Some cool orchestral textures, keep it up!

Nice arrangement overall, I like the storytelling musically that you put together, its already been said but most of what to work on is the expression and modulation playing on your instruments so we don't feel any cut in the mix also strings voicing, especially when you play the melody in sixth it will probably better to use another instruments and play octaves with strings and the sixth going to woodwinds for exemple it will create a nicer texture. Also bonus tip for screenshot daw, you can just upload a screenshot in your main page and it will automatically transfer to your submission page :) Good job

Lovely song, top composition and arrangement :)

Regarding the mix, I like it overall, its balanced, but there is one thing that bugs me.
In the start of the song you have your instruments very controlled, honestly they would pass as a human recording ez, but by the end you can hear they are midi / vstish, I'm curious on what happened there :S

Take care!

I do love the instrumentation, everything seems to compliment and fit very well!

Lovely composition, I really enjoyed the textures in it. My only observation is that your flutes in the lower registers get lost a little bit with the string textures over them. I would suggest bringing the volume of them up when they're in the lower registers and reducing the strings to help provide a better balance. :)

That makes sense, I appreciate the feedback! Ill do that! :)

Good composition overall.

Constructive feedback:

MIDI/Dynamics. Sounds clicked in because of MIDI. Some aspects of the composition sound a bit "clicked in."

If possible, a midi controller is one of the best ways to improve on this.

I'd also say add more reverb.

Great work, thanks for submitting! :)

Developer

ah, I'll check that out, I see what you mean! Thank you!

Nice use of tension and texture here, good work.

Developer

Thank you!

Well done, i sense a feeling of building tension, that could work for a sad scene or a moment before triumph.

I like the idea of that, thank you!
