DeeringAmps Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Another well crafted bass line John, you seem to get a little more out of Trilian with the key switches than I do. A little different than your usual. Well done! t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I enjoyed the listen John - that Vocalsynth was very interesting. I thought the song had a bit of a lounge vibe to me - pretty cool. The mix sounded fine to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Very nice. I thought the structure of the piano chords was great , I'd push the piano more to the front and have the synth lay under it. I also liked all the vocals. Enjoyed it very much . mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 JohnB Even though a somewhat different genre than your usual posts I still recognized the style. Well done and with good production skills. I especially liked the gliding lead synth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I liked that tight portamento lead synth patch! For me the song starts very very mellow and slow with the piano and I'd vote to clip the intro quite a bit, to get to the good stuff sooner. Another unasked-for idea? Sure! How about this . . . on a slow song, super slow tempo, put a longer reverb on the drums. Particularly the snare. That way, the ring out of reverb on the snare will fill the time pleasantly and more naturally while we are waiting for the next beat. It might be worth experimenting with. You could go overboard with that and make it too awash. Reverbo Peligro! fun experimental quarantine action! cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnbee58 Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) @DeeringAmps, @Douglas Kirby, @mark skinner, @bjornpdx-Thanks all so much, guys! @emeraldsoul-Thanks so much for your suggestions. I'll take them to heart as coming from a guy who does quite a bit of instrumentals. I prefer the intro as it is. It's an "Artsy Fartsy" kind of thing.? Quarantine fun for sure. What else is there to do besides make music? This damned virus is a PITA and an unprecedented intrusion on our freedoms all over the globe. I blame the virus, not the people. May you all stay well. ?John B Edited March 22, 2020 by Johnbee58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sprouse Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 IT's funny. Don Quixote was a constant theme in my family as my dad loved the story (and the musical). Another well written song...Loved the variety of textures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnbee58 Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Thanks, Dave. I've seen actually 2 different interpretations of that quote online. The other that I didn't use implied that history is the mother. “... truth, whose mother is history, who is the rival of time, depository of deeds, witness of the past, example and lesson to the present, and warning to the future.”-Don Quixote Wish I knew which one was the one he said. ? ?JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 A bit different from your usual postings John. However, it does have your signature style. Great production, a nice blend of sounds that for me created a cheery but melancholy mood - all at the same time. Nice one --- I very much enjoyed it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starise Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 This reminds me of Rick Wakeman only maybe slower. Something from that time period. A nice synth production that takes my mind on a future adventure. Nice work on it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
