Sorry so long to reply. Thanks so much @Bajan Blue, @treesha,@MichaelJohn, @bjornpdx @equality, @jack c. and @AndyB01 for the listens and kind observations 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵

You are outstanding at writing music with the perfect amount of dissonance in the chord/instrument voiceings, the kind of writing Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter and Donald Fagen excelled at 🎶 👍

Gary, this is a great song with great performances and vocals 🎶 👍

Thanks so much for the listen. I'm always trying to write different arrangements than chorus, verse, chorus etc, or, at least augment them with an unexpected section that fits. I spent days getting the drum timings right from 1:04 to 1:26. I found that by using the bass notes in the track section wave to sync the piano roll view drum hits and midi si-bass notes to was the easiest way. I've never heard of the Audio Transients feature and how to use it so, thanks for the heads up, I'll read up on it 🎶 🎶

Hi All. Here's Triangle, a guitar based alt instrumental. Feel free to post any observations of it.

Thank You Andy. Appreciate the listen 🎶

Thanks Steve. Yes, it's a hi-hat. iirc, i used verb and delay as well as sending to an aux track and doing some EQ'ing. Appreciate the listen 🎶

Thanks Nigel. I'd love to see a ballerina compose a performance to this, some day...lol! ?

Thanks Steve. I will give it another listen ?

Thank You Jack?

Thanks! What a difference 2 years make, of course, compared to what you and a few others here can do I still have a long way to go?

Hi All. Here's another comparison. The song is Ballerina. The first mix I published in May, 2022. The new one is from this month. If you ever doubted the importance of mixing this will show how important it is. Hope you enjoy.

This is a marketing no brainer in tons of businesses and I hope the new Sonar management decides to look into it. Obviously, Sonar needs a way to confirm the customer's age. There must be a service that can provide that data, or, have the customer pay a one time fee to provide it. Also, obviously, Seniors make up a significant amount of existing Cakewalk by Bandlab users due to the free versions. It just seems like a great way to keep a huge segment of the population that is already using this great product as well as attract others. Companies such as AARP and AMAC could be partnered with to help create new customers. I suggest Senior pricing of: Subscription model: $5 per month or $50 per year prepaid fee for those of us over 60 years of age, with no penalty for canceling and reactivation at a later date. Lifetime purchase: a one time fee of $100 with a yearly update fee of $10.

Excellent work. Mix sounds great. I'd add a fretless electric bass for some bottom end/pad. It could also add another melody/melodies that play off the others.

Killer hook jack. imho needs a bit more work to take it to the next level, keep 'em coming jack.

Well done Peter. Interesting variations of the original.

Extremely well constructed and realized song Steve.

Yes, the Floyd influence is easy to hear. Good job on this one.

Nice intro. The Gull is moving through life without a problem. Tempo increases to a fast stop, sounds like the gull has encountered difficulty but gets past it and continues. Then a bigger difficulty occurs. Hope the Gull succeeds. Interesting use of tempo and effects throughout the piece to create calm and tension.
