Ouverture zauberflote (synchron strings)

[MWE]

Hi all,

I created this a while ago using the latest synchron strings and thought I might as well post it here.

Ouverture

Feedback is kindly appreciated.

Hope you enjoy,

Most pleasing to here that lovely overture again here on the forum.

You did a pretty good job and such an extended piece requires a lot of tweaking en programming. Most of it sounds very well. However, the ochestral balance could benefit from some changes (which are not so difficult). In my opinion the strings in general can have a bit more attention and the balance with the winds should be adapted following the musical content. A single volume for the whole piece doesn't function, certainly not with Mozart, where every phrase has an own meaning and weight. I suggest you listen to a good recording and try to come as close as possible to it as to balance. A second thought is the playing aria. It sounds a bit dull and dry. Maybe aniothre venue could bring some more clarity and livelyness.

But as said, your overal performance is not bad at all!

Hi Jos,

Thanks for taking the time to listen and provide some feedback. I'll try and see if I can bring back some dynamic range and contrast in an alternate mix.

Kind regards,

Martijn
