In case this is important to anyone:

I didn't actually notice anything wrong with it - it felt quite natural that as the tempo slowed down a bit, that the instruments thinned out a little also to indicate a winding down of the song. It is different from the pace of the rest of the song, but not in a bad way.

Love it Mark. You've got some great playing there.

Great playing Makke - you've got a really cool, laid back tone - really nice.

Great song! Really like the intricate guitar playing, and the contrast it makes with the relatively sparse verses.

You've done it again Bjorn! Really atmospheric. I agree too that the guitar actually sounds good in there; it seems quite normal that clean(ish) guitar tones are used cinematically to convey a sense of emptiness, and so that's why I think it actually sounds 'spacy' in this context. Well done!

This is an amazing song Gary - both the music and the message is beautiful. I think the limiter might be a bit hot in the remix. For this type of music, I personally prefer the extra dynamic range and cleaner sound of the original, though I thought the vocal stood out a bit from the piano/strings in that mix. It might be an idea to gently compress the piano/strings, and also the vocals as two separate groups, and then gently compress them again in the final stage; please ignore if I'm telling you something you already know - no malice intended.

Let us know how it responds please (e.g. load times, playing experience, CPU/memory usage)

I think I've found their greatest weakness to be long loading times - hopefully soundpaint can load a bit more quickly

USB and SD cards are actually viable though; almost no-one has a floppy drive anymore, and the data limit is 1.4mb - some hyper compression needed there 😁

Love the fact that you can answer Floppy Disc to On which media do you release your music/tracks?

It's nice - sparse but effective arrangement. The lead guitar might benefit from a tiny bit of humanisation/randomisation, and the note attacks sound quite rigid on the faster phrase openings. I enjoyed the listen though - well done!

Nice blues shuffle, with a good story. Great playing too!

Comet's my current go-to for lush and long tail reverbs. I get the idea that Eventide's reverbs may be more versatile, but I don't want an iLok.

You've got a great sound there - tight timing with lots coming through the mix well. I like the contrast between the almost retro/atmospheric sound of the intro/outro, and the rocking main part. Great tune!

I like how it starts quite instrumentally and rhythmically thin, but then builds up over time and becomes quite energetic and bubbly in the middle - sort of like travelling from the less dense fringes of a nebula, through the centre where there'd be more activity/material, and then out again towards the end. Great tune Wookiee.

This is from their Soundcloud page: I don't fully understand their marketing spiel, but I think it's either modelled, or is something like a wavetable synth.

Interesting... I originally thought Soundpaint was like an all-in-one synth. Seems like it's more like Kontakt, or Pianoteq - i.e. an engine with sound packs?

Welcome back, Larry! Hope all is well.

ok... so it's not what I'm thinking - that doesn't mean it's not what I'm hoping. I guess I'll hope for something like either VocalScape, or GuitarScape, but I guess I think it's a collection of Spectrasonic desk/shelf ornaments. 😜

Get the one with the expansion pack - it's cheaper, and you get more

Very cool, jazzy tune; I like it. Nice key modulation about half way through too. The mix is good. I might suggest bringing the cymbals up a little. Also, I can occasionally hear some subtle compression pumping artefacts. There are no rules about mixing, but as this is a jazzy tune possibly try easing up a little on the compression ratio and letting the mix breathe a bit more naturally.

They're different beasts. Scalar is a music theory tool that's useful for beginners and the more experienced too, which lets you experiment with different chords with chord substitution suggestions; Riff Generation is more of a 'press for magic' generator with some very nice built in sounds. Disclaimer: these are simplistic descriptions to show the difference between the two programs; both can be very effective tools

Just checking - do you mean Rewards money? Deluxe Bucks are the reward points at AudioDeluxe that I personally find quite useful.

Now that you mention it, yes - that sound's vaguely right
