Hi Walt I just use a lot of reverb to hide a multitude of (guitar) sins ; )  I enjoyed your tune and e****ially the flute ! If I have one criticism it's the drums, I would lose them altogether but that's just me, i don't like drums.

I doubt you're hiding nearly as much as I am. :)  Besides which, reverb (in the amounts you typically use) doesn't hide nearly as much as this (which was the actual effects stack I used on my guitar solo in this song):

Good tune.  So many different textures in there. That keeps it interesting. Nice addition there by CM, love that clean tone..


Thanks Herb!  I tried to move things around a bit in this one.  I wanted it to be more of a "journey" rather than a single statement.  My biggest concern was that it wouldn't all quite hang together.

You call that a rack ? ; )  I would use at least three reverbs, all of them set to 100 % wet ; )

I'm not sure how you'd even use three reverbs together.  You mean in series, for multiplying the depth of the effect more than just one could do?  What kind of reverb do you use?

Hi Walt, just a joke ; ) I'm not an engineer, just a guitarplayer thet likes a lot of reverb.
 
  But I do use two reverbs. I use the sonitus reverb as an insert on an ambient setting, mostly early reflections, with the mix setting at about 15 % wet. And at the same time I use breverb, Segovia preset is a nice one,as a send.  Don't know if that makes sense, but I like how it sounds.

Ah, thanks Rik.  Sorry for being gullible. :)  I use breverb as well, on my master out bus.

Very clean, a lot going on and you managed to keep the individual tracks isolated.  I am listening in headphones I really like the panning...The vibrato in the beginning reminded me of the Eagles I wish you peace.  It started like that...But you backed off quickly.  I like it!
 
Superb mix/mastering!

Thanks Pat, I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment!  That beginning part you mentioned is the AAS Lounge Lizard's Tremolo (on the BFly Rhodes setting).  I'm sure the Eagles were using a "real" rhodes, but they sure sound similar. ;)

The nice thing about keys is? Well? "Everything..." You can slow them down, you can speed them up, you can edit them, you can quantitize them, you can add fills? You can do whatever you want...  The bad thing is that if you have OCD like me? You will sit and fiddle with it "for hours..." The cool thing is, when you bounce it? It sounds the way you want it to sound :-) Love the keys...

Extremely groovy Walt!!  I Love all the different sounds and textures.  I dig the flute sounds throughout, and, of course the guitar solo is very nice.  I look forward to listening to more of your music!
