After my rig was stolen a few weeks ago, I'd completely stopped listening to any and all music. I didn't want to hear other peoples' joy, so this is my first tentative peek into the Songs forum in quite a while.
 
Turned out to be a damn good choice for literally the first music I've listened to in a month. It provided a needed attitude adjustment.
 
This, along with Bob Bone's story of setting up a recording rig in a hospital room while recovering from surgery, has inspired me to soldier on, even without a DAW. So thanks for that. BTW, it translates well to laptop speakers.




Hey Bit! Thanks for the comments and again, I'm sorry about what happened to you. You'll get back in the groove in time.

OMG flawless!! The string arrangement conjures up the ghost of George Martin. 
 
Dan I'm more than impressed here; this is musicianship and composition at a whole 'nother level - 
 
mix is ace/ it's like polished crystal - I just bought it in fact for my wife ;) she will love it. 
downloading now - thanks!

Thank you Daren! I really appreciate the purchase!

You had me hooked from the get go with this song. Love that sparse Celtic harp and cello (?) at the beginning (gave me goosebumps) and then the song evolves to a full fledged orchestral arrangement.  Very nice to listen to on a rainy morning here, and I'm also thinking what a great film soundtrack it could be.
I always enjoy listening to your music.





Thanks Bjorn!

Apologies Dan... Late to the party as usual.
 
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to that. What a build-up and crescendo at the end there. Top work...
 
cheers

Dan,
 
Great work, great song, and your control of the sample libraries is outstanding.  Everything sounds very realistic.  I just picked up EW Woodwinds, Brass and Hollywood Strings during their last special, but have been out of country for a bit, and looking forward to doing something with them - this has certainly inspired.   Although, something of this caliber is unlikely at this point:)   Really enjoyable listen, soundtrack quality for sure.




Thanks Mark! One thing I have learned, no string library sounds like the demos out of the box, lol. You should see what the project looks like once all of the articulations are in, some just playing a few notes here and there, and the expression lanes clutter up everything. But it works!
 
Regards,
Dan

What a treat!!! Perfection! I put this on my Bose system in my living room and also had a listen in my recliner with coffee! I repeat What a Treat!
 
P.S. I played many many years in Concert bands with stings etc. Stand proud Dan!!




Thanks BB! Glad to hear everything translated well!
