    Very, very, nice Mike!

    A sort of a lullaby to my ears.

    Were you playin' that for your 'little buddy' in the SC pic??

    One minor observation the Harp sounds like it is playing in a different space than the piano.

    lhansen-Thank you.  My lil' buddy (Oscar) did in fact inspire me for the song.  Not that kittens need a lullaby to fall asleep, but it's the thought that counts I guess.  As my friend says, "kittens are so cute until they are wound up and you see them swinging from your drapes and making minced meat of your new couch...."

    Hey Wookie, thanks for the listen.  The downside of using separate libraries, I was using EW Pianos and EWSO Harp.  The EWSO is recorded pretty wet and sometimes does not blend well with other libraries.  I'm sure there some mixing thing I could do to make them mesh a little better, but sadly that knowledge is beyond me.

    Try adding an EFX buss with a reverb, pick simple reverb thats not to splashy.  Add FX sends to both sources.  Send the FX buss to your Master Buss, send your two sources to the master buss. Adjust the sends on the two sources until there is feeling of alignment.  You will probably find the wet one needs very little send where the dry on will need more.  This does assume that you have a reasonable level mix before applying the reverb.  By applying the same verb generally you are in a sense forcing the instruments into the same space.

    Very nice.

    I might like the harp brought up just a bit from the background.   But then again, it could be fine.
