I agree jack....the bass guitar tone/sound is not right either....I am going to redo this whole song as it is a shortened edit and I really am not satisfied with the work I did on it....the song deserves better from me....thanks for listening to it and your comments 👍👍🎵🎼

Yes I agree it's worth more time! Nice tune, I was hearing a Pink Floyd direction as a possibility. Percussion would be welcome as well. I look forward to hearing where this one goes. It has a nice mellow vibe.

Very relaxing. Yes it needs  extra work on it, but the feeling is good.

Thank You Tom....i am still learning the important in's and out's of working with a DAW....for example, last night i was wondering why the guitar in the latest project sounded so terrible, turns out i had turned on Automation for one thing and forgot to turn it off so i had, like, psycho automation (!!!!)  going on with all four EQ's in the Pro Channel EQ module for the guitar track, little things i have to learn to be a lot more careful about....i think that's what happened with Seems Like Forever 🎶🎙️🎷🎸

I Liked it and hope to hear a remix. This would also be a nice vocal song ..     mark

It's the rare tune that falls out of your head already finished and polished up nice and neat. This has some good ideas in it that deserve  development. In particular the guitar break at the end is really nice and is the beginning of a nice bridge.  Looking forward to what you come up with!

Thanks mark....the acoustic guitars must be redone as if you listen close you can hear me breathing through my nose throughout the track....this is the first song i tried using a microphone (Shure PGA58....the cheap one) to record acoustic guitars and i didn't even know i was breathing so loudly, let alone the mic recording it....i may be able to just re-record the two acoustic guitar tracks as i really don't want to redo everything but if so it's more experience.....most of the songs i have posted here were written with lyrics but as i can't sing i'm reworking them into the ambient pop style....Thanks again 👍👍🎶🎸

Well done nice instrumental music. pleasant and relaxing ambiance.

Good orchestration and arrangement with enjoyable soundscape.

[antler 1,261]

Sounds good Larry! I especially like the bridge section where there's a slight change in theme for contrast, and a slow-down/cut back in instrumentation.

[DeeringAmps 1,660]

looking forward to the finished project...
