Hi. This is my only piece for groups that are bigger than string quintet, and I think it's almost done. Please give me your feedback so I'd be able to improve the piece and fix problems in it. Please don't steal anything from the piece, I worked very hard on this one. Also, if something sounds familiar... I probably didn't mean it. Except for the pattern in the Bass Clarinet at the beginning. Thanks in advance :)

This is a piece I have been working on for the past two months. It is the first movement of a string quartet. It will be performed at my school in December. This is the final week to work on it before I will distribute the parts to my performers and we rehearse at the end of November. If anyone has any last minute comments or concerns regarding the score, i.e. notation, dynamics, score aesthetics, rhythm, in other words, small stuff, please let me know your thoughts. Thank you. I appreciate the time of anyone who helps ! String Quartet No 1 Mvmt 1.mid

Oh wow, that was magnificent! Excellent use of the cello...in fact, excellent use of everything! The quality of your vocals were spot on. It all had this trailer-esque amazon feeling like something you would see in Avatar. Good stuff!

What an atmosphere! I'm not hugely into guitar but I'm a real sucker for novelty. Bowed guitar checks that box for me, this was nice!

Hey man. Equalizing is a must for electronic production. It is one of the biggest, if not the biggest aspect of mixing and balancing. It's all about training your ear. The more you do it the more familiar you become with sound; how it resonates, what to look for, how to get rid of disturbances etc etc. It's about experimenting, getting familiar with the hearable Hz's, and knowing how your equalizer works. A proper mix is a mix that can be played loudly without disturbances/edges - but keeping a profound or powerful appearance. It's also about testing your sound on a variety of speakers/headphones etc, for reflective purposes. A good mix reacts well on most sound systems. For a part equalizing is taste. But there are certainly guidelines that everyone follows to get stuff done. I have blogged about the basics of mixing/balancing. If you're new to this all, have a look (it's mainly written for starters). The following episode is about equalizing (I am not aware of any rules against linking on this forum, if so, my apologies): https://typhonicsamples.com/music-production-ep-4-pain-borders-and-sweet-spots/

It's a nice nocturne, you can feel it comes to describe a night. Although, to me, it feels a bit empty.

Hey, You got some nice progressions going on. I do wanna point out that there are a lot of edgy/overly dominant mid-frequencies. Between 200Hz and 1kHz. I think this piece has a lot of potential if it's mixed properly. Especially woodwind & flute type instruments have a tendency to zoom a lot in their raw synth/recorded form so I would strongly recommend to start EQing. The piece has a nice feel so it would be a shame if the mix isn't balanced! peace

Great quality music! Good production value! I'm very impressed, keep up the good work.

I looked at your profile, saw th favourite composers and thought "ah, TSFH, that explains everything". It sounds good, especially as background music for some kind of trailer or something. The guys you're listening to are mostly sound producers, so it's good if you're going for soundtracks. I think.
