May 11, 20187 yr I can't decide whether this fits "Orchestral and Large Ensemble" or "Chamber Music" better. Please let me know if you think it's in the wrong category. This is supposed to be a small, bright mood setting tune, in which I have used Embertone's Friedlander Violin VST for the first time. Please tell me what you think. (Try to ignore the weird picture on the track if you can.) Edit: I made some changes. I removed sordinos from the string section and re-balanced the dynamics. I think it got a more calm and ambient quality now. Edited May 11, 20187 yr by Hugget Zukker Updated link
May 11, 20187 yr @Hugget Zukker But I don't want to ignore the picture! What language is that? Is a boolean? or should I say... (a is boolean)? Just kidding, you don't have to answer that. The violin is a bit too high for my ears, but it might be just me. I prefer the tenor voice on the others, which is probably the reason that my most favorite instrument is the cello. Other than that it's great, the harp sounds gorgeous. What harp vst did you use? Also, why "white elephant"? Also! I think that it belongs in orchestra. That group would definitely require a conductor. *If you answer my post- please notify me with @Rabbival507,
May 11, 20187 yr Author @Rabbival507 Thank you. It's an awesome harp. This is the one: https://www.orangetreesamples.com/products/angelic-harp I agree that the violin part is actually kind of shrill, but I did have a rationale: I wanted want it to sound "too bright" as an atmospheric device, but maybe this is too "too bright." Perhaps I should transpose it down a bit, and, in terms of production, mix the violin quieter since it cuts through the mix like a razor. Why "White Elephant"? It's just a title. I can never think of an obvious title for my music. Then I walked past my nephew's elephant toy and thought of the title "White Elephant." I thought that has a good ring to it; it makes me think of something that is cute, quirky, and pure/innocent. The language in the picture is JavaScript, and a is a string. It's named like that because the script has been "minified", which automatically renames variables to stuff like a, e3, and such 😀 Is it possible to get the thread moved to Orchestra and Large Ensemble?

May 11, 20187 yr @Hugget Zukker You should talk to @chopin, the main admin, he can move things around.
May 11, 20187 yr It's nice. I think the problem with the violin is one of volume. It's too loud. i don't mind the high tesitura, but it's a bit loud (for me). On the other hand, I always try to use all the range in an instrument, or make contrast at least. I like the title.
