bmarlowe Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Nice arrangement for the 2 finger picked guitars (I think). Strings also really well done - the cello is perfect. Good melody also. Has an Irish/Celtic feel. I would add a bass guitar, but that is just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bajan Blue Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Hi I really like this track - excellent guitars but the vocal is the star - she has a great voice Mix I think is excellent Cool Nigel 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmarlowe Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Hey can you tell me what you used for the cello and strings? I recently used a cello in a mix, it was OK but yours is way better. Thx. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, the strings are from Sonuscore's "The Orchestra Complete" and the Cello is the background celtic waltz cello from Band in a Box ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 This is a very pleasant, but poignant tune. As you said, more relevant than ever. Well done, Pete! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Really liked this a lot everything sounds great to my old ears. Did you add the bass after that person commented about it I most certainly hear an acoustic bass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xoo Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 This is brilliant (reminds me of one of my favourite modern folk bands - Show of Hands). Beautiful voice and near perfect arrangement (I'd fatten up the solo part at after 3 minutes but that's it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Hauntingly beautiful. This is a Very Nice production ! As a cello player , and after hearing this , I just learned the impact of slightly "swelling" the notes and subduing some of the highs normally present in my tracks. I thought I got done mixing a new song using a cello this morning. Now I'm going back in .. Enjoyed it .. mark Edited January 5 by mark skinner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is also something to consider when proofing a mix. I have a little mono Bluetooth speaker I use for the worst case scenario listen. And the bass and kick are one thing it will reveal is not exactly perfect. That and my cell phones speakers. I try and always wear my Bluetooth headphones when listening here on the song forum. They are a bit bass heavy but I’ve “ learned “ them. I just had to listen again with my morning coffee, wonderful, just wonderful as LW would have said.

KSband Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Really pretty song and arrangement. Her voice is beautiful and you did a great job recording it. I guess my only crit is the bass sounds kind of vague on my headphones, I'll take a listen tomorrow on my better system. Great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
