Those 2 pieces were pretty cool to listen to. The compositions are well written, and the vibe of a forgotten world is very easy to grasp. In "Song of a Forgotten World", I enjoyed the textures with the dulcimer which I found really interesting. The horn was also very cool and added a lot to the song, and the timpani rolls came at the perfect time. For the more negative side, I'd say I would have loved to have reverb on the voices. The timpani rolls were also sounding very weird, almost like they had no low frequencies and no stereo. Though I tried my best to not take it into account when listening to your tracks, I was just pointing it out.

"Frostbite Funk" also had an interesting vibe, and I once again particularly appreciated the composition work.

Congrats for finishing the jam !

Thanks a lot for taking the time to share such a long insight!

Also thanks for the in-depth feedback.
As for the voices, I felt like the more reverb I added, the more confusing it sounded, and many notes just stumbled upon the next ones, yet they sounded a little bit dry, so I kind of agree. I have to learn how to work with this plugin better than I did.
I totally agree on the timpani, they weren't as majestic-sounding as they should.
I really need to work on mixing a lot more.

Thanks again and will be seeing you on your post very soon!

For the reverb, you could try to put your voices on 2 tracks: one dry, one wet (with 100% reverb or less). You can then adjust the level of that track for more or less reverb, instead of using a "mix" knob that may (depending on your plugin), reduce your dry when increasing your wet.

It'd be great if you had a "decay" or "feedback" knob to reduce the length of the reverb without altering the spatialization it provides. I can recommend you the plugin "valhalla supermassive" which is a wonderful reverb. You can do a ton of cool things with it: huge reverbs, weird reverbs/echoes, small reverbs, and you have a lot of control over it.

Hope it was helpful.


And thank you very much :) I hope you will enjoy it.

Thank you so much for the heads up. Gotta try that double-track stuff. I'll also look that plugin up, it might be just what I need.
But in the end, I think that most importantly I have to get through some mixing!
