    OK, I have updated the file and I'm pretty happy with the optimization so far. Your feedback has been very valuable. To me the piece is sounding much more defined now. Please let me know your opinion about it.


    And remember: for me - at least for this piece - a clean and well balanced mix is more important than re-creating a realistically sounding orchestra.


    All the best.

    Hi Heiko.

    Can't do an A/B comparison with your original file but, as I posted above, it sounds fine to me through my monitors. I'd be happy enough with it too.

    Well, you are right. Maybe I should have left the original version online for comparison purposes. Next time I will. :)


    Anyway, thanks for listening! Hopefully there will be some more feedback from other people out there. Any opinion is welcome!


    Cheers

    Hello

    I really like your composition and use of sound, its very enchanting, the only real sound in the mix that I found a little intense was the picking during the sort of main theme (1:07) they sonud almost over saturated, very upclose in the mix.  Maybe bringing the strings when they are plucking down ever so slightly will improve that.  But still it is a great piece.

    Thanks for your input, Andrew. I'm very glad, you like it. =)


    Well, I'm not quite sure, what you define as "picking". Do you mean the pizzicatos or the very high frequencies that I soar over the other instruments or maybe the muted harp in the middle or the clock ticking? Sorry, but I can't find any picking sound at the time you mentioned. Maybe you mean 2:07? Please let me know.


    Thank you!

    OK, then at least I did fix the correct thing. ;-)


    In the soon to be updated version (hopefully during the next hour or so) I pushed the pizzicato strings more in the back as you suggested. You were right, they sounded a little too obtrusive.


    Thank you!
    Heiko


    PS: seems like typing "a little too fast" is your style, eh? :D
