Cool song, very creative.  You've been doing some outside the box recordings. There were spots where it sounded a little off time but it could be all the delay throwing off my perception. You could throw on some audio transients (I love that feature) and see how it all lines up.

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 🎶 🎶

The transients work great on bass, most of the time on guitar but can change the sound if you stretch or shrink too much. For sax corrections I just split the notes and move them to align with transients from the drum track ( I always record Ezdrummer to a track, turn on the transients and then I have a reference to align everything to. I always thought I had great time but recording doesn't lie.

I like the alt instrumental genre. Nice patterns. I was getting all relaxed when the strings changed that. Unexpected changes. I was having a little trouble feeling the rhythm in the first part mostly. This is when melodyne comes in very handy for me! Sounds good and I think you should have used a triangle in it ha.

I like the dreamy smooth vibe and the unexpected chord changes.   And guitar tones.  Nice!

Really like the guitar chord patterns with the heavy reverb. The bass joined in at the right time - sounds great. The strings gave it a nicely done cinematic turn. The song seemed to end a bit abruptly.

I like the structure of the tune, how the instruments are added and chords, some of them unexpected.

well done pat metheny tones.jack c

I thought I detected a few timing issues early on but could be the FX. That section at 00:50 reminded me of really early Genesis (Trespass and Ant Phillips kind of early). Did I detect a 12-string as well - sounded real sweet.

I think you're onto something with this one - nice job.
