Hey! Quick tip for editing audio. Those pops and clicks are caused by the waveform not meeting the zero crossing. This usually happens when you cut/paste/edit audio.

Here's a good explanation: http://www.ohdratdigital.com/tutorials-2/zero-crossing-points-what-are-they/

You can use a free program like Audacity to help with audio editing.
Hope this helps!

Haha. What the hell did I just watch?

Hey! Really enjoyed the textural changes as you went from variation to variation! Compositionally, I think I would have liked a change in harmonies. The progression Dm-C got repetitive after a while. Even if you transposed it up to Gm-F at key moments, that would help build energy and momentum into another section/variation.

This piece is like: A-A’-A’’-A’’’-A’’’’ etc etc….
You could try: AABA-A’A’BA’-A’’A’’BA’’ etc etc…. or some kind of variation on this, that adds a harmonic change… That would have made this more interesting for me at least. Does that make sense?

Still, good job on keeping the variations changing with different textures and instruments. If you were purposefully keeping yourself within that harmonic progression, that's really difficult to do...so nice one!

Wayv responds:

It's mostly just inexperience as to why I didn't switch up the variation more. On all my new song ideas I almost never go for less than a 4-chord progression, but it happened whenever I first made this song idea a couple years ago.
So yeah, thanks for the review, and I'm glad you found somethings you enjoyed! :D

Nice. I really enjoyed this. I'm at loss for constructive words right now. I liked all the creepy effects in the background... and just when you got to the end of an idea, you added a new texture, or panning to keep it interesting....especially those static effects around 1:25-1:40 and again at 4:00. The entrance of the main theme at 2:00 is really effective with that LFO(?) effect - it keeps with the vibe you set up around 1:20. I love how it comes back again 4:10. Great stuff! Looking forward to the next one!

Nice composition! I don't hear it as a loop though. The textures at the beginning and end are too different. I definitely hear it developing further, especially into a new key with some more movement, and agree a longer version is needed! Also more reverb, the clarinet is a bit too dry for me ;) Check the verb/delay you have on it currently. Sounds like there's some kind of skip happening after every phrase (before the strings come in).

Thank you for your review and your useful tips!
Yes, I thought the same about those 'skips'. Actually they are not skips, but I automated the volume of the clarinet because I wanted to get rid of that big reverb at least a little bit somehow, it looks like it wasn't the best idea with that automation :D
I made this with EWQLSO Silver and it's a wet library. (It's convolution reverb effect is turned off.) I tried to play with the sample release in PLAY but it sounded even weirder.
I'm planning to buy VSL Special Edition Vol. 1 in the not so far future, because I want a much drier library and it seems/sounds much drier to me opposed to the EastWest stuff. Do you have any tip or suggestions about these libraries? I mean like The usage, different "de-reverbing" methods, etc.?
Too much reverb could be a real issue with EWQLSO if you are not after the big Hollywood film score sounds. :(

Thank for your help,
And have a nice day!
