Description : I would love to have some help with editing this- ironing out the sound issues, or time issues. Any help will be appreciated.I want to get the best possible string sound without having to buy more expensive string software. I am not a great fundi on mixing and playing with the effects.I prefer to just write the music and have some other expert deal with the technical sound issues. What I am wanting here is a sound that is most like a good orchestral recording. Of course what I REALLY would like is for a REAL orchestra to play it in Carnegie Hall or the equivalent! Or better still some famous movie company to buy the rights to it and I become in instant multimillionaire overnight!!.Oh well I can dream cant I? ha ha!!!

This is a wonderful composition, and is really musically solid in every aspect. The mix is pretty good, and the panning on the sound effects at the end are especially effective.

One thing that may help with mixing of an orchestral work - try to envision where the different instruments are set in an orchestra. Visualize the seating chart of an orchestra and then try to place your different instrument tracks in those positions in your mix by using panning and volume. For example, normally you would find violins on the left side of the conductor as you face the stage. First chair forward and more to the left, second chair a little behind them and a little more toward center. Use panning to place the first chair further to the left, then less panning to place the second chair. Adjust the volumes just a bit (always add some reverb for depth) and you will get a 3 dimensional effect on your strings. Do this for the harp, piano, and timpani as well (all of these instruments are on the conductors left). Then place the tuba, trombone, trumpet, clarinet, bassoon, oboe and flute directly in front of the conductor (so very little panning, and the horns will be in the "back" of your mix). The right side of the conductor will see viola, cello, bass, french horns, and percussion. Again, pan the bass all the way to the right, cello closer to center and the other instruments behind in the mix. When you get done, I think you will find that your track will sound exactly like being there in person. I hope this makes sense and isn't too confusing.

Anyway, sorry for the lengthy review, but it really is a terrific piece and one you should be very proud of. I hope all is well.

What great feedback. Makes perfect sense. I really appreciate the time and effort you took to make these suggestions, Bear and I will try and get my head around it with the software. I am such a newbie with the tech stuff and have trouble concentrating enough to get it all together, but your advice is valuable and informative. With input like yours I can only improve! Many thanks and hope all is well with you too.

Description : Hi, I just had to try and do my own type of music tribute to the sad and unfortunate events in Manchester the other night

I start the song off with a type of music box to represent like a young child and then i go into a violin strings to try and set the sadness and then after a while i used some soft drum and clicks to represent time ticking and then with just the piano and then in the middle of the track it picks up pace a bit and i decided on this because to represent the strength of the people that will stand strong and i once again also put the music box in with this and my reason was to be strong for the rest of the children and then i finsh up with the piano again and the ending on the drum to remember the lives sadly lost and a type of silence if it were

i really feel so sadened by this event and it trully has me in bits

may we all come together and forever be strong and stand up to these horrible people who think they can destroy us and our children and families and loved ones

God Bless you all and stay safe and be strong

Description : Recorded this a while ago.. Raw, lovely.. I'm an electric guitarist so this is unfamiliar territory for me... I always wanted to master classical acoustic and I will one day. Video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMt7o3ty9pw *Edit* Despite this being painfully obvious, this is not my composition, it's an effort to learn classical guitar and note the progression for future nostalgia.. This site is making me think I should give the anti-vaxxers some credence. Ffs.
