"Lets get to it"
date: September 30, 2005
Im a composer of orchestral myself, using a VSTi for FL called Edirol, and ill tell you the cons and goodies of this song.
- Its rather big file, which annoyes me when i gotta wait ages to hear a single song.
-The start is good, but a bit too long between stuff happening. Reduce the length.
-I'll get bored after hearing the same things alot of times with no variation.
-You got some talent that you should go on with, because orchestral is very much liked with the majority of the people.
Could be some background music, but it doesnt have that much diversity nor dominance for a song that should be used for something else.
Really loved the timpani's.

Author's Response:
I like these kind of reviews... thanks. Now I know what I'm improving. This is only my third orchestral though (or is it fourth? ^^)!
And I use the Edirol Orchestral VSTi myself. It's compatible with Making Waves, Ableton Live 5, Logic 5.5 and most other programs, as well as FLoops. It's an excellent piece of kit... hundreds of settings and very realistic samples. My only complaint is it has a lack of ethnic percussion... it'd be great with Japanese drums, Taikos etc.
...thanks for that list, though. I'll stick to what you've said when I make another Orchestral song.
