Hi Tom - Very many thanks. So pleased you like it. Yes, Tuba and French Horns - quite old Garritan VSTs but they seem to work. And I can also relate to mowing the lawn - thirsty work that definitely demands beer!
Hearthis.at - I've been posting my music on Soundclick and then Soundcloud since 2005. I don't get much interest but that's the way it goes with amateur tunesmiths like me. But about a month ago, Soundcloud announced they would be terminating all "Groups" as of 22 August - these are Soundcloud lists run by Soundcloud members usually for music in a specific genre that other Soundcloud members can post their music on. I ran a quite successful Group there with around 380 members in addition to my own music page. When I challenged this decision, Soundcloud's reason was that it was too time-consuming to maintain the software for Groups and they didn't give any benefit to artists that posted on them. I can't comment of the first reason, but as for the second, it makes no sense - a person with only a few followers on their main page had access to hundreds if not thousands of listeners and potential followers via Groups.
Anyway, I decided to check around for other potential Group hosts and found hearthis.at. I also was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality there. Their Groups are a bit different to Soundcloud and may not be what I am looking for. But while I will probably still keep my Soundclick and Soundcloud pages for the moment, the sound quality at hearthis.at is such that I may well progressively move my music there.
cheers
