Hm nice one,
it has a very captivating melody and the counter melody is a very nice touch. Well done.
The whole song actually has a very good build up from the main theme, good harmonisation.
Great song, thanks for sharing

Nice song and composition.  It sounds a bit too midi for my taste, but i don't expect you to have a real orchestra at home. |

Hi FourthMansions Nice inspiration, I like the autumn mood of it, good melodies. I like the orchestral sounds, but I'm not 100 % happy with the drums sound, or maybe it's just the kick that seems too much up front to me, (not sure....  ) Good structured composition, and good production Cheers |

Thanks for listening guys - glad you liked it. The orchestral sounds are from Garritan Personal Orchestra. They sound pretty good to me, but I probably need to learn a bit more about fine tuning it.

This is very nice, and the melodies weave together well. I think it might have been better if the timing was a little less precise.

This is a very nice song with a strong melody and counterpoint that was well played. I liked the orchestral sounds, mix and pans. Like Laguna Rising I think the kick drum was way to loud for this.
Super song - MarioD

Mario and Folderol, thanks for listening and commenting. I may have to rethink the kick drum.

Nice one, FM
I also have GPO and I know it's a problem to get the right attack with string and cello lines. It's usually a bit too legato for me. Sometimes I use a second sample from Halion to get the right attack. I think your main melody line also suffers a bit from this. At the moment it has a bit of an unsteady feeling, so to speak.
Nevertheless you have some good things going on here. I especially like the middle part with the two counter melodies. I don't know about the kick being too loud but I thought the kick was in parts a bit too busy. Not suiting the mood of the song.

Hi Fm, the season mood is very well rendered I liked a lot the intricated melodies. Cool work!! The strings sounds good to me but their playing is very "mechanical". For the cello there is a good free vst called Cellofan. Maybe you should try it. If you didnt find it I can post it here  Thanks! bye mag |

I'm using GPO allso You do know that you ahve to play with the MOD wheel parameter to get the right attack don't you ? Actually the whole expression thing of GPO depends on the MOD wheel parameter, much more then on velocity, wolume and other stuff... k Nice one, FM

Mmm As far as I know the Mod wheel in GPO only influences the velocity and not the attack. But maybe I'm wrong. |

Thanks for the advice guys - yes I know the mod wheel is essential to GPO, but I've still got a lot of learning to do. Thanks for the suggestion about Cellofan, Magma - I'll take a look for it. |
