Very nice.
It sounds beautiful- very delicate. The only critiques I can offer is that I'd like to hear a cello or cello section around 1:05 ish, just to provide some bass. SVC Leg Vib would work great here. I can't say I'm a big fan of the marcato low waltz-y strings that come in a little later- they sound just a bit fake. Other than that though, great job!
I probably could have made the strings sound a little more realistic if I'd spent some more time tweaking effects and EQ'ing, but for a little bit more realism I don't think the extra time would have been worth it.
Thanks for the feedback!

Great job!
You've done an epic job on this piece, Nick! I do have a few critiques, but on the whole I really enjoy what you've done here.
At 0:20, I'd drop a low, quiet F# octave in the left hand, just to give the string entrance a little more emphasis.
Your cymbals sound just a bit dry in comparison to the other instruments; perhaps just a touch more reverb on those?
The fade-out of the violins/violas playing the main theme at 1:46-1:49 ish is a little too quick- perhaps you could start the fade earlier.
The violin at the end of the piece sounds great (is that the Gypsy violin?) but it probably should rest for a beat or two at 2:30- just to provide a little bit of contrast.
Anyway, all of these are just tiny nitpicks- I loved the piece as a whole!
Awesome Work!
NOTE: This is not going to be a monster review, sorry. :)
This was a great piece, and the flute lead in was great. I loved the build up, but perhaps you could lower the volume just a bit on the brass? Also, on the bass that plays at the beginning, I think you should perhaps lower the attack, so it kind of fades in. Also, the snare drum, at the very beginning of its part, seemed a little off? I'm not sure whether that's because it was syncopated or wasn't quite in time. Finally, perhaps you should have a louder string background around 0:38?
Anyways, this was an awesome piece, and my nitpicks probably might only improve in marginally. Favorited, 5/5, and 10/10.
Thanks for the review, man! Don't worry, there's only room for so many monster reviews on NG xP. Glad you liked the song, and looking back, I'll have to agree with your nitpicks, although I don't seem to see anything wrong with the snares. I'll check again, maybe you're right. Thanks again for the review, glad you enjoyed the piece!
Great!
I liked it a lot! The only thing I would suggest would be to have a little resolution at the end, maybe at the third beat of the last measure. I know it's a loop, but I think that might add to it.
Hey, thanks for the review, Joerao! I could give that a try - I think it'd be a nice touch to the loop ^^. I'll see what I can do, thanks again for the review!
Hilarious, and very weird
This is just insane, as in hilarious.
Beatiful...
There's not much to say other then the fact that this is a brilliant piece. You're a great composer. I'm curious- do you do any orchestral work, or is it mainly ensemble?
I do work for all groups. Thanks :)
Epic awesomeness and great sound quality
This piece is probably one of my favorites on NG as of now. The instruments sound amazing, (it makes me want to get EWQL SO) especially the strings. My only critique is that it could get a little faster and build to a little bit of a climax toward the end, and I think it should be a bit longer.
Great, but the melody can use the work
I love the piece overall, but the melody (it's in E minor and Eb minor, right) gets a bit repetitive near the end.
