Cheers, you did a brilliant job, even it wasn`t planned that way. Yes, I can imagine how exciting it was to work on this track. I can hear all the lovely details and elements. Everthing sits smoothly together and the track develops more and more in its intensity. niclely how you mixed that drummer in backround, without the need to hear it louder. very very very beautiful.

I think the drums sound really good in here and it's cool that they helped spark your creativity in some different directions.  You really make the various samples work for you.  I haven't delved much into the world of sample libraries, but you make a strong case for their merits.  An all-out salsa track would be really interesting to hear sometime.

Fun to just go in any direction you want, and it paid off, great piece. Drums sound great, nice to hear those in your track, cool bass, piano is telling a good story. Then the orchestral comes in - so nice! I've played around with Abeltons orchestra packs a bit, brass and strings, even mallets I think. Some good stuff there too. Good to know about the spitfire project though.

Dude, thank you so much for another tip on free shit!  Just filled out the survey!

Wild track this week man, its so intense.  The instrumentation is so perfect, its really like professional film music quality.  Love the little descending synth line that keeps evolving throughout.

Some nice and spooky chords here! Those drums sound sweet too, you could probably bring them out more in the climax.

Damn dude, you crushed it. Don't worry about drums so much, I've heard terrible drums, in chiptune drums are usually just noise waves, the 808 exists for some reason; these drums are amazing.

If there were one thing that ought to be added to this, it'd be a choir (e.g. the spitfire one) to really bring home the glory.

Yah I def was being tame with the drum mix.  I was afraid of either leaving too much of an annoying frequency from the rides in there or just having it sound too loud.  I need to get a bit more comfy with mixing acoustic stuff.  Also the chords bordered on Thom a bit this week I thought.  I can't remember which RH track though. 

Ha funny you mention that, I did load the choir at one point towards the end but my computer and audio interface were getting a lil chunky.  I had to change the buffer size and everything which I'm not used to doing. So I let the quarantine_choir sit this one out.  

PS That chimp_gif is exactly how I looked playing the piano just more hair on the face less on the head

DOH I accidentally cut out my thanks and the reply about the bassline.  With all the excitement from the original description I failed to mention that it was the seldom used Bass Station2 I have.  I tend to end up using it just as a midi controller since it sits conveniently on my desktop where as my Roland piano_thingy is to my left (leading to a crooked neck). 
Thanks everyone for your kind comments and listening
