New orchestral piece

[miclain]

I saw some epic nature documentary and it inspired me to write this little cue. Constructive criticism and any thoughts whatsoever are welcome!

Really loved the feel, I didn't read the post at first lol, just clicked the linked, my girlfriend and I both thought of a trailer for a nature video or documentary, so you did good haha. Thanks for posting, very well done.

HI there, really beautiful piece Love the fast strings action and all the choirs, but did you use compressor on the piece ? i have a feeling that dynamic is very squashed. the piano at the beginning could have different reverb , but this is just my taste. Overall well done

Yeah, there was some compression on it. I'm still working on getting better at mastering, but this version sounded much better than the un-mastered version, by far. I'm glad you liked the piece, and thank you for the kind words!

Focus more on orchestration, you can achieve much more with dubbing and blending right instruments together than compressing whole lot

Cheers
