Lost Memories - an experiment with BBCSO Discover + LABS
Hello,
I made a piece using BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover and some LABS libraries. This piece's inspiration came from 8 memories I'd written a few months ago, which I found again recently by accident sparking a lot of inspiration that made this piece come to light. I'd love to hear your opinions on my piece and ideas on how I could improve it / future compositions.
Here is my piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljrf8Qy_ylE

Hello!
Loved this piece! I really like the creative choices of instruments you've got there, particularly with your LABS ghost handbells at the beginning there (I think!)
Personally, I would a little more low end and bass instrument, to make the overall sound and music much richer!
But nonetheless, good job!

Thank you so much! I wanted to add more low-end but I didn't find a way to add them without ruining the sound.

Hi System64
It's a wonderful piece. I agree with Londoneye330, that some low end would make the overall sound richer.
Maybe 3 cellos and 2 basses? I noticed distortion around 2:40. It can be the Youtube compression.
Kind regards
Flemming

Very nice, @System64 !
But, yeah, horns and choir together seem to send the mix into clipping harshly. Watch out for those. Lower mids can do that to you, when they pile up.
A tip regarding string longs: Automate their CC1 carefully between the notes to get a less synthetic transition. The best trick, however, is to put their "release" to 0 and carefully add a 3rd party reverb to help with the sudden stops, but it beautifully avoids the typical string "sucking" effect between notes.
Overall, though, really a lovely composition! 👍️
