The Right Direction

Been a long while since I last dropped something here...
This is a track of an older track I did back in 2015. Short and sweet orchestral melody... Some things I prefer in the original, but the overall playing and quality of the virtual instruments is a bit better in this edition.
Let's talk on what you think of the playing, arrangement and mixing and if there's anything you'd change.

    This is really nice David. Beautiful sound on the solo trumpet. Will you extend this or incorporate it into a longer piece?

    Thanks a lot James. This'll be one of a number of pieces I'm adding into my bigger demo reel :)

    I think it sounds great!  Sounds real to me.  I think the hits could be louder or more pronounced with a thud.   I listened on my studio monitors.

    Hi, David
    like your track, but hate the Autoplay option of Soundcloud...  I have a familiar working there, and I asked him - when they will shut down the Autoplay? He said he doesn't know... :)

    If I didn't like this track it wouldn't seem too short. Yeah. This seems too short.
