Hi Dan,
As you offered a choice of Bandcamp or Soundclick, I listened to both, and in my opinion the Soundclick was presented in much lower quality, probably 128? I noticed downsampled phasing artifacts in the cymbals right away, and the piano sounded thin.
So very glad I listened to the Bandcamp version! A much better experience, and your song is a mellow sonic thrill! Bass is perfectly placed in the mix for me - acoustic nylon guitar is featured, and supported by all kinds of cool chorals and pads and . . . just great.
I think this is a perfect combination of the natural acoustic with touches of the electronic. Compositionally, you have a nice development arc. I think the ending is like a gymnast nailing the landing. Well done!
cheers,
-Tom

Very nice, Dan I went straight for the Bandcamp listen, gave me pictures of flying over wide open plains, swooping low to view what is below, then rising high. Good stuff,

This is a beautifully produced piece that evokes much imagery in my mind. As far as I'm concerned, this is a final product. I have to say that you and Tom have the golden ears because I listened to the bandcamp and soundclick versions, and I couldn't hear much difference between the two. I may be revealing too much, thus, that is why I come to this site because my ears are obviously deficient in certain areas. Anyway, great job, Dan, and keep it up!

Thanks Tom for the very kind comments! I appreciate the comment about Bandcamp vs Soundclick. Soundclick is @ 160, so it is very poor. However, some people don't like going to Bandcamp, so I always have alternatives. This one came together from an intro I came up with about a year ago. It's the first song in a very long time that I wrote entirely on piano all the way to the end before adding anything more than a simple placeholder bass part and drum track. It almost wrote itself, lol. Regards, Dan

What a difference out the three sites; both SoundClick and SoundCloud sounded awful by comparison to Bandcamp. IMO, I think SoundCloud is the worse of the three. Anyway, I don't use both those SC sites anymore (also the reason why I don't comment on those sites)! The piano (intro), I can subtly hear the hammers, impressive sound. The synth sound that comes in the build-up 'intro' sounded a bit lack-luster by comparison to the piano, though not too bad -- The attack parameters on the lead synth is very nice. Overall outstanding in all respects; strong melodies, sound, performances and arrangements are all excellent. And just when you think nothing more, oh yes there is more - This is an epic composition worthy of music placement in a blockbuster movie. Classic, timeless, endearing, captivating. Its a winner. Well done

Thanks Lynn! Maybe not as deficient as you think. Once you learn to hear the difference, it can be somewhat of a curse, lol. I'm so sensitive to it now that when I heard a Journey song off of a CD, and the cymbals were run through a flanger, all I could think was why was the bit rate so low.  Regards, Dan

The lead synth is actually an ebow. Thank you for your very kind comments. I was actually going for somewhat less epic after my last one, but I guess I just can't help myself, lol. Regards, Dan

OK... maybe the brass could use a hint of reverb...there. LOL I'll have to learn what an ebow is....

Thanks Andy! The ebow is pretty cool, but I don't know how to use it well enough so I can get it to do other sounds besides the standard "ebow" sound, lol. Glad you enjoyed the song! Regards, Dan

Dan,
Beautiful work, really enjoyable music. I don't even listen for problems in your mixes anymore, they don't exist;) You are definitely making some hay with those SSL plugs.
Regards
Thank you Mark! I still find that I will occasionally EQ myself into a corner. On a mix I am working on right now, I spent 2 hours last night simply bypassing the plugins on each track to find something that sounded odd, but I couldn't quite put my finger on. Turned out to be two tracks that I had made stupid EQ decisions on when I worked on the mix way longer than I should have last weekend. The things we do... Regards, Dan
