Positive Comments: The first thing that jumps out at me is the harmonic structure of this piece. Beautiful. I really enjoyed that cloud as the vehicle on which to take this journey.The instrumentation is quite nice. I’m pondering what else I would use if I arranged this for a different recording. I can think of no other instruments except those used here. I’m enamored of the instrumentation.The arrangement is powerful. Good structure. (build, instruments added at crucial times, etc)Thank you.
Constructive Comments: Use mastering dips to allow the instruments to live in their own space a bit better. Overall, I love the instrument choices. I just wish I could experience them more fully.Synth voices can spread in certain frequency ranges find those ranges and corral them. Use a meter over the whole performance, find the offending frequencies, and either limit just that small bit or eq that. Maybe slight compression and pull back in the mix a little bit.Mix a bit more room space around that guitar…Upper mid-range is heavy with many voices. Find the dips where each can live. It’s tough…
