I experimented with a spectrum analyzer (Voxengo SPAN) and eq on the strings this week, and it can get overwhelming very quickly, so I'll try to remedy frequency problems with the arrangement for now.
I figured to do a checklist on what I'd like to change, hopefully I'll finish it the next week.
- rewrite melody parts with correct instrument doubling
- rearrange the sustain strings for more movement (the pizzicato and cor legno parts are fine in my opinion, but I plan to add textural arpeggios on the celli)
- rewrite the middle part and implement breaks / silence between parts
- ditch the choir for the most parts, only leaving it in at the end
- rewrite the percussion parts to sound more unified
- pay attention to balance and panning
- use reverb with the 3 channel reverb bus method
Thanks for all the help so far, hopefully this track will turn out to be listenable at the end.
