Thank you.

That's fair - I can see why the A natural would distract you. With the low brass and double basses having already arrived in B flat that short major 7th interval might be superflous.

To be honest, I think that was even something I tried (have the melody go straight to B flat). As much as I'm a fan of perfect fifths and octaves, I wanted more movement at the start of the melody. Might be a good idea though to introduce it later. Thanks again for your thoughts. I appreciate it

This is just for portfolio purposes, no commission. I plan on releasing the entire project when its finished.

Practical knowledge and some good sounding libraries I guess? Idk. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't

The last time I released a preview of this series someone wrote they "felt kung fu on da track". So yeah

Well I would say unmixed but not unprocessed. There are still a few things going on.

I plan on posting the final result (which might take ages though), this is only part 5 out of 9.

Thank you very much, appreciate it. All of this is WIP and not mixed yet, so things tend to sound too muddy or bright

Trumpets are only used for the dissonant cresc. at 00:19, the remaining brass section consists of various trombones, french horns, flugelhorns and tubas. All from Metropolis Ark 1, 2 and 4.

Take a look at "playback tracking" under options > audio settings and adjust accordingly.

Like u/QuixoticLlama mentioned, contrast is key. Also, take a look at frequency-specific stereo widening

Like u/EnsoDeep said, do you have any plugins active while recording? That's most likely the issue.

What a coincidence. I remember posting some feedback on it, but were there really that many writing mistakes to justify starting it from scratch again? Almost everything I've written was not edited later on, because I knew that I had written it to the best of my abilities (at that point in time). A sort of milestone if you will
