Re: [LAU] Music made with linux: Or how an infinite number of monkeys came up with this.

Hello Andrew! I suppose improving your brass - and woodwinds - is due to playing. You might distribute your brass across the stereo spectrum. If you have chords break them up, not in the middle, but in a nested sort of way, something like: C G eb c If you want it even more lively than that, when changing chords, do it not all at once - if it feels good at the time -, but drag the notes one by one. Or when you hit the new chord, start with a sus4 and from there go to the minor chord. I found the staccato clarinet part in Infinte nice. It sounded real. perhaps it was just played as a real clarinet player would do it. Oh another short thought: I think you had a lot of octaves in the brass, avoid them a bit more. I can't help myself, but especially when sampled libraries are used, this sounds extra canned. These are just thoughts, opinions I gained by simple experience over time. They may not really fit your bill or there maybe other better suggestions. I suppose mainly it comes down to: Think of what the instruments can play and how they'd do it and roll with it.
