"Another slam dunk"
date: December 3, 2008
I will say that I like Too Enchanted more, but this is still good. My favorite part on this track is the intro, very orchestral sounding. My only hang up is around minute 2 when every thing drops out and bass is playing, it's too low. On the first listen I thought all the melodics dropped out completely and you were trying to do a mid drum cadence that didn't feel like it belonged there, maybe raise the bass octave or add a cello or bassoon to help the transition. Nice to hear you working on you endings as well. I just want to also add about your voice selections, I think you know that you found something that works and I just want to support/defend that if anyone comments about you using the same voices in all your songs. I think that these instrument choices are your sound but at the same time don't be reticent to experiment with the voices.
I think your covers of "Forest Interlude" sort of chronicle your understanding and mastery of instrumental arrangement. Your first submission "Enchantment" was, I think, done very well. "Even More Enchanted" I think didn't do too well, however I feel it laid the groundwork for "Too Enchanted". I think this submission made up for the second cover, in that this one sounds way more orchestral. I just want to say that it's really cool listening to your covers and songs because your audio page is a good representation of your evolution as an arranger. My hope is that when you do these covers you take notice to the patterns and structure that make these songs so interesting and use them as inspiration and apply them to make your own original song. I really think you have it in you to make something really cool and original. I think you do really good stuff. Keep it up and thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your support on all my work,it makes me feel good.
Yeah,that bass cut off point was kind of hard to do...the second note played drops to a point where it's almost completely gone.I couldn't figure out a good way to fix it without ruining the song :\
But yeah,thanks for your input.I am working on a few more song currently,including a few originals...just keep a watch for them.
