    Hi,

    This is a simulation I made of one of my orchestral pieces. I used woodwinds, harp, and unpitched percussion from VSL special 1 + synchronized, Strings are CSS. layered with VSLS1+ solo strings (almost always), Brass is sample modelling, and pitched percussion is Kontakt factory library.

    Would be grateful for feedback on my used of the VSL instruments.

    Quite interesting work.
    It sounds very natural to me, maybe a bit overall wet (afar).
    SEs are a powerful tool.
    Best.

    Thank you.

    Yes, I agree, it is a bit too wet.

    I liked it; which surprised me because the modernist idiom so often just leaves me unmoved and indifferent. Your setting spoke to me clearly and strongly; probably because it's built realistically upon and around a vibrant emotional matrix - turbulent and troubled here, perhaps, but it conveyed itself to me as a very human reality, not as some vapid intellectual discourse.

    I was engaged, and I really appreciate that.

    Also, for me, the reverb just seems apposite for this piece somehow; I have no quibbles there.

    Well done!
