Swan Serenade, new mix 1/6

hi Janet, seems you've finally found that middle c ; ) Seriously, I love this. I'm a sucker for a nice pedal tone anyway. Are you sure about that last note ? Timing is a bit off and I was expecting something much lower ....or higher ; )

Listened to it again, there is a last note that is so soft I didn't hear it before, sorry. Makes sense now, it is a bit soft though : )  On a church organ you would use  a pedal to play that c continiously, hence pedal tone

Wise choice C, I wrote a tune about it once : )

it's called, wait for it : "In search of the open sea "  

C U

Hey Janet...lovely piece...flowed nicely and your playing is very smooth.  My only nit is that the bass notes, while very resonant, were sometimes a little overpowering to the treble...other than that...great :)

You other brothers can deny...

Happy New Year Janet very nice , I enjoyed it .

Say C oh I mean Cheers to you ! James

Only listening on lappy so make of it what you will, but your left hand sounds a bit heavy and I think I would have gone with a higher and/or louder note at the end. Tone sounds a little harsh too, but like I said....... lappy speakers and can't download this one.....prolly just as well - you know what usually happens when I do that  :)

I also heard the 'Edmund Fitzgerald' in there. Very nice piece though Janet, not as sweet as the title would suggest, there's a little darkness about it.

Listening through headphones, I'd like to hear some more stereo spread on the piano, the left and right hand seem to be on top of each other.

I love this Janet... I'll bet Scotty's fiddle would sound good with this too...

I came back on headphones..... it sounds better in cans than it did on the speakers.... 

That lower bass note gets a bit repetitive.... and boring... and at the end.... I would not drop it's volume.... 

Just lovely, Janet.  You may only need to adjust the velocities of the low notes to tame them, but they didn't bother me.  Fine performance.

Robby, is this any better? 

Thanks Eko. You're right.

Thank you, James, and happy new year to you too! Take care of yourself! 

Thanks a lot, Ben! 

Thanks Paulo.  I just brought down the velocities even more, and especially on the left hand.  Thanks for the tip.  Also, I just changed the free download option yesterday.  Last month alone I had 67 free downloads.  I figured if I'd charge 75 cents for them, I could retire in 50 years instead of 100.  ;) 

Herb, I hadn't heard that song in years.   Weird.  I don't use HPF cause I don't understand them yet...just use the Sonitus (and O4) eq.  

Thanks James. Yeah, I probably should have picked another title because it's not what I had in mind for that picture either.  Oh well.  Thanks for the tip on the stereo spread. I think I've got that fixed now. 

Thanks so much, Scott.  That means a lot. :) 

Thank you too Frank.  Yeah, Scott's fiddle sounds superb just about everywhere. :) 

Thanks Ed.

Herb, funny that it sounds better in cans.  This is one of the few I've ever listened to and mixed totally with the speakers cause I've been home alone all week.  Probably lost all frame of reference.  Sorry it bored you.  Don't listen again. :) 

Thank you, Blipp.  I hope the piano's better now. 

Thanks Lynn.  :)  I adjusted them all. Again. :) 

Thanks Wookiee.  The bass is supposed to be an important part of it but I probably needed to tame it more than I did.  Too much to listen for while mixing. At least for me.  
Thanks again everyone.  I really appreciate your ears! :)

Yeah.....either that or people just won't download it ;)
