New (soundtrackish) track for the book project: "Nefeli's Sanctuary For Lost Souls"

[TristezaOrange]

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!

I'm in two minds about the delay/reverb... sometimes I think it doesn't sound right, other times I think it's OK.

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!
