Thanks for that link. I had no idea TotalMix had a DAW mode. Should simplify things to the point I can actually understand what's going on in TotalMix. Carry on.

The only time I listen to this music genre is when it's coming from the car next to me at a traffic light, and they all sound the same to me. But being a lyrics guy I gotta say the composition, the meter and rhyming is really good. I wouldn't use the same language, but that's the way it is lately. The demon-in-charge bit is done very well. Creepy but good. I like the co-pilot reference. There's a lot going on in the background which keeps things moving and there's a bunch of stuff I don't understand, but that's okay. I'm not a fan of this genre and you haven't converted me, but I do like what you did here. Thanks for posting.

Not sure if I can meet these requirements: Windows 7, Vista, XP (SP2) - (32 & 64 Bit) 2Ghz AMD or Intel Pentium 3 compatible CPU with full SSE1 support 512Mb RAM 30Mb free disc space DirectSound or ASIO compatible soundcard

Daryl Missed this the 1st time around. Are your daughter and her boyfriend still separated a month later?? ? Another perky song with that trademarked Daryl sound. I always enjoy your lyrics and this one doesn't disappoint.

Anders Made me all misty eyed. Really really good performance. I think you could have left out the drums but that's just me. I think John Prine is one of those under appreciated artists who most people discover by accident, but once discovered you become an immediate fan.

Beautiful music very well orchestrated. Gotta ask which instruments you're using, esp the violin? Boy does it sound good.

Doug Thanks for listening and commenting. Yeah that OTS flute is great. All kinds of articulation possibilities. Mark I have an actual Native American flute as well. Never could get the hang of it though. freddy As always thanks for listening and commenting. tom I've taken a couple of trips to the Grand Canyon (north rim) specifically for thunderstorms. Had a scary one way too close but I got it on video. Makke thanks for listening and commenting. Tom This is actually a shortened version of a very drone-y maybe too long track. I messed up and cut the beginning a little too soon. noynekker Appreciate the comments! Paul Thank you for listening and commenting.

This would make a really good soundtrack. I like the back and forth between the violin (?) and organ. Thanks for posting.

I downloaded it (462MB) and listened to it while avoiding housework. Active listening is always difficult with ambient music so I jotted some notes (again) The 1st part: Nice interplay of instruments, kind of playful. Might need more variation. 12 min I was ready for a change, and like I said before, this part with the soundscapes and sweeps interested me more. Nice menacing tone here. 15 min getting hypnotic 17 min back to the arps. Kind of abrupt. Maybe need more pad in the background 20 min Familiar aaaaahs and ooooohs Korg M1 I think. 23 min very nice bell melodic part. Vangelis like. This is my favorite part 26 min back to the bell arps like in the beginning. IDK doesn't work for me. Purely subjective. An enjoyable listen for my morning coffee Wookie. Will there be a side two of that vinyl album?

David Very nice! Sparse but just enough to uplift my mood on a dreary day.

If Time is money then I'm a millionaire. My virus song. I couldn't sing or even narrate the lyrics so I'm leaving it up to you - karaoke style!

Paul Yeah, very 60s love song. The lyrics seemed awkwardly phrased here and there but on the whole a very good song. Thanks for posting.

This has the two things I always look for in a song - good lyrics and good melody. In this song the melody stays with you for a while after the first listen which is a huge thumbs up from me. Great job!

Doug Not a millionaire but a billionaire. You really do have a unique sound and style to your music. Great song and exceptional playing as always.

Makke I always have to google something after listening to your music (like rautalanka and rowanberry), but that's ok! Very smooth playing in that 60s style of guitar, very nice. Being a folk song, I would guess the song goes back a few centuries and has been played all kinds of different ways depending on the technology at the time.

Amazing as always. Hey, would you consider doing a video? I would love to watch you play!

Red Rocks Inspired by the red rock canyons in Utah. Very ambient. Flute is OTS Mesa Winds bunch of Omnisphere sounds Trilian I wrote this a few years ago. Thought I would try remixing it now that I have more experience with mixing and now that I have Ozone to help with mastering. So this is a first pass at a remix. Thanks for listening.

Promising. There isn't much going on in the background so something like a string track would help to fill in the sound. Just one man's opinion. Thanks for posting.

I too remember you from the old forum and it's great to hear your music again. Nowadays video is so commonplace but back a few years most people didn't have a movie camera so family images from back then were still photographs. I like that you created a song from your movie (which probably didn't have audio) and fit the lyrics to it. I thought the vocal could have been brought up a bit more and that's about all I can suggest. Nicely done.

Tom You had me toe tappin' from the get go. Well balanced mix, great performances and just plain likable. Well done, and boy do I hope the lyrics come true.

Tom That was my go-to piano, the Kontakt Grandeur plus the NI Raum plugin for spaciousness. Thanks for listening. Max Thanks for listening. I did play the melody part and then I went in and fixed all the mistakes. Doug Thanks for listening and the comment on the composition. The other Tom Thanks for listening. I like ambient dreamy stuff once in a while. The genre is hard to write because of the long sequences where you have to get into the flow of it at different points in the song. The voices? Did you hear voices?? Hmm better get that checked out. Nah, it's a Sound Iron VST called Mimi Page Light and Shadows, some unusual vocal stuff from this vocalist.

Tuesday Morning This started off as space music but evolved into more of an ambient/easy listening genre. Thanks for listening.

I like songs that are easy to critique like this one. Everything about it is just excellent, the music and the production. Thumbs up my man.

Wow, I can only imagine the work it took to put all this together. Just excellent. Got a question. About 1:15 and elsewhere in the 1st movement is an instrument that sounded more like a traditional synthesizer doing some arps to me. Is that what it is or is that a bassoon or oboe?

Rex You said you were working on the BGV and what you did is very effective. Blends in nicely with the voc. The wahwah was a bit too heavy for me, kind of took something away from the mood of the song. All in all a beautiful song. Excellent lyrics too.
