazzolla Tango.

Also, you know that other, way more awesome Nomnom guy who shows up on EQD sometimes? THAT PERSON IS NOT ME.

First of all, I think from a rhythmical standpoint, there was definitely too much emphasis on upbeats. This would definitely be clearer and better-paced if there was something to indicate at least the beginning of each measure, so they don't blur together.

Secondly, your percussion section is WAY TOO QUIET. I can hear a few things, but they aren't doing much turned down so low!

Oh hooray some feedback!
About the strange upbeat things, well... I guess I suck at tango-y music then. But yeah, I just realized there are no real accented notes in the measures (which SHOULD be prominent, me derp), and the patterns do get washed out. Massive mistake on my account.
As for percussion... the thing is, piazzolla (which this is kinda-sorta based on) doesn't really focus too much on percussion, but I threw it in there anyways lol. I turned it down to try to keep it in the same style, but, alas, ASIO4ALL is a double-edged sword and I've had problems with it SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME. Rendering throws volumes out of whack for me, which made it even worse than it was.
I added a few of my own weird twists in the music style (i.e. percussion, saxophone, french horn (which you can't really hear)), so I really had very little guidelines as to which parts to emphasize and whatnot; the whole process got really messy and suckish, so I really only spent a few hours on it before I called it quits.
