Comments: This just started out as a simple peice that went through twice but I was encouraged by a friend to extend it so I made it loop and then added on the ending. This was all done by recording through a midi port.

Though it's not a bad cover and creates a decent feel, this isn't interpretive compared to the original. Pretty empty at times, yet not emotive enough to make that sparseness work to the track's benefit. The winds at :45-1:14 & 1:32- are REALLY overpowering versus the other instruments. Tone 'em down a bit. Anyway, forget it. This is just a cover with relatively minor additions, so no dice, kid.

Ack piano is too loud and mechanical. Delay doesn't help either. Piano is too bright and there's no attention paid to velocities. Plonk plonk plonk. That's what it sounds like. Flute is WAY too loud and resonant, and its attack sucks.

Repetitive and not very interpretive.

NO

oof, yes. Please, focus on really giving the piece your own interpretation and unique arrangement. There's a lot of great material to use. As it stands (which is not surprising based on what you said), it's quite plain and boring. Low quality samples, no real structural focus, poor processing, bad EQing/mixing.. just keep trying.

NO
