The reason for your link not being available is that you have less than 25 post.  This is to stop spam links being posted all new forum members are equally restricted.
 
Best way to up the PC is to listen to other posts and comment or visit the CH forum and share in the verbal madness there.
 
Your tune is quite pleasant though some here will struggle with the length.  It would most likely work under a film or video as it is.  It does sound quite thin here though.
 
Keep em coming.  Thanks for sharing.

Very creative writing.  Just keep doing it.  You may want to subsitute some Dimension orchestral sounds to get a warmer fuller sound on the strings.  
 
Once you really get into X3, you should use Melodyne to convert your electric guitar part to midi and then add a midi instrument which doubles your guitar using a different tone and then blend them.  
 
I can't tell what kind of gear/system you are using based on your non-signature.  
 
All the best.

Thanks guys.
How do you mean thin?
Other than Dim Pro, What plugins would you recommend for strings? Great idea for the use of Melodyne!

Sounds very reasonably good and builds nicely. Try some EQ on this between 469-579 and see if that helps out any.
Interesting textures and instrumentation. Nice tune! Also, welcome to the forum. Be sure to listen and comment on others work even if it is to just say you enjoyed what you heard.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

I really like the amount of space in the tune. It's really open. It reminds me of quiet jams with groups of friends.
 
I think the composition is nice.
 
The average volume is right on -13 dB measured with RME DigiCheck. Plenty of room for dynamics which is nice.
 
It is a bit mantra like with the melodic themes. The note durations get very predictable.
 
If I had a suggestion it might be to sound a little more lyrical.
 
The composition as a whole is pretty and I listened. :-)
