    very very good Kev. this is like something from 'Fantasia'...can almost see brooms sweeping etc...excellent tune, very well programmed. only thing i would change is the drums, which for me gets a little much in the fast passages.

    Thanks ! I wasn't sure about the drums either.In places it needs a snare and a big bass drum I think...this would provide a break for the percussion thats in there at the moment.Thanks for listening !!

    Awesome!  What synth did you use to produce the track?

    The whole thing was so cool, Kev. totally dug it.

    However, I must say this: you can hear the bite on the high end of the violins detache' (or Colle'?) when they play by themselves. But when the rest of the orchestra comes in, you know the high end would get overwhelmed by the other freqs in the concert hall. Especially when the long bow strings come in and sound concert hall verbed, and the detache' sound like the mic is RIGHT HERE.

    Hi James,
    Thanks for your comment.I'm not sure what you really mean though :( You think the other instruments need to be EQed to allow the violins to come through more,or that the violins are too loud in the mix ? Thanks for listening and your feedback !!!

    Hi Kev,

    This is just outstanding. Love the whole piece.  The tempo changes are great.
