Thanks for taking the time to listen to Nessus Walt 
 
I still don't know where that came from to be honest. I am mostly, at the moment, resurrecting old discarded projects in an effort to get my creative juices flowing after a dormant year or more. I came across a demo track created by David Rosen and I thought, "what a great sounding synth," and after a quick play I purchased Hive for myself.
 
I then took the decision to create a piece completely using Hive, and Nessus was the result.
 
I had the main piece laid down and uploaded within a week, which is unusual for me, and then spent another two weeks or so polishing it, with the help from peeps here.
 
thanks again for listening,
 
cheers

Just watched a video on Hive, looks fun and interesting!  But... must...... RESIST...... I have too many synths already, and need to learn how to better use what I've already got.

Hahaha, Walt, I know exactly what you mean (as do so many of us around these parts) 

Like Walt said, sometimes we're our own worst critics.  It's about time that you took some credit for producing high quality mixes in less than ideal conditions, like most of us.  I don't know if you got my message from another thread, but if you're primarily mixing on headphones, then you may be interested in checking our Focusrite's VRM box.  It's made for headphone mixing and emulates high end speakers in a variety of mixing rooms.  It's relatively cheap, but can perform wonders.  Anyway, you're doing a good job with what you have, and your inspiration is priceless.

Thanks again for your kind words Lynn 
 
I'm looking into that VRM thing. I've been aware of it for some time when I saw it in my local music store a couple of years ago. I didn't bother getting one at the time because I thought it would mess with my existing set-up. Next time I'm in town I'll see if they still stock them and I may make an impulsive purchase . Like you say, they're not too pricey...

Nice track Andy, very melodic and well arranged. Love the lead synth sounds, excellent playing too. Like Vangelis in a blissful mood

Hi James,
 
Thanks for listening to Nessus (version 7 - took me some time to get this polished LOL)

The end result of all the efforts has paid off! Great compo...doesn't really seem to need anything except maybe a vocalist!

Andy,
All the right keyboard elements coming together to bring this production background and mix full circle. Some killer guitar sounds might work really well in this piece (I'm thinking Kirk Beaur's guitar sound, if he is still in the forum), but there are plenty of others as well. Truly a very valuable and well constructed piece of music. Very nicely done.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Well produced, bright and a slick groove.
