orchestra_in_progress

As with my other piece Cathedral of the Dark Angel, I'am once again attempting at making a full 25 instrument orchestra. I'am hoping that I can extend it past 5 min...which would take a lot of thinking and writing. After listening to the full soundtrack of the Nightmare Before Christmas, I'am trying to get better at my transitions, melodies, patterns, chord work, etc. So, hope you guys like this one.

What are your opinions so far?

Damn.

So much potential here.



FINISH THIS T.T

Lol. Heres how it sounds now:

All I did was switch a few instruments around and added a new melody toward the end.

Woww, it's really really good :3 I really like this orchestra piece, what program did you use to make it?

I use Fruity Loops 8 and the VST plugin I used is called Edirol Orchestral.

Very nice man! Im a big fan of Edirol's samples. Keep at it, youre doing great!

Ohh fruity loops is awesome even Basshunter uses it to make his music. Too bad you can't do much with it without having to buy it.

I like this one much more than your other one, the cathedral one. That one was kind of good but seemed to lack structure. This one has some very good potential ^^

Thanks guys. I don't have an updated version just yet since I didn't bring my flash drive with me, but I'll give you guys a listen hopefully soon.

The first piece was a bit iffy with the drums - they sounded out of rhythm - but I really liked the second piece.
I loved the gradual crescendo, and the intro was sweet and pretty.
I think the harp/lyre was a much better fit for the first instrument.
If you want to make this 5 minutes, my suggestion is that you work with the melody from 0:00 - 0:07 - that section was beautiful, and echoing its style would make this song pure ear bliss.
Also, in the first piece, I liked the section from 0:07 - 0:09, and I think you should emphasize that in the final piece.
