C&C on my wip orchestral piece (Update)

[Gulch666]

its the intro and part of the body of the song, yuoll know when the intro part ends and the other part begins as they dont flow, cause they arent meant to, just imagine more song between the two parts

anyway, much appreciation for critiques

It's coming along pretty well so far, but I would make one suggestion: Perhaps think of adding a bit of bass. In other words, most of the notes that you have in there now are in the same register, and it lacks a bit of depth. Try putting some low strings, or an upright bass, and see how that sounds. I do like how it's going, though~

Wow, not bad Gulch. But Holk is right, more bass is necessary.

On a side note: I'm actually working on an orchestral piece of my own... and it's coming along well, amazingly.

Updated it with a new part, 8 more bars of awsomeness

eyah ive kind of been layering it up as i go, but pretty much everything but the brass section is within 3 octaves, its kind of hard with eiderol to go higher or lower with the instruments because they start to sound very fake, but ill be putting in timpani's and maybe some more tuba/low sounding instruments and stuff to give the song some more low end, also i think i can get away with lower notes on the string section, but solo instruments just sound bad when you get out of a certain range from the "middle" of the sample.

also would like to critique myself, after taking a break from the song and listening to it again, the beggining before the brass and string section sounds too busy, its a bit muddy imo, so ill have to go thru and maybe simplify it

gonna have my friend who played a lot of drums in a small orchestra (highschool band lol) give me pointers on that part, cause i fail at orchestral percussion, i can lay down some sexy beats on a kit, but when you start getting into timpani's, marching snare shit, bells etc i get lost

thanks for the info guys, ill update it as i have time to work on it for more feedback in its progress, this is my first serious try at orchestra so its a little slower going than my standard area of expertise
