This is one of my earlier CbB projects I've revisited.  It's an instrumental featuring mandolin , with acoustic guitars and synths.  I've been having problems getting things to sound right on streaming platforms.  Any feedback is welcome.  Thanks ...   mark

Sounds fine here on Laptop, I enjoyed the tune & performance, great track.

[Johnbee58]

Nice crisp and clear sound.  Very Americana sounding.  I keep thinking a vocal is going to start any second.

Thanks for the listen and response , and yeah John , I've grown so weary of hearing my own voice , this was one of many that turned in to an instrumental.   mark

Mix sounds fine here. I'd bring the mando up a tad maybe; in spots anyway.
Beautiful, that's how I'd describe it.

I find that so true here as well.
Bring us some more instrumentals!

Thanks Tom , I'll give the mando another listen.  I've got a load of instrumentals that really need fresh ears on them .  RickF gave me permission to post a remake of "Blind boy blues"   I did it just so I could learn how to play slow blues lead. Took me a month to learn and record what he did in one pass just improvising. I may post it here when I feel more comfortable about it .     Thanks ..  mark

I really like this song.  It put me in the same headspace as this song by one of my favorites:  

 

Great job.??

[David Sprouse]

+1 to loggins and messina.  It sounded incredible streaming to my woofdales.

This is an absolutely wonderful instrumental (yea - instrumentals).  This had a definite chill-out effect on me.   The performance is perfect and the mix sound good to my ears.  Doggone good playing --- I might add.  Gee, I might just have to give it another listen

 

[SteveC]

Sounded great here!  A really nice, detailed, yet wide open mix.

[garybrun]

Very nice instrumental and mix.

[bjornpdx]

Beautiful!  The music put me in a nice mellow mood.

[PhonoBrainer]

Absolutely wonderful. Great combo of instruments. A very happy 5 minutes. Uplifiting!!!

Mix wise, I was noticing the hi hat, and to some extent the cymbal, seem to cuttoff prematurely. Not much sustain on those, and that detracts (for me) just a bit from the organic quality your piece obviously has in spades. You might swap them with another sample, or take the gate off if their is one, or? I dunno, seriously 99% of everybody else is not going to notice that, probably. If they are live drums (they sound pretty live?) then I don't know how you fix that. Or if it even need fixing.

This piece for me is a 9.9 out of 10. Really great!

 

cheers,

+1 on the Loggins & Messina comment. Beautifully detailed and well crafted mix with lots of space, not to mention a boatload of great performances. Quite a beautiful song!

[Lynn Wilson]

Mark, you nailed this one.  It sounds like you're right here in the room with me.  This is a pleasure to listen to, and you named it just right

[congalocke]

Laid back breathy intro.

I'm really enjoying this. Has a wonderful feel that I get when listening to the instrumental from Honolulu City Lights.

I really enjoy this composition. The instruments, construction. Those breathy vocals are legit..love what you're doing man!
