    First..sorry for my bad english!

    I wanted to explore some orchestration techniques so I made this short piece. I think I was inspired by the music from The Elder Scrolls a lot;)

    any comment/suggestion/criticism is extremely welcome!
    Thanks!

    Great Sound. The melody is very dynamic.
    Great composer.

    Well Chapeau monsieur, very beautiful

    Only one little advice, you should be careful with the reverb on the oboe and the harp. It is at the limit of saturation at some moment.
    If this reverb don´t come with the sample you could equalize it with a little less hi and medium frequencies.
    Or you can change to another "smoother" reverb, like a Lexicon, for example.

    And the violin that comes at 1:48 if it was a little mixed a little more "inside" it would mix better with the other 2 violins lines before and after it.

    Pretty cool, I can imagine it playing while I'm in a village or something. :thumbsup: The violin could indeed benefit from a more roomy sound and more dynamic velocities at each bowing but it's good overall.

    Nicely done, it definitely sounds like something you'd hear in Skyrim. What sample libraries did you use to create this?

    Thanks so much for your detailed advice!! Yes I need to be more careful on mixing. I will try Lexicon reverb and change some EQ setting.

    Thank you for your comment!
    In this track I have used Hollywood strings and brass, Vienna OPUS1 Kontakt version and the solo violin is from EWQL Gypsy.
