First Orchestral Piece - any feedback appreciated

[timbehrens]

Hey Mazz,Thanks so much for the feedback and the great observations. I've been listening to this over and over while I work on it and think I am at a point where some of the things that need fine tuning are lost on my ears. I will definitely give the velocities a closer look and see if I can tighten some of that up.I've also heard the feedback from a friend that he was expecting more of a big finish in the second half of the tune. I'm not quite sure how to get there yet, but it gives me a great idea on what I need to be working at.Anyways, it's much appreciated.Best wishes to you,Tim

Tim, this is a wonderful piece. Definitely has a Danny Elfman flavor to it. I love the music box and the interweaving lines in the first part. The middle section could build in dynamics a bit more and I like the abrupt transition going to the next section. Overall this is really well done. Mazz already made some technical comments regarding midi editing that I think are pertinent.Looking forward to hearing more from you!Steve

A few well placed timpani rolls and concert bass drum hits always give some impact.Also, in Stylus in the Sound Menus, there is one called Cinematic that has some giant impact hits in it. Those are always effective!! WHAM!!!!Have fun!!Mazz

Great Job Tim!!! Mazz seems to have broken it down very well as usual. I agree with his comments. But don't lose what you got here!! Save it!! Back the session up to CD or DVD or something -you never know what kind of gremlins are going around and Murphy has visited me on more than one occasion lately. Thanks for the listen,Kitz
