Hi everyone
*gulp* Here goes...
Finally everyone is happy with this. It's a prog(ish) rock instrumental
called "Laetoli (a fragment of a track)".

Two or three of the wavs were recorded under Windows, shortly before I
discovered DeMuDi. Everything else has been recorded, mixed etc under
Linux.
It was, perhaps, not the easiest choice for the first piece to record –
it's been a steep learning curve, not only making the transition from
Windows to Linux but also learning music software and DAW recording from
scratch. It has been fun though and made easier by all the useful
information and help and advice on the lists and elsewhere. It might
have been finished sooner had the guitarist not bought a new axe partway
through and insisted on re-recording a load of parts ;-)
Hope you like it, feedback welcome.
I finally got round to listening to this.
Very nice. I agree that the Bass is the weakness in this track, but my
reasoning is different. Personally I would like to hear a much more driving
bass and I think it needs a few 'rushes' to build it, possibly in the drum
parts, but there are other ways of doing this. If you feel the piece is
finished, I would leave it there and simply bear in mind these comments for
future pieces. I'm not a great fan of over-production.
