Hi,

I just finished this large scale orchestral piece and would appreciate to hear what you think of it.

It could be used during the final battle or set piece of a game or movie.

Thanks

The variety of textures is really nice and the inner parts add a sense of fullness to the sound. At the moment I can hear a lot of ideas but also a lot of repetition of that first basic idea. Instead of coming up with loads of things that fit with that first idea, I think you should try to develop that melody into something with more shape, The simplest thing you could do is move the motif up and down the scale to find a nice answering phrase. Then come back to it and start thinking about extra accompaniment parts. Also the ending needs something more satisfying, maybe a held low note from the bass trombones or something similar.

it sounds prity good!

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I agree with you on the repetition. I might rework this piece a bit or use your feedback on next pieces.

That sounds awesome, would it be too much to ask what software you used to produce this?

I mixing is top quality! I'm interested to know what sample set(s) were involved here. I've primarily been using EWQL Silver and it's saturated with a bunch of hall reverb that you can't shut off or turn down so it's hard to get this kind of clarity. They're great samples other than that, but I don't always want that much reverb so I may be shopping for some new stuff soon.

Structurally I would agree about the repetition. Jack Music made some very good points about it that I can agree with. Otherwise, GREAT track.
