Completely enamored by the vibes of this, super cohesive sound and compelling emotions!! The instrumentation is very simple but gets the message across very well, I think stepping stones was my personal favourite. The vocal parts were also done very well, the lyrics are very nice and you wrote the backing track for them very well!!! My one note is that at the end of the sea calls the horn parts are a bit overpowering, turning them down and adding a little bit of reverb to help blend them into everything else a bit will still give that nice swell effect without having it be a jolt instead of a more natural moment of grandeur, overall incredible work!

Hey! Thank you so much for the feedback! It’s my first time doing a challenge like this, so I am super grateful for any advice.
Stepping Stones is definitely one of my favourites too, so I’m glad it connected with you ☺️
And yes, I absolutely agree about the horns. I used the musescore audio as I couldn’t find any free VST plugins for it, so mixing was tricky 😅.
It was my first time producing my own vocals as well, so I’m looking forward to improving in the future.
Thanks again!
If you want some cool free orchestral instruments check out the free version of BBC symphony orchestra as I find it was my best starting point for a lot of orchestral stuff, I think kontakt also has some limited free orchestral VSTs as well, but dont quote me on that one. Still, you should be proud!!
