I feel that this could very well have market potential given a few changes.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>The main thing that struck me more than anything was how this piece would benefit from either a live orchestra (expensive!) or a better sample library such as East West Quantum Leap&#8217;s orchestral libraries. I am reminded of (and actually willing to put money on this having been realized on) Emu&#8217;s 16-bit orchestral ROMpler). Back when I bought one of these in &#8217;93 or so, the sounds impressed me&#8230;nowadays, not so much. EWQL&#8217;s products ARE expensive, but a good investment for a composer with your talent, and I feel that the higher quality sounds and particularly the articulations of each instrument would make your work very marketable indeed, especially in the game\/AV fields.In addition, the mix sounded a bit flat to me&#8230;all the instruments seemed to be the same volume or nearly so, so the main themes got somewhat lost and were fighting with the other parts for the listener&#8217;s attention&#8230;also, some judicious reverb would have given the sound more depth.All in all, a very promising work! I look forward to hearing more from you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: Lars Michnevich, a.k.a.
