Riding The Waves (Orchestral)

Terry,
 
I think you achieved your goal of capturing the varying moods of the sea through this orchestral piece.   I like it a lot, really entertaining throughout.   I don't really have any advice or comment as it is really superbly done.   If I had to make something up:) I might suggest adding something like NI Action Strings to some of the more tense/stormy  points to add some more suspense or motion.    You have the right motion going but as I am sure you know, it is hard to get those live orchestral dynamics with MIDI unless you have those type of live samples/articulations to pull from.  Very minor observation.  I would still give this a  9.5 out of 10 score as is...The instrument choices and arrangement are top notch.
 
Regards
 

Thanks to everyone who has listened so far.
 
@Mark - Thanks for the glowing praise! I guess I do need to go back and try combining patches. I'm using EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Gold which should have everything needed... I just need to sort out the combinations to get the best 'action' result.
 
@Wayne - Thanks! Good point about the silence - I did add reverb to make the sound carry over into the silence but it appears to have disappeared in the mix (or the transcoding by the servers). I'll go back and see if I can improve it.
 
Thanks again,
Terry.

I'm not gonna nitpick about this production.  Your composing skills are awesome, and this is one of your better ones.  Take a bow!

Hi,
 
Thanks again to everyone for listening.
 
Dan - thanks for tip, I'll try that next time
Lynn - just imagine my bowing... ;-) Thanks for listening and making such a positive comment :-D
Shawn - Thanks for the positive comment. For the silence I think it's a reverb issue, next time I'm at my music PC (not for a few days unfortunately) I'll try and sort it out.
 
Thanks,
Terry.

Nicely done, the orchestration sounds pretty good from here.   I like the point about half way through where it almost sounds like big bubbles coming up...    and the dynamics after that section worked well IMO.    Get some space around this sucker and it'd be good to go matey.   
 

Nice! At first I thought, why all the stopping and starting? Then I realized the title. It still bothers me though. Even as one wave dissipates a new one has already formed. Maybe blend beginning and end of each section? Either way, very well done! Excellent work!

Dude, I love it.  Sounds like a soundtrack, closing credits to the next Batman v. Superman movie, ha ha.  Seriously though, it has a great hook and you kept it interesting.  Nice work.
