Something is wrong with the link. I'm not sure if this is possible, but you may be on private as well, because I keep getting an error just by looking up your name.

Thanks for telling me but I don't know what happened, because my profile and my tracks are public. I'm looking up in another computer, just in case, but it seems to be ok. I don't know why you're getting an error

I leave you my soundcloud profile so you can search the arrangement in my tracks. Hope you can listen it

Not sure why I wasn't able to find you. Could have been SoundCloud doing maintenance or something. Interesting choice to choose for this remix. I think it better captures the mood of Kapp'n's song. I think of an old town and a sailor that sees a pretty woman. He has no time to meet her because he has to go on a journey. Along the way, as he travels, there comes a heart-wrenching feeling when he thinks of her that he may never be able to resolve.

Is it just me, or is the orchestra panned more widely than normal? The brass felt more wide than usual to me. The piano playing is a little rigid, but still feels realistic. Maybe it's just mixed pretty far forward. I'm not on my good headphones, but that's what I'm hearing. Other than that, this is pretty well done. Good dynamics and harmonies.

Nice, I like it! And I love the source a lot too - great choice.

Okay, yeah, I confirm what I said now that I'm wearing my regular headphones. The piano is mixed pretty far forward, and the orchestra is wider than it is, conventionally. I'd suggest a max overall width of 30% left and right, and for the piano to be mixed further back.

Try listening to

for an orchestra panning reference.

Thanks for the input! I had the brass panned from 30 to 40% depending on the instrument. The orchestra was panned too widely, like you said, I think I over did it. I listened to what you gave me for reference and I made some changes, I think it's better now. I put the piano a little bit down, but I don't know if it is enough.
