Latest piece mixed on Sonar Platinum. Once again I'm looking for feedback on the mix translates on your speakers. All comments warmly welcome.
 
Thanks,

Nice sounds, I think it has potential, the mix seems to have a slightly hard/brittle edge to the sounds.  Not sure if it is me or not but it also sounds biased to the left somewhat.  I like the composition.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful piece.  I listened on my work computer with a 5.1 setup.  It sounded good here.

Yes, nice one! I am so extremely calm after hearing that. I like the "slow downs", you don't often get to hear that, and they are done very well.
 
Mix-wise I thing you are favoring the higher frequencies here, maybe you could add some more balls to the cello/contrabass/whatever the lower strings you are using? Yeah I know, balls on a cello, it's an odd request, have fun with that one.
 
Overall your piece would work extraordinarily well in a movie scene where something else is going on. Montage time!
 
very cool

Gus,
 
I liked this musical composition very much
The writing ,  song development, and the melodic motif movement is very good .
This composition has a nice moody somewhat pensive easy going vibe that feels like it's slipping in and out of what seems to be a musical day dream .
Yes , very powerful in places and somewhat well suited for background film musical type of stuff as far as the overall musical vibe goes in the places where you have a lot of rise and fall type of swells going on .
 
I do understand where Wookiee is coming from when he mentioned the left side speaker seeming more dominant  in your mix ...
Right off the bat , I noticed a lot of the faster attacks on the various instruments were on the left side of the stereo field and that a lot of the slower instrument attacks such as string swells were on  the right side of the stereo field ...
You know , not a crit just an observation ...FWIW , I did listen to this on my monitors at a little above TV volume ....
 
I wish I could write like this , I thought you did a great job with a little tweak here and there watch out 
 
all the best ,
 
Kenny

Very nice indeed Gus, highly cinematic and evocative. Gave me an 'awake all night, and watching the dawn rise' kind of feeling - specific eh?  Love the ethnic tones that come in at the end, beautiful. Right up my street, enjoyed this very much.
