Great opening chord structure with the vocals . Smooth ~ Nice cello breakdown section as well. I thought the entire production was Excellant ! I enjoyed the relaxing groove on this one and the way you slid into the quieter sections. Enjoyed it .. mark

Thanks Guys. I've decided not to do anything else to this except for some mild tweeking and some short vocal humming. The link now reflects a mild remix after downloading room correction software. Now I'll have to save up for new strings .. Later .. mark

I know I'm pretty late to the party .. Just wanted to say what an Excellant job you did on the keys. Great tone and they gelled very nicely with the bass. I thought the drums were nice but maybe a little too bright and a little dry. It did sound like I was in the same room with them though...

Thanks @RFR , I'm thinking it's pretty close. But .. of course I'll have to mess with a few things that probably No one else would be concearned with. @TripleM , appreciate the listen and comment. The fiddle was real and "borrowed" from a mixing tutorial a fellow Cakewalk user recently sent me...

@Bulls Hit , Thank's. And yes , I'm happier with this one than I have been in a long time. I may put some Oohs and Aaas in one section but I don't think I'm going to mess with it much. The drums are MT Power drums. Very easy to use and normally don't need any EQ adjusments etc .. They are...

Hello , here's the first mix of a new instrumental I'm finishing up. I Finally got what I think is a good tone on my Ibanez bass and G&L electric. I've saved them both as a track templates so I won't forget what I did. Pretty lean project , 7 tracks total. Thanks for the listen and any...

Thanks @Eric V and @TripleM . I'm calling this one done and moving on. The link now reflects a mild remix and new master. Lot of the lows were adjusted as well as low mids. Think it's cleaner now. I agree about the piano synth. I was having problems with it and bounced it to audio . So .. I...

Thanks Guys ! @Bulls Hit , I enjoy doing the bass on busy songs. Always an oppertunity to funk things up a little. @LazerBeakShiek , this was a tough one to mix. I had to cut out quite a few parts on diffferent tracks . I'm surprised it came out soothing at all .. @JAPOV , Thanks for the listen...

Hello , here's a new one that's an instrumental for now. Acoustic guitars and piano. The electric G&L Tele style guitar was processed in Bias FX using a Les Paul in "guitar match". This works pretty decent if you have only one electric guitar but would like different guitar sounds. Strat,Tele...

Loved that production. Pretty Epic.. Very unusual vocals especially in the lower register when she first came in. You really got some power out of the choruses. Very impressive. No crits suggestions or complaints. I just Enjoyed it .. mark

Excellent production and powerful vocals ! I Really liked the short breakdowns and guitar changes. The backing female vocals were nice .. On the suggestion side .. I think the only thing I would tweek, would be the amount of detuning chorus on a few of the guitar passages. Enjoyed it .. mark

@JAPOV , Yes the vox is bussed with the same reverb as everything else. I'll take that into account on future songs. Thanks , good observation and suggestion. I've called this one done and it's already released to all the streaming sites. BTW , your last song is Killer ! mark

@packrobottom @TripleM @subvibe @HumanPlanet . Thanks guys for the listen and comments. The link now reflects a new mix and master. The vocal issues were addressed , a lot of tedious editing everywhere, added another cello track to the break. Special "thanks" to Gary Brun from Krakstad Norway...

@packrobottom , @TripleM . Thanks guys for the reply and suggestions. I'm currently working on the concerns you both mentioned. The main tabla track is one long loop. I've been cutting it up, and using fades and automation to try and give it a different feel. The bongos that come in and out...

Hello , here's one I'm just finishing up. It's been in the works for years after watching a documentary about creamations on the Ganges river in India. Strange subject .. I know. Thanks for your time , comments, crits and suggestions .. mark https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14761020
