Freedom Fighter - BBCSO Pro and Abbey Road ONE

Yeah, going for the epic adventure. Seems to tick a number of boxes quite very well. But, you know... if you allow me to, as awesome as the sounds truly are and brought into very solid harmonic composition, if they come out the same way again and again with so little dynamics, especially the brass sections, horns and all, it sort of turns oddly flat, even though it's right in front of the face, it's like squashed against it. Like as if you painted a landscape and forgot the atmospheric perspective with all the colors at full saturation everywhere at all times. If the brass had somehow more modulation or nuance, I don't know, maybe it wouldn't be so apparent, but it kind of reveals their digital nature. Wished they had the occasional growl in them or accidental inflections of sorts.

Musically there's everything right with it, really, it's what it is, totally unapologetic. That makes it so weird for me to give you any feedback like this, but I hope you can forgive me for pointing out things I notice at first listen. The tutti bursts feel a little "long", like they would want to be tighter, snappier. As they have such a long release it kind of melts them together against the action they suggest, if you know what I mean.

All in all, it's definitely amazing, I mean... what glorious sound and you've smashed it with the scale for sure. Total blast for me to listen to it and dare ponder any potential improvements. But, yeah, think about dynamics, maybe, allow an explosion to have a "fuse", if you know what I mean, some depth also to take even more advantage of the amazing libraries you get to use.

Above all else: Thanks for sharing, Keith, it's inspiring! 👍️
