I only used audacity to master the audio and add the sound effects in the middle. I wrote the piece in MuseScore, which the proof for that is attached to the submitted files as a PDF.

The reverb is just the default with my software, I didn't add any extra reverb to it. I do understand not everyone likes it, and I do want to experiment with lower reverb settings for other songs. I also don't have a ton of mixing experience either so I understand if it doesn't sound right either, I'm still learning new ways to improve the audio qualities. Thank you for the feedback tho, much appreciated!
As far as I've come to understand it, it's just a matter of understanding your textures and how to double your voicings. For example, quieter and softer passages may require you to use minimal blending of voices, especially between the low and high instruments. Or, for bigger and grander ones, it's important to double your voicings between both high and low instruments alike.
It all comes down to experimentation, but if you ever wanted to learn more about it, you could look into how famous orchestral composers went about making their music and balanced between different sections of the orchestra. Some of their pieces would set up an important precedence for the future of music. I don't know any off the top of my head that I can suggest, but I would especially recommend any 20th century orchestral composers.
Hey Spring Tyano! I compose on MuseScore myself so it's always cool to hear what other MuseScore composers are doing. Absolutely loved the variety you went for! My favs were definitely "Dear Mr. Tuna" and "Where Isda Muzik?".
I don't have too many complaints about your compositions, although your last piece, as gorgeous as it was, was a little distorted due to volume clipping by the mix. I've had this problem before, and to get around it, I would use Audacity to lower the amplification and compress the track up to volume as needed (the final mix should usually be no higher than -3dB to avoid clipping), there may some tutorials online you can look up as to how to compress and adjust your audio volumes. Or, you can also lower the master volume in the score mixer before exporting and compress or amplify it in Audacity if needed.
Great work, keep it up!
