Hahah, unintentional (sort of) jump scare in second track is 2-0 in other words?
Thanks for the feedback! I actually added quite reverberant booms in the percussion sections on purpose (see those sound clips in the playlist to the right? Yeah...). There is a balance I suppose, between those extra booms, and not letting them bleed into the mix too much, or for too long. Maybe they would be better used if the track gets to breathe a bit after the biggest of booms, so that the tail has ample time to fizzle out. With orchestration that really is one of the big hurdles, isn't it? Trying to have these detailed, big pieces, while avoiding chaos and mud. I'll keep it in mind next time for sure.
Thanks for your really kind comment, and also the feedback! I haven't forgotten what you wrote in discord about giving feedback, *cough, cough*. 8) I'll just shut up, thanks again. :)
