Big orchestral intro for a heavy metal album...(please critique)

I use Orchestral Strings 1 & 2, Winds 1, Brass 1, Harps, and Percussion - all standard libraries.

Awesome work! Things to mull over: 1. Try increasing the release a bit on your strings. This will reduce the abdrupt cutoffs, particulary in the tremolo passages. (perform, release slider) 2. You may want to add a touch more wet verb signal. (although this is personal taste) Great job, love the brass sound you've achieved!! What DAW do you use?

 Love the idea of the harp under the tremolo strings, and then the sudden entry of all the other instruments. Sounds great! Very effective opening/introduction for a piece of music.

best,
