Here's a really short orchestral theme I've been working on.

How do you like it?

Sounds good.  The solo horn sounds good. The backup horns sounded kinda midi to me.  Now that could really just be me.  I don't listen to this style of music unless I'm up here.  Interesting piece.

good sound!

Thanks guys! All the brass was actually recorded live- trumpet, baritone (as a tuba stand-in), trombone. The strings, non- and chromatic percussion, piano, etc were midi. Glad you like it!

very nice, David
 
the percussion's a little weak, I would love to hear those timpani really thunder on my speakers and the cymbal swell to really fill the room.

Thanks Beagle, I usually put a boost or EQ on TTS-1 tracks- not sure why I didn't this time! I'll keep that in mind for future projects like this.
How is it from a composition aspect?

Wow!  I like the piece!  Just curiously ... can the brass be done with synths?  I ask only because recently (the last few days) I begun trying to learn how use more tools within SONAR.  I am not a musician (I play no instruments) and am only beginning to realize some of Sonar's capability!

That sounds quite good here are you going to develop it some more?

That's really good David, very nicely composed and arranged. You have a good ear for brass arranging. I'd like to hear more like this.

I think you did a great job on this  Dave...I think it fits well into a theme where you don't want epic but close...it could fit into many movie scenes. The mix is nice and clear. Did you do all of it in Sonar?
