my issue with this is that the drum down beats are not in sync with the orchestral sounds consistently, sometimes they are and it's effective what you wish and then, when they aren't, since I find that distracting to what you wish as a musician, then I am drawn to the time issue. :)

Hey Che,
Nicely done, certainly the best thing you've posted this time around.
I reckon Juan's comments on RWP about the arrangement are spot on, so
won't attempt to expound upon those, but there's something nerdier
that might be worth considering. Have you experimented much with
quantize yet? I should say going into this that I'm not one of these
people who quantizes by default, and in many instances where I do use
it, I'll either humanize to a small percentage afterward or manually
reintroduce some imperfections, but I reckon most of these lines
(particularly any instrument with harder attack) could benefit from a
touch of tidying. You could perhaps try quanitizing then humanizing to
something like 5% as a starting point to see if you prefer it.
Both operations are undoable if it turns out I'm full of shit :)
Keep it up man.

Hey all, sorry if you are getting this on the RWP list as well, I wanted to
post to both places, hoping to get more folks to join us here so we can get
more honest evaluation of our music.
So after weeks of working with it in my off time, I finally felt I had
enough experience with Reaper to try my hand at an actual project. I am
going to be submitting this to the Audio Wizards competition in the next
couple of days.
I still need to tweak some timings, and I don't know crap about how to
properly mix and master, so I just have some minor panning and volume
control going on for separation currently, but as far as the feel of the
piece, it is basically finished.
Here's the link to the mp3. don't let the opening flute throw you, it gets
a
bit more interesting soon.
Thanks all for any feedback, positive, negative, or in between.
Che
