Upbeat tune with nice interplay of instruments. Tempo seemed too quick to me or maybe that bass track could be slowed down by half?

That wouldn't work out as well, the bass part is what makes this piece unique

Thanks LadyFuzztail, though I'm not quite sure what you mean; do you think another vocal would be better, or that the vocal part could be arranged more suitably?

I think it's fine, I am just commenting on the fact that it's very common among female pop artists to use i-VI-III-VII (also written as vi-IV-I-V in Major)

Does anyone know where and how can one get SFZ+ Professional in this day and age? I have tried other SF2 soundfont players and could never get the sound quality quite to the same level that SFZ+ Professional had, I HAD the plugin at some point, but after the disaster that is trying the Steam version of Sonar, I was forced to reinstall everything, and unfortunately by the time that happened, SFZ+ is completely gone and no traces of version 1.4 of the plugin could be found. 

I would like to see if Bandlab could work out something to make it available again. If it is modernized to work with the modern version of the DAW, I would have no problems paying for it, I just want the plugin back.

Interesting piece. Started a bit 'manic' for my tastes but I liked it overall. Quite an epic sounding piece. I might vary the lead instrument here and there, the flute seemed a bit over-used by the end.

Yeah, that might be a good idea. This was a way older piece where I had stuff arranged more simply, I think back in...2009?

Scva?

Nice uptempo prog jazz cirque du soleil territory. Very nice indeed. The bass player would stroke out about a minute in. ☺ great composition, though.

Roland Sound Canvas VA. It's a SC-55/88/88 pro/8820 VST plugin. Well worth the money for the wealth of timbres it offers. 

Also, thanks :3

You should copyright that chord progression.  You'd be rich!

vi-IV-I-V Is used everywhere. I used a variation of it myself in On Metal Wings where it goes i-VI-III-VII-III-VII | i-VI-v-VI-VII

Sensitive Female Chord progression aside, you did well with the arrangement.

Took another old MIDI that I composed and recorded it via SCVA

Sure!  Right after the Mac port...

That is actually not a bad idea, considering that Mac OS is based on FreeBSD as well

Will this app ever see a Linux port? It would be nice to be able to do things intuitively there.

Pretty neat arrangement, but it could use a bit of modal variety.

I think this is a fantastic GM synth and I wish that this can be made easily available as an add-on for CWbBL. Perhaps updated to be capable of more than one output per instance?

This is pretty cool, I am loving the crystal clear sounds.

A remake of SFZ+ to compete with Kontakt and SampleTank would be nice too.

I decided to take an old MIDI that I had composed years ago and had been lying around and master it with some editing and re-arrangement of the bass, acoustic guitar and percussion tracks here and there. Used SCVA, Sonitus FX, Cakewalk's Plugins and Amplitube 4.

I am having trouble exporting this song's buses into Bandlab because of the 6 minute limit; this song is 7 minutes long, having a limit of 15 mins would be nice for people like myself who likes to make long songs. Moreover, the 12-track limit is pretty restricting, please increase it to something like 16.

Thank you for listening.
