Incredibly rich sounding string-pads, although for some reason I feel them to be a bit too loud and too rich. I find them rather repetitive and too much working on the same notes. I would have loved to see more variation on the strings.

The bassey sound starting at 0.24 I felt as if it didn't work with the rest of the sounds, the sequence was okay, but try finding a different sound for that or put way more expression into it with filterenvelopes and lfo modulation.

The sequence that starts at 0.14 is a very cool one and I feel there can be gotten way more out of that one. It stays audible through-out the tune, but with the huge low drive on the kick (perhaps cut the decay on that a bit more) and the rich strings it is struggling greatly to stay on top, where I feel it belongs.

All in all a quite okay track, but I feel a lot needs to be trimmed and tweaked in the separate sounds to obtain a better balance.

Very good sounding one

Just a litle musical advise on the string.
You could use some inversions on the existing chords, this would make it less repeating.

as i've already made my point about strings http://www.kvr-vst.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=609580
I'm not even gonna DL this........
guitarists don't use keyboards to play the guitar. Either do string players!

Why don't u try thinking about how they actually play their parts? Isn't that what we do with drums when we wanna make it sound like a drummer?

Well, welcome to Kvr

You are right with the point of making constuctive critism, but there are different ways to do it

I don't want to give moral lessons, still I have the experience (been a music teacher for some years now) that when you say to somebody 'not bad, you could even make it better that way' is a better way to let people progress then saying 'this is completly wrong'.

Just an opinion of an old men here

honesty you say ?

ok, your talking complete shit and you know it.

keyboard players don't use keyboards to play guitar.

welcome to the modern world, it's not all that bad.

you may adjust eventually, just don't add ingredients to your personality and you will fine.
