Orchestral Metal [Blackmachine B6, JP-2C]

[ddtonfire]

Finished up a little mini epic of an orchestral instrumental metal track! Used my Blackmachine B6 with a Mesa JP-2C, which is a pretty epic combination. Let me know what you think (mix, mastering, compositing, performance)!

I really liked it. Maybe the solo section around 4.00 could be a little higher in the mix. Sometimes the orchestra is a little bit too present, and those percussion are dull al times, I think you should rework them on velocity. All in all a very good track. What libraries did you used?

@_Drizzt_ thank you so much for the feedback! I'll definitely take that criticism to heart for my future compositions!

I used mostly stock Logic plugins, Omnisphere, and some instruments from the Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra.

I don't really have anything to say about the mix. Sounds great to me.
The droning part around 3:30-4:30 gave me serious Bear Mcreary/ Battlestar Galactica score vibes.

@KnightBrolaire You have a great ear - Bear McCreary's a huuuge influence on me and I was listening to the BSG soundtrack while writing this. Thank you!
