Lovely bit of late evening chill that - nicely done - very enjoyable.
Lead nylon guitar has a lovely tone - please tell me that's the real thing and not a VST.

Made in China I can live with, shipped from China is another matter as it can take six weeks. I got one called GreenCell in the end and seems to be working well so far.

I get a few wrongly labelled spam mails but generally the Gmail filters seem to work pretty well. Sadly my email was in the MyFitnessPal breach a few years back and ever since then I get a constant feed of crap.
I use BitDefender anti spam as an additional control via an Outlook plugin so maybe that helps. ?

So good they should use it on the credits or for a highlight reel of the race. ?
How do you play that stuff?? Your technique reminds me of Blackmore...
Keep on rockin'

Sounds great - I quite like a long intro - the vocals have great presence and the guitar work blends in really well.
Enjoyed the listen

These are synthetic vocals? ?
Sounds pretty impressive to me - nice guitar tone - really great job.Andy

Bit of a Smokey Robinson vibe for me there Rex - sounding good - lead guitar sounds a little thin to me and maybe could use some FX behind it just to give it some shimmer or sparkle.

I deleted the original tracks because they were unlicensed working drafts, but I have now done an official licensed cover version via DistroKid. No changes to the previous mix, so if you've already listened, please feel free to move on. ?
However, if you want to have another listen - or missed it first time around - here you go:
It should be on Spotify and iTunes as well somewhere - I'm not very good with this music publishing stuff. ?

AI vocals - now that is interesting and uncannily lifelike - although when you know, you can kind of tell. Interesting project indeed - thanks for sharing.

Minor crit - I'd go for a softer and more subtle string sound - really excellent vocal work as always.
Great work

Whenever they make the next prequel (or sequel) - I rather lost track after The Empire Strikes Back - they have to use this in it somewhere. ?
'The Prophet's Arrival' - not a bad working title...
Love the transitions in this - always takes you where you least expect to go

Came back for a second listen - I enjoyed the original but I think this version is even better - video was just great and really added some context (I think I could create something similar from my own family history).
Great job!

Superb lyrical craft coupled with a sublime vocal, oh and the rest of it wasn't too shabby either... ?
Great job!

Just to clarify, I wasn't having trouble hearing the lyrics. However, knowing Tom's songwriting skills of old, there are probably a few nuggets of gold in there I might have missed and would like to admire for nothing more than the sheer poetry of it.
I am a sucker for a good lyric.

Lovely ePiano intro Tom and the bass tone is gooorgeous - drums are up in the mix for sure (as is the trumpet) but I kinda like them there. I thought the vox level was about right (listening on my AA Hi-X60 cans). I wasn't expecting the funky guitar, not sure the wah quite works for me but equally I'm not sure what I'd replace it with - maybe something a tad more driven with just a bit of grit - minor crit, taste and fancy stuff.
Really cool track - I wouldn't mind a read of the lyrics either.
Great work

Great track Nigel - the bass is stellar.
I got the message loud and clear - very on point as ever.
Terrific work
Andy

Clever use of lyrics as always and very catchy too - really well performed - enjoyed that.

Very much captured the prog feel - I could hear shades of early Genesis (as in Trespass kind of early).
Much to like in here - guitar playing was wild - a project to be proud of for sure. ??

Your information has enlightened me, and I'm grateful. Just still on the edge and will wait for more information from others before making a decision.
No worries, happy to help. I get it, lack of a demo version doesn't make it any easier to decide.

P.s. you can use other VSTs with EzKeys, I tend to prefer Pianoteq than the EzKeys pianos.

There is no best, just difference (albeit with a little crossover).
EzKeys is functionally much richer and deeper than Scaler imho. The quality of the instruments in EzKeys is better (but these cost extra and for many are not the primary appeal).
There are a lot of midi packs for EzKeys (or you can use your own midi loops) covering every genre you can think of - these are also add on cost and can become both addictive and expensive; look for six-pack deals.
Scaler will take you deep into music theory so great for both practitioners and those keen to learn. It has a more limited composition grid but can produce very usable midi parts played by external VSTs - you just have to get your routing right.
Both have a lot of online videos that show you the key features. For me, EzKeys ability to take a simple chord track and play in the style of multiple midi packs is a great feature and the best customisable virtual session pianist I have found.
I have both and enjoy them equally but I use them differently. I will admit to using Scaler less since EzKeys 2 came out. If I could only have one, I'd definitely keep EzKeys but others may disagree.
My advice, spend some time on YouTube before you decide, no doubting that Scaler is fabulous value for money and is often discounted.

Mixing with headphones vs monitors

I have the same ones and mix on them almost exclusively - for two reasons:
So I think you can get decent results mixing on cans (others who have listened to my output my well disagree) but you certainly won't be short of opinion - that's for sure.
Good luck with it.
