Defend the City

Yet another adventure cue!

Defend the City

I like how it comes in from nothing. Nice work.

The drums feel like they're a bit too close in the mix. It sounds like the orchestra's on a stage, but the drum's are in a room right in front of me. Maybe add just a tiny amount of reverb so they feel a bit more distanced.

Nice variety in this track.

I think you could make the ending a bit more conclusive. You do a key change at 2:50 and it sounds like you're starting into a new section. If you're gonna leave the key change, I think you need to make it a little longer. Try removing the key change at the end to see if it helps.

0:46 is cool with all the interweaving lines. It's a little hard to listen to them. Try changing the volumes on them so that certain melodies are in the foreground while others are in the mid and background.

Cool track, Judas!

Nice string work coming out of the beginning and love the driving rhythms you have going on there. Unexpected change up in dynamics towards the middle with the softer string arpeggios, really enjoyable from a listening aspect. Choirs towards the end are epic! Great arranging with those. My only comment would be the instrumentation around :40 could use some straightening out. The flutes seem a bit hectic in the upper register there, but if that was the intention, then keep it. That's the only thing though from a listening standpoint that stood out. Great work though. Can't wait to hear more!

Thank you both

I'm currently just experimenting with the woodwinds, just trying different stuff as I really don't know what they should play... Well, I hope in the future that after many mistakes, I finally make the flutes right!
