Hi. My first composition completely done with
Ardour and other free
software. I'm still not completely satisfied with the mix, but it's
almost there. Comments welcome.

I like that!
My non-professional advice, though, is:
1. Do something better with the drums. In something so organic, they
really stand out, and not in a good way.
2. Making no comment about your vocal ability (hey, you've never heard
me sing for a reason) - the strange muffly slight phasing is weird.
Maybe try using more reverb, with longer decay. That is, go for
echoey, ethereal sounds more.
3. Do more stuff! The guitars and flute sound really good.

Thanks for the feedback James. I wanted the drums to actually stand back
and out of the way. I'll have to reconsider. I'm not sure what would
account for the muffly phrasing on the vocals. I am using freeverb and
the L/C/R Delay to give a bit of width to the vocal. I'll have to play
with that some also.
Regards,
Bill
