These are some very lovely string arrangements, exactly what the song calls for. The percussion is perfect. I was a little afraid to use any myself, as I didn’t think I could find anything without overwhelming the song. But what you did with the drums is very effective.

I would make a small recommendation - it does sound a bit saturated. You might want to ease off on the limiter, compressor, or whatever’s doing that.

Thanks AB! I’m so glad you told me about the sound…I knew something was not ok with it, but I didn’t hear it anymore. So I went back to it with fresh ears, tweaked it a bit, and it sounds better, I think…
Thanks! Very glad you liked it!!!

Really good… Sounds very sad and epic at the same time.. I really like it. Check out AB77 suggestion.. I think he made a point with it.

Thanks Wellman! Admiral was right and you too… I think it’s better now.

love the voicings/chords of the strings (would really love to hear this arrangement with a string quartet!) love the percussion too. is that an acoustic guitar panned about 45 left? it is very quiet, but the part sounds lovely.

I wanted to mix this sad and very beautiful song of yours from the day one, but didn’t know how… but still didn’t want to give up. So, I’m very glad you liked the mix!

ps. acoustic guitar( it’s just couple of notes) is a little louder now :)

Sublime, Alex. What bliss to be swept away by such beautiful sounds. xxxx
