Thanks! Really glad you like it! :) The percussions in what track, do you mean? To sum it up though:- In Gift of Flight I use StormDrum2, JugDrums COMPLETE (Embertone) and Superior Drummer 2.. I think that's all..
- In Dream Band I only use Superior Drummer 2
- In M.O.T.H.E.R.F.U.o_O.E.R! I use lots of Battery4. I also use Microtonic (SonicCharge) and Superior Drummer 2 (SD2, only for the acou hihat)

Really well done! All three mixes sound nicely balanced here, and the arrangements are really dense yet well articulated. I hear a lot of attention to detail. What did you use for the brass in Dream Band? It sounds very natural. Oh, and the middle section of MF? Trippy.

Nothing critical I can say about these. They all sound very professional.

Well, you were right when you said all three were different from each other. My favorite was "Gift of Flight" (I'm a sucker for Eastern sounds), but all of them are beautifully recorded and performed. Excellent job!!!

Thanks, Steve! :) Yeah. I'm a real nerd when it comes to details. Details are (IMHO) what really brings music to life. And I find this especially important when it comes to smaller arrangements, like Dream Band, I really want every instrument to live its own life. The brass in Dream Band is SampleModelings Trombone3 and French Horn & Tuba. Here a small sneak peek video I made before the album was release that shows a glimpse of the arrangement: http://youtu.be/YKoUDXPAsAYHaha.. Yeah.. MF's kind of trippy all the way through ;D I actually use some old 8-Bit Amiga-samples in there as well. Used lots of tracker-programs (ProTracker was my fav) back in the day and I had a great time playing around with these old sounds. Really brought back nice memories! =) Wookiee

Thanks, James! Yeah, I really love that Eastern sounds as well! :) Have you heard Avishai Cohen? Love how he mixes eastern with jazz. If you don't know him, check out the songs Nu Nu, Dreaming Ani Maamin and Seven Seas . A few of his awesome creations.. :) The Duduk I use in Gift of Flight is made by Ilya Efimov. Don't know if you already knew about this library, but I say it anyway.. :) It's a kontakt library well worth having :)

Very cool, thanks! I'm always interested in PRV shots of compositions like this as a way to see how others handle CCs. The parts sound great!
