I was in music mindset last night and I made this one from start to finish. Played with an acoustic guitar and a D tuned uke..the uke actually has two steel and two nylon strings. Some guy on ebay sells em'. The uke isn't anything special but I like instruments that add a different feel to the music here and there. This is six acoustic tracks in total four of which are a martin guitar. Two stereo tracks...  I hear a few parts stepping on one another in small places and I'm curious about how the guitars are coming across. Do they sound too tinny? I'm also thinking that the arrangement ramps up a little too early.

I dunno Tim... I reckon that sounded bang on, on my headphone set-up. I wouldn't change a thing, personally.
 
I'm listening again now and I like how it gets straight down to it. But it would also work to bring in perhaps the uke first, and then follow up with the guitars.
 
Great composition Tim. I enjoyed listening
 
cheers

I agree with Andy, this sounded really good on my system.  And I've NEVER started and finished ANYthing in one day, so count me as a jealous admirer.

great stuff ! magnificant guitars and a nice spirit/feel to it.
Sounds very clear, well balanced, open.
if you fixed this in a day, take my hat off
 
what might help the mix (not sure) is if you take 1 or 2 instruments that play throughout the song...and put them mono in center only with no side signal (or maybe just a tiny bit) (flip mono interleave button on track, or take down side signal with Channel Tools fe).
I'm thinking that might give you a better image, more solid, and better seperation between the instruments.
That's just something I'd try & not sure if it really works.
 
In terms of arrangement, maybe from a loop or so, you could build a sort of a very catchy theme (easy Keltic melody line on guitar + flutes fe) and let that come back a few times...and do some other stuff in between.
enjoyed listening to the song + all the best.
 

Nice stuff Tim, I like the sound you are getting out of the Martin.
Perhaps some volume automation tracks too get a bit more dynamic feel.
 
Cheers,

Hi Tim... The latest version is sounding good too... I liked that intro 

Your are up early Andy....guess that means I'm up late...lol

Your are up early Andy....guess that means I'm up late...lol

I'm afraid you're right... On both counts 

All in all very nice 
 
Personally I would add one minor tweak to take a little of the edge off it as there are a few little places where it could do with some softening.  Like say the tape emulator on the master bus to just round it out.

Clear as a bell and beautiful.
