Pretty solid orchestration! You had some moving harmonic lines instead of just blocky chords, especially in track 1. Track 2 felt a bit too quantized with the 3/4 time chords on the piano. You can definitely include a new section with new chords or different instruments to bring more variety and intrigue in track 2.

This is great work for your first time. It’s very easy to get stuck making music with blocks, especially in FL, but your phrasing already feels natural and there’s a clear sense of movement.

As the others mentioned, the arrangement could have been filled out a little more, but the instruments you picked fit together very well and sounded cohesive. My main note would be to experiment more with expression and dynamics so the instruments feel more natural, and that’ll probably come pretty quickly as you keep writing and experimenting. Some bass would also have helped fill out the bottom, which feels a little empty right now.

I wish there were a little more story behind the theme, but for what you were going for (fantasy adventure) you got it down, and it was very easy listening. Good work, and keep creating.

Great for you first try! Got a a Fable-esque vibe so got the fantasy adventure theme down. 

I would try and explore a some other VSTs. There are some great free ones, especially strings, that would add a more authentic flare. Also, would work a bit on the flow. There were some abrupt changes and sudden stops that felt a bit uncomfortable.

Enjoyed this. Great effort and keep at it!

Lovely tracks ! It is so good for a first time making music.

In order to improve these tracks, you could add a bit more instruments to widen the harmony. I can picture really well a big cluster of strings and horns accompagnying the melody during the climax.

Congrats again for finishing the jam !
