Gustav Johnson Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Great tracks! Really enjoyed listening! There are some really cool moments in each of them, but I do love "The Writing on the Wall" around 1:00-2:40 a bunch. Sometimes I wish the riffs had a little more "meat" to them melodically or orchestrationally, but that's probably personal preference. The riff in "Coming Home" is spot on for what I'm looking for - just the right level of complexity and hook! Your producing is very good, especially for your drum/guitar/bass sounds. Wonderful stuff!

Gustav Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm very grateful that you took the time to listen to our tracks, it's vary hard these days to get any feedback at all. Regarding the "meat" - this is my main issue, I would like to have a heavy, modern sounding rock section and a huge, wide orchestra sound in the same time. Unfortunately from the mixing point of view it's quite impossible, you always have to find a compromise because both worlds take the whole sonic range of the mix. To heavy rock section is causing the orchestra to sound small, but to big orchestra is pushing the rock section in the background. My personal taste tends to let the orchestra breathe - to simulate a situation where a symphonic orchestra would be supported by a rock section and not the other way. Alternative approach would be to change the arrangement. Most of the modern symphonic prog rock bands tend to "castrate" the tutti sections, leaving only the essential parts of orchestra, leaving a lot of sonic space for the rock section. Than in pure orchestral parts let it fully shine using full potential and instrumentation. Personally I don't like it as much. I assume it will take some time before I find my golden mean.
