Pachelbel Canon Mix

The bass part has MANY questionable-sounding notes. 

I liked it. It's refreshing to hear a version of the song that isn't butchered by some guitar player trying to show off how fast he can play and his sweep picking skills. This is much truer to the spirit of the original composition, and yet inserts some different stylistic interpretations.

The bass part around 3:09 did stick out. I think that's a good use of voice leading in the bass but there was some dissonance between it and the piano chords that didn't quite work for me. Speaking of the bass I think the song would work better without the bass being pounded out by the piano. I think a nice fretless or acoustic bass sound would have worked better.

I didn't like any of the percussion stuff. It didn't need any of those trap kit sounds.

I think if you humanized the piano part by changing some of the note start/end times it would have made a big difference. UN-quantizing, as it were. I like to edit chords in the PRV so that the bottom note plays a little before the beat, and the upper notes play a bit behind the beat... to create a subtle arpeggiation in the chords. I do the same thing with the velocities of each note. The Cakewalk Midi Fx has randomize features for both velocity and quantization but I prefer doing it by hand. I'm a control freak when it comes to Midi. Below is an exaggerated example of how I like to un-quantize chords. I do the same thing with melodic lines, too. Just because my music is coming out of a machine doesn't mean I want it to sound mechanical.

to me.... well, this song has been done and redone......ad nausium....

However, the piano is very nice. Sounds good, played well.

Loose the bass and the drums. They do not fit in this song.

I think with the variations you put in on the piano, it will stand alone quite well.

Very beautiful piano rendition of this tune.  She plays very well and has great ears for cool chords.  I love it.  :)  I didn't hear the bass too loudly but it sounds good basically. Check the bass notes at 2:27 for a few seconds.  I always check the bass with the piano in prv to see if there's something that clashes there.

I think your parents will be thrilled.  :)

Nice piano playing.  I think the bass is fixed now.  I don't like the drum kit.  It does not fit the style of this song.  Maybe try a brush kit? 

The bass part is still problematic.  The original sheet music indicates that the root of the chord is ALWAYS on the bottom, and it's the same basic 8-bar pattern over and over again.  Keep it simple.
