I'm Kyle, amateur mixer. My work is based mostly on games, though I dip in and out of originality as a break every so often. Mixing is my primary way to waste time, but I write plenty of fan fiction as well, which is available at the website below. :-)

Nicely adapted, but I can't help being amused at some previous reviewers' misconceptions. :P
This is nicely done, a bit midi for my taste but, then again, that's pretty much a taste thing. I also tend to like mixes that move a little farther away from the original, but again, a matter of taste.
Good job!
And for anyone reviewing this after me, Kefka is from FF6, which in the United States was called FF3. :)

Okay. The beginning sounds kind of muddly, but I like the guitar stuff -- that's totally Slayer isn't it? lol I love Slayer
Anyway
One suggestion I've got for you: the organ is too high, and in some places the bass is too low. Overall, the song really didn't shout out to me, didn't have the intensity the original song did.
Still, not bad, not bad.

Honestly man, you put me to shame with every new mix you make.
Keep it up!

Wish I had that kind of talent, I really do.
But to both of you, I would LOVE to do a collab project with one or both of you one of these days -- that is, if my work is up to snuff.
Nicely done, loving it, 5'd, will DL as soon as I get home, all that jazz. :)

"Usually I don't listen to goth music"
But at your request, I couldn't resist a listen. If you're using something like FL, I definitely WANT the drum samples. :P
I like this a lot. Brilliant, dark feel to it. Little bit repetitive, but with enough variation that it doesn't show much. This would be a great musical overtone to -- Oooh! It just changed! And I like the change! Around 2:30, listening as I review -- so, I take that back. Beautifully dark and captivating... Not the type of stuff I normally listen to but I can see a lot of beauty in it. I wish I were a Flash artist so I could come up wtih something for it.
5/5, and a 9/10, well deserved. Keep listening to my stuff, and when I have time I may just check out more of yours.
Dl'ed!

Very, VERY nice. I am quite impressed. VEry good ambient feel, but my one real critique is that (to be fair, I don't know the song) it sounded very repetitive. Try and give your next mix some variation.
But overall, brilliant job, man!
9/10, 4/5

Never heard the song, but I like it a lot! It's a little messy, though. Try and clean it up a bit for your next one. The guitar stuff is great thought! 9/10. 4/5

You nailed the melody parts and you have some nice layering in there. And I like the bass part.
Future work: try adding more layers, and try not to push the bass too low to the point where the notes aren't recognizable. Play with pitch (higher, lower, yadda yadda).
But very nicely done, friend. :)

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind for the next one.

"Very nice, Lord Dan. :)"
I give this a 9/10 and a 4/5 because that's a HELL of a long way you've come with FL since last we spoke. I like this a lot! And you'll have to tell me what samples you used, I'm eager to have these sorts of effects around my stuff - sure I can do certain things, but I have yet to capture the ambiance that yours has.
Meanwhile, next steps: you need more volume on your guitar samples. The background is excellent, but the main melody needs to ring out a bit more.
Nicely done, my friend. And don't give people false hope about my mix, just in case it's a flop. :P
Author's Response:
Your mix will be great.
Yes I am a fast learner, and I'll let you know the samples I use when I speak with you next. I was wondering about the volume, but to be honest, if I had the main melody up any higher, you couldn't hear the background melody, which happens to be my favourite part.
