I'm generally not into the more mellow, atmospheric type music. But, this was good. It gained, and kept my attention from beginning to end, and there were no mixing elements that stood out as needing adjustment. You clearly put some time and attention into this, and it definitely shows.
Keep up the good work, I look forward to hearing more from you.
Many thanks for your kind words and glad you liked it V - mixing/arranging is my weak point and I did take more time to work on that, so hopefully going in the right direction!
This is really fine composition. Orchestration is excellent as is the mix. Swirly atmospherics and the various instruments that weave in and out provide a very emotional setting for the vocal. Vocal is set really nicely in the mix. Not too prominent, but not buried either. I really liked the way the vocal faded out before the instrumental backing did at the end. Very nice touch.
I wasn't aware of the Oliver Patrice Weder VST from Spitfire Audio, but just checked it out. It looks like amazing value for only $29 US. Thanks for including info on the VSTs and samples you used. That was interesting/helpful info.
Many thanks for your feedback. Yes I spent quite a while tweaking the vocal chop levels especially at the end where it gets progressively softer. I agree the OPW plugin is amazing value for the interesting sound textures you can create. Check out Oliver's work on Soundcloud - you'll enjoy it! Also check out all the Spitfire LABS instruments which are all 100% FREE! I created my cover of OMD's Souvenir using only these free plugins.
Well it can live like that
a piece of piano solo is fine
As wayne said a bit lower on the volume and the compression and it will mixed a bit better
add a natural atmospheric ambience failing to be original could bring something more
hi Henry - many thanks for the comment, hope to progress the orchestral version this weekend. Thanks for the tip with Patricia Edwards too I'll look her up :-) - best, Anna-marie
Great playing, nice musical idea, full of emotion. I am the same way about my tracks, if it sounds real and honest, a few "untidy"bits of playing are totally acceptable. To me that is what lacks in today's electronic music, the human factor.
Big sounding piano, a bit distorted though. Maybe lower either the overall track volume or adjust the compression to get the level down a bit.
Many thanks for the feedback Wayne - yes I agree, I hear too much music that sounds so mechanical and soulless. It does distort in the loud section you're right - I'm not great at mixing and mastering tbh - but I'll def try lowering the levels for a cleaner sound - cheers, Anna-Marie
