the mix/technical aspects are right on .....beautiful, interesting progression/combination of motif's....asian > celtic > rock/light industrial > classical....great work, sir....enjoyed it ????

Here's a link to You Tube:

Sounds great....enjoy listening to that piece....ready for market, good luck!!!! ????

Very nice vocal piece....you may find Sarah Kirkland Snider's "Penelope" interesting as the musical focus is very much what you are doing in Unending Love....here's a link: https://www.allmusic.com/album/sarah-kirkland-snider-penelope-mw0002045465 ????

Great job all around ???️?

Great job on playing all the parts, vox and recording....the mixing will come in time....watch Mike's and John's videos and you will be surprised at how easy the mixing, mastering and Cakewalk DAW tricks become once you learn them ????

outstanding ????

excellent piece with the lead guitar being outstanding.....was that tapping around the 3:00 mark?? ???? there is a piece of music you might find interesting on You Tube by a group called Farmer's Market called "Slav to the Rhythm", about 7:14 long...it's pretty much jazz fusion but with heavy lyrical musicality incorporated....the guitars come in around the 4:00 mark cheers!!!!

awesome music....totally engaging video....notes while enjoying: great electric piano intro....finally, maraca's!!, i love maraca's....nice clavinet, wasn't expecting that at all but fits perfectly....great horns, maybe down a dB or so....nice drum entrance....nice riffing on synth....great entrance by trumpet....and they all come together at the end....the serenity of distractions, indeed!!!! ????

Hi....so, along with the instrumental version (ambient pop music) i made a version with vocals (yes, it's me vocal chords ?)....so, if you want to please post observations, comparison notes, critiques, anything you feel worth noting....all the links are on the Original Post here at the top of page 1 ????

First mix?....are you kidding?....that song sounds great from beginning to end....tasteful strings, great vocal, nylon guitar sounds great, tremolo guitar sounds great....my nitpicks: a soft trumpet would be nice, maybe a harmonica just to see if it would fit....beautiful work Mark ????

the vocal could come down 1 or 2 dB's maybe, purely a matter of taste....my ears enjoy your voice so i like the level in the master....generally when a record arrives to market the voice is way good enough to be mixed louder than or, at least, a few dB's above, the rest of what's there....very few major artists need to bury their voices but one exception i always recall is David Bowie's "Watch That Man", his vocal is mixed way lower than normally done ????

i listened to the Master....your voice rocks, you got it....harmonies are good but the voice singing with you is too low to get a good read on some of the time (this is called nitpicking lol!!!!)....the music sounds great....this recording is ready for market as far as my ears and wallet can tell....Good Luck!!!! ????

totally interesting piece....i'd bring down the vocals volume at the beginning....which does seem to gradually decrease to where it sounds good to my ears around the 1:50 mark....vocal volume increase around 2:50 a bit too much....the music is excellent, basically a drone with rhythm and the synth melody wandering nicely over everything around 4:20....so, strictly my subjective taste....an excellent composition overall ????

Aother good one....i like the sound of the mix on this ????

this piece is a great template to use for growing to a bigger, more developed, yet still simple end result if that's what you are looking to do....the groove is nice but needs more music (sax, piano, vibes) and length....as to what genre to classify under, dunno....lo fi, acid jazz, trip hop ????

Hi Peter....in case you haven't heard about a You Tube channel called #creativesauce i strongly suggest checking out Mike Enjo's video tutorials on the Cakewalk by Bandlab DAW as with those videos and this Forum you will have all the info you need to get up to speed very quickly....here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/creativesauce

congrats on the piano....very nice composition you have written there....beautiful intro....like how it picks up a bit around the middle....enjoy it very much ????

great song and great job on all of it....singing, back ground vocals, arrangement, all of it ????

very tasteful and thoughtful combinations of piano, synths, percussion, EQ'ing and so forth....enjoy listening to it ????

very, very good version....your variations of the original's timing and rhythm choices throughout the song are exceptionally well done as is your drumming....as far as i can hear there are parts i would aux track, re-EQ and volume automate to get a different end result, but this is your work so it comes down to what you hear and perceive as the best presentation ????

this is a most interesting, informative post....the song is great, well arranged, played, recorded, now it's just a question of ears and taste as to how it will wind up sounding....i can offer the perspective that most all of my stuff is recorded totally in the green, no yellow nor red in any meter whatsoever, the most tracks i've used is 32, i have used the absolute minimum amount of saturation, limiting, compression, tube emulators, etcetera....i rely on EQ'ing and volume automation along with recording each different drum, guitar, synth, piano, organ, etcetera piece on their own individual track for maximum audio manipulation so as to achieve maximum audio clarity and maximum overall song presentation.... as i've only been doing this for about 5 months listen to the professional's comments....please, carry on ????

Hi Michael....very nice work....enjoy listening to it ????

Hi John, real nice song there, imho: shorten one or more of the verses, bring up/add some jangly piano, add a fiddle, try adding a tambourine, your voice has a nice Levon Helm feel and the harmonies rock ????

Hi Jerry....beautiful and brilliant, as always....a writer once reviewed a new Beatles album back in the mid/late sixties and remarked on their "compulsive creativity" which is a description i think also applies to your musical abilities as well ????
