nice Janet!

you've REALLY improved on drums!    (there's one small percussion piece I don't care for, but that's personal taste).  I was also "less impressed" with the section starting at 0:58 thru 1:10.  I see what you were going for here and it's OK, but something about that woodwind solo without anything else but drums sounds too "bare" to me.  I might leave a minimal strings or piano underlying that section.


but those are minor nitpicks and are certainly personal taste and don't have to be changed due to my input.  the song is fantastic as it is and mixed really well, IMO.

Thank you, Charlie!  It's good to see YOU around!  Gone are the days when I dominate page 1, but I still try to do one now and then. :)  Hope you're doing great!

Thanks Reece. :)   I've improved on drums?!  Well, this is a preset deal in Storm Drums, so I can't take any credit on that.  Towards the end I started messing with them, etc., but that wasn't hard.  I need to do more though...just got to the point where I was done. I'll check out that part you mentioned.  (or I might just go on to the next piece...and it has words and everything!  Now all I need to do is learn to sing...you'd think after 7 years of working on it....) 

Hi Janet,

This is excellent. At first I thought there were a couple of spots where the strings were a bit Staccato but now that I've listened to it a few times, it sounds perfect the way it is. I really struggle with strings, I love them, and obsess over trying to make them sound as real as possible in my songs, so I kind of have a bad habit of tuning in to them. :-)

This is an excellent song and an excellent mix!

Thanks,

Bub.

Thank you, Bub!  :)  Yeah, the strings could use more work for sure.  Really glad you like it over all.  :)  

alright sounds great....first movie sound track maybe? This is the kind of stuff they look for. I think you did a great job with this.

Thank you Marcus!  Maybe not the first, but perhaps one of my better attempts.   

Those drums sound nice.  Piano is excellent as always.  I like the strings too.  It's really well done but I agree something in there to break it up would be good.  A "spacey lead guitar" or a lead synth part.  I listened to the whole tune and didn't ever feel like quitting.  So..... that's good, right?  :-)  It's almost Christmas, time for JanTracks!

Hi, Janet,
 
I knew I was going to like this right from the intro, and this is absolutely terrific!
 
I love the building tension and precision, and how the strong piano plays nicely off of the fresh sounding strings, and I think the drums sound great on this.
 
Excellent work, Janet, and best wishes for a great Thanksgiving!
Bob

This is great work! I love the drama of this piece. The piano sounds really nice with the backdrop. Certainly different from you because it more of an arrangement piece than a piano solo.

Thank you, Warren.  Yeah, a cool guitar solo WOULD sound good, wouldn't it?  I'll have to think about that.  

Thank you so much, Bob.  I really appreciate that!  You have a wonderful Thanksgiving too!  :)

Thank you, Vicente.  Glad you liked it.  :)
