<remix> <pony> The Truth (Rainbow Factory Orchestral Remix)

[EverfreeLuna]

This is my first attempt at making any music. I have only a basic understanding of music theory so there are bound to be mistakes here

I would love feedback of any kind here! I'm trying to learn as much about creating music as possible.

Not a bad start at all!

I suggest you do brush up on theory if you're going to do orchestral...or any music for that matter! You don't always have to follow it, but it's good to know.
And do some research on Orchestration, that stuff's important.
For the piece itself, it had a nice transition from the beginning to the main chord progression of Rainbow Factory. Considering it's for String Orchestra, look up the word 'counterpoint' and then utilise that idea throughout.
Also, possibly find better string sounds, or at least ones with round robins. The samples you have are nice enough, but the repeated notes are obviously fake. Round robins eliminate this fakeness, so if you can get samples with them, that'd be great!

A fantastic start!

Thank you very much! I will look more into music theory and string orchestration.

Regarding the samples I used... I was using a free orchestral sample library I found in a sticky on this forums. I don't know of any other string library that uses round robin besides LASS and Symphobia. Both of those being way out of my price range
