Hello Will!
There are some very nice synth sounds in tat track. But the brass sound
coming in around 1:40min seems to really break the atmosphere for me. I do
like the melody guitar though. It adds something alive to the music. I would
have enjoyed it even more, if you'd put some delay on it as well as reverb.
Still those are luxury problems. Another of those luxury problems might be,
that for my taste the bass is to quiet compared with the drums. But it sounds
like a nice full and yet unobtrusive bass.
All in al: No danger of falling asleep and I can understand the title when
listening to it. Thanks for sharing this.
Warmly yours
Julien

Thank you for such thoughtful comments Julian.
Is it the while idea of the brass that you don't like, or the abruptness that
it comes it? I was actually thinking of fading it up.
The bass has been a problem. On my monitors and on the big HiFi speakers it
sounds fine. On phones (AKG 240) it sounded OK, but an s cheap system it was
pretty weak. I will have to do more work on it. One of the problems is that
there is strong sub-bass component with doesn't sound at all on small systems,
but I'm very reluctant to get rid of it. :(

Hello will!
It is the whole idea of brass, that I don't like with the piece. It sounds
so harsh and abrupt in itself. Not the way it comes in, but the sound. It's so
strong and brassy. I like some contrast, but for me it simply doesn't fit into
the atmosphere. perhaps some softer brass might just have fitted for my ears
and my brain. :-)
As to the bass; I do have monitor connected and it still sounds rather low
in the mix. Couldn't you go and highpass filter the bass at 50Hz? It would
still have lots of oomph and you would be able to raise the level, without it
sounding too loud on your speakers. Just an idea...
At any rate, a nice piece and I do very much like you picking up the guitar.
Continue down that road, it really adds something valuable to your music.
Warm regards
Julien

Here is a link to a version just before that one, that is almost identical but
before I gave the tune a decent name!

Any chance you'd leave the old version up the too? Can compare that way, see
what the change is like :)

Much. Still too much sub-bass to my taste, but that's a
matter of
opinion. What matters is that the bass comes through and is even with
the bass drum.
Listening to it much louder, I notice the pad has a bit of an edge in
very high frequencies which can hurt the ear.
Cheers,

Well, I have now cut the sub a bit, and applied some EQ to both of the 'sharp'
sounds. I agree they were a bit too bright. I've also dropped the whistle an
octave, it tended to merge with the lead sound.
Thanks again for your comments, and I think this is really where I should stop
tinkering!

Well, actually, you shouldn't under-rate it,
since that's precisely
where one of your strengths lies. Almost everything you create is
soothing. In fact, when I tire of the regular round of bedtime music for
my kids, I change pace by using some of your compositions, and it works
well.
Julien had a few points, especially about the bass hardly coming through
at all. Also, the rhythm guitar sounds "naked and forlorn" and I find
myself itching to reach out and slap a big fat stereo chorus on it. :)
The brass didn't bother me though.
Keep it up.
Cheers,

The rhythm has a small amount of reverb on it - much more and it would start
to sound confused. I didn't think of trying chorus.
