Could you please hear my music and give me some suggestions?

Hi everyone!
I'm newer here and really happy to find the forum where people can discuss mastering music!

Yes, I'm a student composer and just started exploring digital technology and audio sampling last year.

I have no a teacher to teach me this technology thing and I'm really young with mastering.

I just completed and piece and sent to a couple of friend to wish to get some ideas, both technology and composition.

Some people felt the reverb was too much but after I revised it to the current version:

The others feel too dry or fake now...


To me, I felt the reverb is still wrong with some spots but just couldn't figure it out by myself, besides, I think the sound is not bright enough and kind of dull.

I have my convolution from Vienna Suite, piano from VSL, electric guitar&bass from EW and strings from the combination of VSL and LASS. I know both VSL and LASS are awesome at strings but I'm always unsatisfied with the sound quality even though I've tried different settings of EQ(from Vienna Suite and LASS's IR & TAIL) and reverb (Vienna Suite's Convolution Reverb).

I also use ca bit compressor from Vienna Suite and the audio interface is Duet Apogee. The sequencer is Logic 9.


I list all of my use just because I think this can be helpful when you try to give me suggestions.


Any suggestions are really welcome and appreciated!


Thanks in advance!!

Reverb is supposed to be used on the completed song, not just for the piano.

Youre doing it all wrong !, Render the whole song without reverb, then take the whole song without reverb & add reverb. That is how it should be done. After doing all that, add EQ to your piano since you want your piano to sond louder.
