Why ? Because the theme is FANTASTIC !
I don't care if the mix have issues if the melody is flowing so well that instantly transport me to a parallel reality.

Really good.

Thanks Mihai! Good to hear from you.

WOW! .... WOW! such a great song!

Yup, bonbos are a good level. Great cinematic fanfare sort of thang.

The melody is epic AF. Sure, you could probably polish the end result a bit more, but the melody is top level imo

catchy!

First of all, I loved the melody you present here, and the rhythm works well with the orchestral background. I'd like to focus on the things that I think could make this sound more effective:

First of all, I felt the balance between the orchestra and percussion was a little off. You're using hand drums which sound like they're being played right next to a microphone while the orchestra sounds pretty far away. I think if you toned down the percussion (or raised the volume of the orchestra), it would sound better. Also, the orchestra is pretty static. I think more dynamic contrast in the strings/brass could really make this mix sound more dramatic.

Great start so far! I can hear some Martin O'Donnell influences here.

Thanks! Although I was thinking "Jerry Goldsmith" inside my head at the time I slapped this track together. Cheers :D
