Just did this piece today and it has'nt been mastered, as if I know what that means. Anyway, I'm planning to put out a classical CD in the next few months and I'm wondering if this piece can make the cut. If you have a little time to listen, thank you... I don't believe you'll be disappointed. But then again....


'The Last Long Ship'

Thanks again! :D
 
Nice chilled out strings.. Nice track man. Try adding more orchestral pieces to it if you can, would be really impressive if you could get a huge 48 piece MIDI orchestra track up! that would be top. maybe a percussion track with a few tympani rolls in there and quite cymbal clashes. If you do, let me know the link to it when youve finished it :)

Just as strings, it still sounds great, so yeah, nice track man! enjoyed it :)
 
Christopher, that's a beautiful piece in it's sonority and voice leading. The lower voice really sets things off well with that Bach-like descending line at the beginning.

Alread good and doesn't really need anything... but might benefit a little from more dynamic contrasts in the overall mix that follow the contour of whichever voice is most prominent or active in each phrase.

nice song, but it sounds too fake. the wonderful thing about a real string orchestra is that they aren't fake. the attack and release time on the strings are all the same which makes it sound boring...your peice needs emotion put into the playing and right now it sounds too static sounding both in the actual sounds themselves and the rhythms. Definitely more dynamic contrast like Lawler said. I think this peice would greatly benefit from a real orchestra playing it. Not many people would buy a CD that was of a synthesized classical string orchestra.

peace
 
Thanks for the listens guys.

To all of your replies, I thought about maybe adding a little percussion track and I still may. But I love the simplicity of just the strings at the moment.

Would like to add more to the over all dynamics of the track but right now I'm a little limited to the software I have. Just a soundfont player now, with a fairly good soundfont strings. I actually have uploaded a newer version that tries to deal with this exact thing you're talking about but I feel like I still don't have it right yet.

The first version was just one instance (I think I'm using that word right) of the soundfont and today I went back and spread the voices out a little more by making four different tracks. Plan on getting back to it soon though and work on it some more.

And to have a symphony do this stuff would be great. Bennychico11, do you happen to have one I could borrow? :D

Thanks again for listening.
 
Thanks for listening jgld.

You know, I went back and listened to the wav file on the music computer and the soundfont strings sound pretty good coming off that. I'm wondering if it might be the MP3 conversion to 128kb and then transfer to Soundclick that kills the sound of the strings? I know it would be far better to have a symphony do it but that involves way to much.

Anyway, thanks everyone who listened, even if you did'nt reply. :cool:
