<Original><Electronic><Instrumental> A Night in Everfree

Just recently "finished" this up, any feedback would be great. It's in the key of C minor, if that makes a difference to anyone. I had a hard time naming it (It's original file was Yup.wav), but I decided the darkness somewhat fit the everfree setting.

Composition is decent, aside from the lack of a part to "focus" on - a chorus or a drop - and thus a song that doesn't really lead anywhere. Also some overdone clichés such as pitch shifting the whole mix and messing with the tempo at random times. They might've worked if done scarcely.

Has a dark, wicked kind of feel, I like that.

The pluck at 1:38 sounds too loud compared to the rest of the song, and the song overall is pretty overcompressed; perhaps you left the FL limiter in it's default setting? Try lowering the volume in your computer and lowering the gain until it sounds clear. (there should be a tutorial for this.)

Instead of adding a chorus, I tried to build on individual themes, and didn't really add one. Looking back, I have no idea where I could have put a chorus either. I avoided a drop because that screams dubstep, and I have no idea how to make a decent drop.

I actually only pitch shifted once(Up and then down), along with about one second at the end of the song. As for the tempo, I tried using it to keep a feel of unease.

For the compression, I think I fell into modern music's pit of doom sort to speak. I was attempting to make the audio louder, thus ending in compression.
Thanks for the feedback!
