That was really well done Gus. I would have liked to hear some volume swells on the leads as they came in and out but apart from that I thought the mix was almost perfect. I listened through headphones and it just sounded great.

Very open, ambient, and well balanced. Nice melodies too. I think the theme is working.

I enjoyed it. Larry the Cable Guy has a fun bit on "Dream Catchers..." I tried to find a youtube link that was short enough, but no luck.
Sittin downtown in a railway station one toke over the line.

Overall it's a very evocative piece. The mix is too compressed for this style, IMO. I don't know if that's a soundcloud thing or your original mix.

not my normal cup of tea but very nice arraignment...I tend on the compression but again its not my normal listening so it might be right for the piece.
good work!!!

Switching to the next song there is really starting to bug me.
The song sound fine, and I was just about dreaming when that other song started.
I looked at the length of time of the song, and thought perhaps it should be longer.
Good job.

Interesting piece and arrangement. Everything flows together nicely. What vst did you use?

Hi John,
Mainly Dim pro. I'm starting to draw in some Eastwest into my tunes. On this one I used about 4 different pianos the one on top is EW Steinway. The strings are a combo of EW and dim pro. I used the dim pro underneath the EW as well.

Very nice arrangement and song. One minor suggestion, take a look a Garritan Harps. Much more dynamic sounding harp, IMO. Otherwise, I really thought it was darned good.

Dan

Thanks once again for your input Dan. You're so right, I need a good harp sound. I was thinking that soundsonline would have one in their Hollywood orchestra. I'll check out your suggestion soon.

The recording seems excellent. And the use of orchestration, impeccable...
The score? Well... YOU SCORED!!
It feels like it goes with something? Like a screenplay? Or a dance of some kind...
=================
P.S., as Larry the Cable Guy said? well I won't go in to detail, let's just say there are a few Claudia Shiffer's in there... Maybe a Sofia Vergara or two?

Thanks Al, After reading what you had to say I went about making it a little longer. I think it works. :)

Cheers Robbie, The idea that I had for the last section was to play with the idea of an alarm clock filtering into your dream. I'm sure we have all had this type of thing happen. Pleased you like it. Gus
