Sci-fi-esque track - What's wrong with it?


Recommended Posts

Really nice soundscape you've created here. Very pleasing to listen to, I especially like the piano which has a lot of space and impact. The final section that it goes into is really excellent. 

Certainly nothing wrong with this piece. I'd perhaps suggest adding some more reverb to your cello section -  at around 00:21 it doesn't sound as spacious as the other sounds. Also, at the end, it sounds like the cymbals are distorting a little. You may have gone for this effect, but if not, I'd add some compression (or a limiter) to your percussion section to avoid this. 

Really well done though, I enjoyed this a lot. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent music. I don’t hear anything inherently wrong - the music is beautiful, the balance is fantastic, and the swelling of strings really capture the emotions. Top notch music in my books. 

 

Thanks for taking the time, Sepharite!

Thanks for the feedback, James. I was concerned Id gone too far with the reverb but I did want to place the sounds in a vast space, so I'm glad this comes off. I did add a drive plugin to the cymbals as they didn't have enough bite - I will lookout for excess distortion in future pieces. Cheers!
