Pretty good stuff.

Tanuj

very nice, I really liked the flutes, you really gave them life hoping around the score, which flute was that 1 or 2?  Was it just the staccato sample you used or fast legato?

Tanuj -

Didn't realize I'd passed this up unti you mentioned it in the other thread.  My first thoughts are I wish the harmonic stuff underneath the stab/hit lines (chords and whatnot) were more pronounced so that it felt less like unisons.  I think the mix could use some work to help in this regard.  That timp, especially, seems awfully anemic to me.  Of course, I love all the Copland 9th and 11ths.  Always beautiful, always welcome.  Plus, fun to play with your thumb across two keys :)

Something you may want to experiment with:

On this last film I did, because it was being done 5.1, I had to produce raw instrument stems for use in the mix - no reverb.  Though it took a bit to get used to purely dry samples, I found that it was actually more trustworthy and realistic to check orchestrations against.  The "big full" feel of the reverb is always nice, but I liked the transparency so much, that I've stayed working totally dry for now, and have set up my reverb levels so that when engaged, the relative volumes don't change for instruments and groups.  It took a bit of fiddling to get it to behave that way, but I like the approach much better.  I know the big full sound will be there eventually - what I want to know is that the orchestration I'm feeding it works totally satisfactorily on its own.  Garbage in; garbage out, as they say.
