I love this! I know it's not proper to say stuff like this about our own tracks but this has almost everything I like in the music I listen to: Some John Barry, some surreal quality, some Cocteau Twins, some Shearwater. It also contains a library I wanted to purchase for some time: Realitone's Realivox.

I hope you'll like it as much as I do! As always, comments (good or bad or a mixture of both) welcome!

I like the sounds quite a bit but the sonic space is a bit difficult. While its wide (I like that), there seems to be a couple different sound stages. Try bringing them into one space, maybe? The very long reverb or delay on the vocals is nice at some points near the second half but a bit distracting at the front, especially in the way it clutters/blocks the melody. I think the idea is cool there but maybe it needs a bit of an adjustment to shorten the note overlaps. The fade out at the end is smooth but then just cuts to silence. I listened with headphones.

Overall: pleasant and enjoyable.

I totally agree about the delay and reverb in the first half of the track. Very overdone - but I like it after the first half, as you have also noted. Maybe adjust the fx wet levels during the run of the track?

About the fade-out: I do it in Wavosaur and I always get this abrupt ending. It never fades out smoothly and completely. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Or maybe it's something to do with Wavosaur and I need another wave editor.

Thanks for the comments!

I'm in two minds about the delay/reverb. I listened to it 7 or 8 times and sometimes I think it doesn't sound right, other times I think it's OK. As far as the music goes, I think it's great. Lovely composition and good choice of instruments. Very pleasant to listen to.

Good work

If you've listened to the track 7 or 8 times it can't be THAT bad, right? I still think it needs some adjustment though Thanks for the kind comments!

Agreed... Maybe the delays need to be ducked and the reverb needs some mid scoop'ed (mid as in mid/side). Don't know, just thinking out loud...

Nice track anyway.

Thanks n0rd! I went totally overboard with the reverb, I know, but I love ValhallaShimmer so much damnit!

It's the final bumpdown! na na na na! na na na na na!
