My main problem with this one was getting the different articulations to sound more uniform. I adjusted EQ somewhat, and it helped, but I could still here a gap in the tones. Suggestions for how to fix this.

Also a hat tip to Dr. Dissonance for helping me in my decision to purchase Kontakt 5.

Wish it wasn't so short :C
Such a good piece though. What did you use for the flute just out of curiosity?
Lets make some music whether its trance, dnb, ambient, or something dark, I CAN DO IT :D

Really good! The only thing I'd say is that the harp has more than one string at any one time. Use that more often. Harps sound really good when virtuosic.

One of the goals for this piece was to keep it short and simple. It was done for the most recent toastbeard.

The instruments are from Kontakt 5, which I believe got its orchestral samples form VSL 3(?).

And I should go back and give the harp more to do on the off-hand during the drone.

I have a question, does the flute part sound delayed, especially in the faster notes? Any idea what's going on?
