Dark Spanish Night

[mark skinner]

 Hello , here is an acoustic instrumental I'm trying to finish up. It's Pretty simple and almost ambiant sounding. I'm using my Godin nylon strung guitar and cello for the most part. I had a nice time with the short cello part dragging the bow across "chime" locations. I need to work on that . I got an almost flute type sound in one quick passage.  Any suggestions for improvement will be greatly appreciated.   Thanks ..   mark

Beautiful. Love the cello which adds a nice mournful mood to the song. Very well done Mark.

I downloaded the file after listening to the MP3, it is very cool stuff, one observation the left channel is consistently louder then the right by a couple of dB's also the left chanel looks clipped in so much as all the peaks are identical but the right is not so.  See below.

Liked and commented over at "click".
This is lovely Mark. Never would have thought the "flute" was the cello...

👍's 👏

Can't fault it Mark. I think you might have taught me some new chords 😃

Thanks @bjornpdx, "mournful" was the description I was actually looking for when describing the cello. It never came to me so I just left that part out. 

Thank You @Wookiee.  I was hearing the difference a little also. Watching the master meter it was pretty obvious. The main guitar playing the repeating chords is panned left. It was done with a large condenser mic as opposed to DI for the other tracks. I backed the volume off on it and moved some of the panning on the other guitars further to the right. I obviously didn't get the job done. Thanks for the screenshot , that made a good visible impact.  I also used the legacy "tempo delay" on quite a few tracks. The "L/R/C on the beat" preset also hits pretty hard on the left side on the end of the phrases. I'll see if I can get this resolved asap.  I Really appreciate your help.

Thanx @DeeringAmps I'll probably see how far I can take that flutish cello sound before too long. Appreciate the SC comment..

Thanx @Keith Wilby  I Appreciate the listen and comment. I for sure don't think you learned any new chords on this one 😁   I'm just walking down  Am/G/F/E. I am tuned down a half step and keeping the high E string open on the F.

Thanks for the feedback.  I think I'll have a short vocal section at end before I repost this.         Later ..   mark
