Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate your comment on the synth vox - the single vocal is Realitone's Blue and the choir is SoundIron's Requium Lite, both are modern sampled libraries. Perhaps I need to pay more attention to their presentation/EQ so they don't sound so synth-y. I'm almost certain I didn't quite have the vocal expression figured out yet in this piece, so the natural vocal swells most likely weren't right and that could have contributed as well. Actually, my biggest nit was too much hammer sound in the piano, and I couldn't EQ it out enough without totally destroying the piano. It's a fairly good free piano library, but that sound bugs me, enough that it motivated me to ditch it in favor of a purchased a piano library where I can control the [pedal, hammer, etc] sounds. Now I just use the free one for sketching. Anyway, I digress. Thanks for the comments everyone!

Very awesome, your orchestral mix is good and the tune is interesting all the way through. What piano library did you use? What I do to embed the SoundCloud here is: 1. Go to the track on SoundCloud. 2. Click the "Share" button under the track. 3. Copy the URL. 4. Paste it here, and give it a few seconds. The forum software will recognize it and automatically create the player. 5. Add any other text under the player. Graphics note: The player will use the middle portion of the cover graphics in the player, so you'll want to place any text like song title or other important/branding graphics in about the middle third. I had to experiment and re-upload to find the right positioning. When I got the text where I wanted it, I saved the graphics as a template (I'm using Gimp to create my cover graphics).

Thanks for the response. I understand this is more of a Cakewalk forum so I was just taking a shot that someone might have known since BandLab is now coupled to it and I'd seen a few of the Songs forum with links there. Meanwhile I discovered that you can upload your own mastered track on top of the stems for the same revision, and that seems to be the best solution for the presentation I'm looking for. Problem solved.

I like this allot. Well done!

Hi All, When I release a song, I export my (main) busses as stems to BandLab so to help facilitate others creating derivative works. As part of this workflow, I do my mastering on the Master buss. I do not use BandLab's mastering as I'm not happy with the results for my soundtrack/orchestra genre and I need to do it anyway for release to other outlets (SoundCloud, YouTube, etc). When BandLab Assistant uploads my track, it appears that BandLab mixes all the busses together equally to create the audio that plays in the site. However, I would like to include the Master buss with my mastering so that it has the proper loudness and EQ for listening in BandLab, but I'm concerned it will just get mixed with the other busses and essentially "double", clip, or mis-represent the presentation of the piece. My question is this: Is the BandLab site smart enough to recognize there is a "Master" channel/buss and not mix in the others for presentation?

Nice tune. Adding the clarinet is a nice touch and the accents on the strings give them realism. I also like the "fluttering" panning ostinato in the background. I can see this easily translating to a chamber strings ensemble or orchestra.

I actually thought it was going to be a Billy Joel cover - but then the fun began! I'll second that forwarding to people I know.

Thanks for the comments everyone, it's good to hear I'm on the right track (or buss - I hate when I get on the wrong bus). @garybrun, @Wookiee, @Douglas Kirby - thanks for the read on your monitors. I'm currently stuck with headphones mixes until we can get into a house and I can get my own room for my studio, so it's a constant battle with mix, check everywhere I can, rinse and repeat. @Amicus717 I recently learned the technique of pulling down both as a transitional and contrast element. I like using it (especially now since I have a decent library of cinematic percussion), so you'll start to hear it used more in my later pieces coming soon to a discussion topic near you. @noynekker - Pun taken and enjoyed!

Hmm... I'm getting a "Page Not Found".

I really like this. The groove and the organic feel to the cello impossible to get from sampled libraries.

May be short as you say.... but you packed allot of fun in those 58 seconds!

Loads of fun!

Very well done indeed! The multiple camera angles and PIPs were very interesting, especially seeing the main and harmony guitars playing at one. It was also cool to see Cakewalk in the background.

I've always loved this song. Nice cover.

Cool! That gave me some inspiration for some kind of space-ambient-chill-orchestral tune. Thanks!

A dulcimer provides the base for the orchestra as it marches ahead in this 110 BPM piece with heavy horns and a big ending. Playing catch-up in this forum section - I'll space them out so as not to spam the group.

@57Gregy Thanks. Fortunately these stereo tracks were just side channels to the vox for thickening, so it seemed allot less work to just add a slap back delay instead. I may have to do the splitting technique if I get sent more "important" stereo tracks. I would be interested though to figure out if I hit a bug and get it reported, but I didn't see a specific forum section that wan't specific to the latest release.

Hello, I have a some audio tracks imported to my project from a collaborator that I need to fine pitch correct so that they are in tune with my accompanying VST instruments. In clip properties, I select Groove Clip, click "Stretch to Temp" and set the Fine Pitch to 17.5. This works great on the imported mono tracks, but when I do the exact same for the imported stereo tracks, the is gradually slows the track putting it out of time with no way to correct it. Has anyone else run in to this? Thanks!
