Beautiful. I really enjoyed that cloud as the vehicle on which to take this journey.The instrumentation is quite nice. I&#8217;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&#8217;m enamored of the instrumentation.The arrangement is powerful. Good structure. (build, instruments added at crucial times, etc)Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>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&#8230;Upper mid-range is heavy with many voices. Find the dips where each can live.
