Beautiful song, Dan! I was definitely getting the vibe of the snow melting away, the earth coming back to life, and the animals shaking off their winter slumber. I felt like the drums, especially the snare, needed to come up a bit in the mix in spots, but I listened to the soundcloud version, so maybe that had something to do with it. Regardless, it's a wonderful song that that really lives up to the title. Thanks for posting this!

I know what you are referring to regarding the snare. I've been meaning to fix it, but I've been sidetracked, lol. Thanks for listening and for the great feedback!

Hey Dan.  You haven't forgotten how to produce and play.  This sounds like an easy sell for a movie soundtrack, during an outdoor scene, obviously.  Great stuff!

Well, to be honest, I've been playing around with Ableton Live... although I still think Sonar Platinum is pretty awesome.  I just wish I could use them together effectively!  But Sonar can't be a Rewire slave, and although Ableton can be either a master or slave, when Ableton is in slave mode, lots of features are disabled, including my Push controller, which is a deal breaker.
 
Anyway, I still do use the Cakewalk Synths a bit, as well as some of the FX plugins, even if I'm doing so via a different DAW now.  So I figure I can probably post here from time to time in good conscience. :)  It certainly is a great community here.  Very open and helpful, not to mention appreciative of each other.  Which I appreciate! :)

Very nicely done, Dan.  Perfect blend of electronics and acoustics... a real treat for the ears.

It's a mutual appreciation club. Good to see you here no matter what you are using.
