SUPAREELS Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Thought I'd have a go with my first instrumental ... I wondered if it's any good so don't spare my feelings .... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Sounds OK here this is just my own furry perspective the string piano balance is not quite right tin places. Neither are prominent enough and tend to tread on each others feet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSband Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 It's a pretty tune. Nice playing too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Steve, I really like this one! Lovely melody, a bit classical sounding. I think the strings need to be toned down a bit and maybe not so much swell to them. I thought the tempo was too fast on first impression but now I'm not sure. I like the bird like high pitched flute (?). Hope you do more of these. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said I recently purchased a Komplete S88 to replace my Nectar 88 and it comes with a load of new sounds/samples ( I worry I may die before I get through them all ! LOL). There are so many really great instrumentals, yours among them, and although I am a words guy I thought I'd have a bash. I really like David Sprouse's stuff too as it invokes my creative edge. Your comments are always well received my friend so look after yourself ? Best regards Steve ( BTW It was a piccolo sampled from Spitfire's BBC Orchestra, which I believe has a free version if your interested ..see ya ?)

Hidden Symmetry Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Enjoyed the track, some good sounding sample libraries used on this. Listened on headphones & to me the cello sounds like it's from a different library than the others used. It has a slightly different timbre, sound field image (or maybe the reverb is baked in) but great job overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sprouse Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I like how you used the whole range of your instruments. Piano was hypnotic. nice tone painting of birds in a forest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the mixing is off a bit but I'll play with it some more .... maybe? Stay well Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmasno5 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 You know if I could write and perform like this I would always be looking for Sync opportunities so I can quit my day job. Sounds great. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treesha Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Very pleasant piece and definitely has a birdsy woodsy light open feel to it. Great first attempt. I been writing more instrumentals in recent years, if this was my piece I would have some changes in dynamics here and there for a bit of drama, and I would probably put a very low volume pad or some low notes in the bottom range to kinda bring it all together through the different phases of the song. Enjoyed it and my imaginary trip to the woods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Kirby Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I really enjoyed this one - very pleasant and relaxing - nicely done. Excellent mix - sounded quite good through my headphones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Killer composition. It evokes the title very well. I think you could play more with the mixing, which is actually harder to do (I think) on this type of classical/new age/ambient stuff, than the rock and roll mixes where errors have plenty of room to hide. One idea, when the tin whistle comes in about half way through, there is an airy sub-rumble that comes in with it . . . hear that mud down low? High Pass filter that stuff and rumble begone! "Airy sub-rumble", I just realized, makes no sense at all. But can you hear it? Just curious. Mixing a piece like this is brutally unforgiving, because the mixing errors absolutely pop out of the spaces between. What fun! Your piece is excellent and I look forward to hearing how your bring it along! Totally worth the effort! cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 This new sound from you is mesmerizing, as well as being light and delicate. I enjoyed the mix as is, and would suggest taking many of these tips and incorporating them in your next song. It has your finely tuned sense of melody, and that, to me, is your great strength! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
