Well, all of it if you have the time!

The stereo field is very good and the air in the landscape is wonderful. I enjoyed the low end frequencies the most and the balance of all freqs is very good. The dynamics are very good also.

Hi OrestSounds like an excellent composition to me. I'm not on very good speakers right now- can't speak to sound quality, but it sounds like you have a great action/suspense cue. Is there a specific listing you are shooting for? If so, can you post the listing?Best, Casey

Alex, This is great man! Well written. I can hear this on "24". I agree about the low end stuff, I can really feel it, which is great. To my unqualified ears this seems very well balanced and have good sound quality. Andy

Please give me some feedback: www.alexanderorest.com/world.htmHello,I'd say that the main thing is that the strings have a "choppy" feel in the way that they move from note to note. It's like there's an eighth note rest between each note... not smooth and flowing like I'd expect.The composition is fine, the percussion and brass all sound very good to me. Just the strings needs more realism. Maybe double up octaves on the short notes and make the long notes flow into each other better.HTH,Dave

Thanks to you all and Dave! Well, today my new program arrived called Miroslav edition. I'm going to edit this cue with the new sounds and add the mp3 later on! Thanks again!

New version is out now using Miroslav and other nice stuff! I would like your advice about a fitting listing to this song? www.alexanderorest.com/world.htm

I really like this piece. I agree with Andy. I can imagine this on 24 or something like that. There is only one thing... There is a three note phrase that starts at 13 sec. and comes back at 20 sec. I wish those three notes had no space in between but were more legato - kind of as if they were played with a slur. What you have done is not wrong - it's just a matter of taste. I would drag the ending of the notes so that they slightly overlap the beginning of the next note to give it that mushy slurred feeling. (to make the difference between that phrase and the staccato strings that are going even bigger)Great piece! Good luck with the submission.~ Lydia
