Beautiful tune. relaxant mood. Sounds good

Thanks, Makke. I appreciate it.

I really enjoyed it, reminded me of some lullaby CD's I had for my kids when they were little.  Pretty tune, and I thought the instruments sounded good although I agree the drums need work.  But I think accoustic drums almost always need work from loops, so I might be biased on that from the start..  :)

Thanks a lot.
I have a new version coming where a few things mentioned have been adressed. I'm currently debating with myself whether or not I should replace the crisp and clean guitar samples with the real deal, even though it might not sound as good. My electric is currently in the shop for a tune-up and I'm not sure if I can make it sund good enough.

New mix with real guitars and changed a few things mentioned in this thread.

Must be listening to the remix sounded good here reasonably well balanced, though the flute does still sound a little unreal to me.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Wookie. I'm not sure if I can get the flute any different. Might exchange it for a clarinet.

Birthday tomorrow, so this is a final mix. I tried other instruments to replace the flute, but nothing worked. Rerecorded the electric guitar. This is also the first mix using my brand new Mackie studio monitors.

Sounded good to me.  Nice piece.  I'm sure your niece will love it.

I really like this a lot. I am a big fan of John Denver's music and have recently started to learn how to play guitar using my fingers instead of a pick. Something that has really opened my ears to a whole new world where music goes. 
 
Sometimes people post things here wanting advice and critics for their mix, other times they post things wondering how things might be better music writing wise. 
 
As for the mix, you've got it sounding really solid, although I am no expert. 
 
As for your song, I like how you hang on the main background riff, but what in my opinion would really set it off would be if you changed the background chords and took it off into a journey elsewhere rather than hanging on the same somber thing over and over. And I mean that comment in a good way so please don't take it any other way. 
 
Enjoyed hearing this either way very much!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
