Volta - Instrumental
I have edited this post and left the original text down without changes. I have made some changes to the mix and then it was mastered by a professional guy (although my martial is not that good, but it was like a tutorial to me to know what could mastering do) I enjoyed working on it and then I did a small animation video and post it on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNOm3QRATWcAfter I finished the video I felt that the name should be "A World For Sale" Thanks Original post (I started taking some piano lessons from few months and this was like a tutorial for me.It took me some time to put it together and then try to mix it. I do it just for fun.I bounced it to a .wav at 16bit and 44.1 and then i uploaded it to soundcloud, but on soundcloud it sounds squashed as if it was processed through a limiter. https://soundcloud.com/jozhob/volta Appreciate your comments... Joseph H.)

Nice sound here!! Nice piano playing for just starting out and like Mark said, your future looks bright, for fun or not. A nice arrangement and the mix is just right. Everything seems to be in the right spot and all the instrumentation is clear and panned into place properly. Very nicely done. Welcome to the Songs Forum.
Peace and Blessings, John

I didn't understand your post but I listened to the youtube link.
The velocity on the piano bothered me. I don't know if maybe just scaling it down by like 20-30% (and then raise the volume) would help but it's pretty mind numbing as is.
It's a cute video and idea. I just think the music needs some more realistic dynamics.

You are certainly off to a good start. Timing is perfect. Balance is good.

Thank you timidi for your valuable comment. Initially I had the piano notes velocities even higher and then I lowered them, it seems i should lower them more. I tried all the piano samples that I have and this one was the best one for this song and I had to tweak it by cutting frequencies and transients.
Thank you Starise for listening, I'm happy that you liked it
