As the title suggests there's quite an emphasis on brass in this one... (the other instruments are percussion, bass, some strings and electric guitar in places) - I've used some of the edirol trumpets, several instances of saxlab and several soundfonts to reach a dirty brass sound at the climaxes...
All comments and suggestions are appreciated!
bye,
frederik

Very convincing sounds Frederick. Good layering to achieve the result.

Hi Frederik Mellow track and good efforts arranging all the ensamble, it sounds realistic and enjoyable. It has an exotic feel, but also experimental at times.... I like it very much, cool thing, not the usual atmospheres. Cheers

+I like the layering of soundfonts too, especially the guitar, if that is a soundfont. +I think you've pulled off the eastern feel very well! +I like the strings programming. -IMO the main trumps need to be sweetened with a little more eq somewhere and perhaps some more compression. They seem sort of weak. -I would personally make the bass a bit more dominant -and the drums panning from left to right or centered instead of stuck on the right for the whole song.

thanks for all your replies, really appreciated!
@ Spirulence: I think you're right with most of your comments, I'll see what I can fix if I ever get to make an update of this track... BTW: the guitar is a soundfont too, but I think most of the "character" of the tone comes from the amp sim used.
@ Daniel: nice to hear it gets you dancing ;-)

Hi Frederik, A really authentic middle-eastern sound & arranged beautifully. I do agree with Spirulence that the bass needs to come up a bit. Also,I think the reverb becomes a little to overbearing with the added reverb with the electric guitar & makes the song a bit muddled & undefined. Apart from those two things mentioned it sounds great otherwise. Elwood

thanks for your reply, Elwood!
Glad you think I captured the middle-earstern ("balkan")-feel well. Your remark about the reverb is spot on. That is, I already felt something was wrong in the mix; from the moment the guitar enters things get muddled... Another great tip for a possible future update of this track!
bye,
frederik

Very much enjoyed this. It is refreshingly different from any other music I've been hearing lately - either here or other forums. I would agree with others the guitar seems to muddy the sound. I would guess that it is putting fairly continuous sound in the same frequency range as the other instruments therefore masking their attack. This is a problem I am well aware of with multi-layered synths. An octave shift might help but then it might be too growly or squeaky
