Really beautiful music, sounds fab here in England. I feel this is one of your best pieces, which says something, as all of your tunes/productions are of the highest order. :)

I thought the reverb was completely "orchestral hall" appropriate and added to the magical landscape. The introduction of the Eb before going to the C section is a really nice movement. All the instruments sound excellent, have wonderful parts, and suit/add to the mix, which I think is killer.
   I have to admit that I got a big kick out of the castanets. LOL I got this wonderful sense of empowerment, that I have the tools/plugs, whatever/etc, to enjoy myself, big time! I can only imagine how pleased you are with it and how much fun it must have been to hear it back, once you got it to this level of development. Well done, you!
     The castanets "made me go back and listen, again", to your delightful orchestration choices. So, on the 3rd listen this morning, I found myself thinking my life is just so fun. Thanks for the reminder!
Michael




Thanks again Michael!

Dan      Not having Komplete, nor Omnisphere (nor a Triton, and JV-2080 for that matter), I wonder what those two contributed to the excellent quality of your instrument patches/sounds. Would you give us a run down of that? That would be very informative, indeed.  I am certain a number of us would love to know what you use (besides great skill and talent!)!

Well, out of Komplete, the only thing I used was Kontakt. These are the libraries used (that I remember):
 
Embertone Blakus Cello - Opening cello
EastWest Symphony Orchestra - Cello ensemble, strings, brass, percussion
EastWest Hollywood Orchestra - Strings, brass, percussion, opening harp
Chris Hein Solo Violin - Lead violin
Realitone Blue - First vocal
8Dio Jenifer - Second vocal (duet)
Garritan GigaHarp - Melodic harp
Impact Soundworks Highland Harps - Harp arpeggios
BFD3 - Drums
 
That's all I can remember, lol...
 
Regards,
Dan

Thanks for taking the time to list them. I will definitely be checking them out, after knowing what the results can be.

Just remember: sales sales sales!
 
Each one of these was purchased for 1/2 price.

Being retired that is the only way I roll! LOL
I have only read about all of them, though I don't know if I used to have the GigaStudio harp....maybe I still have that on my old P4 PC. Hmmm. I'll have to crank that one up. LOL
I do have GPO5 ..
Say, do you recall which reverb/ambience(s) you used?
