When a metal guy compose & mix orchestra stuff...

[ShamStalin]

Hurm, I'm so used to Metal kind of mix, but yah, since this is not metal, I would like to hear your opinion ~
do this sound harsh/overly compressed? I was told to quit mixing orchestra and stick to just metal, this is so frustrating. :/ I want to improve my versatility

Latest Track "Leap of Faith" ​

Nah bro, sound very nice, maybe a bit more room in the drums, maybe a Taiko?? at the end.

Maybe a little bit more of strings in the beginning to build the motif in the song.
My 2 cents

Very nice work indeed.

....I was told to quit mixing orchestra and stick to just metal....

Whoever said that is a fucking twat. This sounds good man, it's maybe a little harsh in the high end on certain instruments, but just keep at it and don't let anyone put you down.

Hi Demonrob, thank you so much for your feedback, all kind of opinions/suggestions/critics are welcomed! I'll note that down to improve my writing & mix in the future !

AntonioPetrole, really great to hear these, this is why I love this group I trust the ears of UltimateMetal's more than the people in my local industry. I'll take note on that little harsh in the high end ^^

Holy ****Mate! that's just amazing! Myself , being a metal guy, can enjoy alot of stuff like Hans Zimmer , Brian Tyler, Alexandre Desplat , John Williams, Michael Giacchino , Howard Shore, ...etc, etc ....All great film music composers. Also i have a weakness for a Baritone violin & Cello's....and a good piano score is also much appreciated I don't know when; or how it happened, I used to be an active metal guitarist in a band an all...and all of a sudden, That music taste was just "there". Im still metal to the bone though...i guess my blinders came off or something?

So anyways, ShamStalin, i have heard alot of music in that genre.
If it would be bad, i got nothing to loose by telling you so. : D
But i would prefer that you continue down that path...(and your welcome to post your new things from time to time ) .
I really like what you've made, honestly.

PS.: Might be worth mentioning i checked some other vids aswell, and i like what i hear ! Also enjoyed that remix of Touch It by Ariana Grande floating between your videos So Yeah, felt the urge to Subscibe right away

God you blessed me with beautiful people today, woah thank you so much, it's a great honor for me to hear these feedbacks, I instantly boosted by 30% of motivations after reading these comments, I'm really open to any suggestions/opinions on the song arrangements/mixing wise.

Ah, Ariana Grande remix, I'm currently stucked at 70% progress on the remix, but I'll try to get it finished as soon as I figure out a nice climax .

Thank you so much for the subs omg .

Sounds great. Maybe some more dynamics (velocity) on the piano and drums, but that's it, IMO. What vsti's are you using for this kind of stuff?

Cheers

Hi there, I used :

Hollywood Strings for the most strings, including string runs [fast notes]
Damage for percussions
and lots of 8Dio's stuffs!

Unfortunately, the piano has only 8 layers of velocity, the piano's velocity is abit stagged
