Hey John. Wow man. glad you liked it so much. cool. If you think of what you wanted to ask, let me know. Thanks John.

Tim,  I was trying to figure out musically how to ask the "how did ya get..."  that kinda blend that is at times just flooding my ears with mellow.   Can't even distinguish all that I hear -  strings, guitar(s), bass, piano but not so individually distinct; it's like the blend you got, created some whole new instrument/sound.  As it should be, if we reach a certain height that you have in this.   (by the way I'm listening to ver 2).   Can you list what guitars/guitar synths you used on this?  I believe there are several.  And any special notes you care to share on how you mixed this?   Really, really nice work man, totally love it.

Thanks John. Wow. Ok, let's see.
Guitars were a Martin D28 miced with an AKG 441 condensor I think. 
The electric is a Heritage 550 going direct.
I don't have a guitar synth. I'd sure like to check one out though.

Synths were Omnisphere pads and dittles, Trillian bass , Roland JV-1080 strings, Kontact (piano).
I think there's some loops in there maybe. There's actually 2 kiks. Which is kind of odd considering you can't really hear them... 

I don't really know what to tell you John. The song started as a guitar/voc (to a clik_ and then I added stuff:)
The vocals were pitch corrected with Melodyne (of course:) (don't tell anyone).

I think i started this over a year ago and have worked on it since on and off.
I have about 5 different intros and settled on the latest mix 2.

It didn't really turn out how I had envisioned it, but, I just let it go where it wanted to go.
I'm glad you like it.

I don't know if these pics would help. But, here's what the project looks like in 8.53. If you have any questions from what you see, let me know.

Long way down sounds great. It would make a great theme song for the guy who just jumped 23 miles and broke the sound barrier. I like the way everything fits. Sounds great

Really nice seperation.  This is a sweet tune.  Nice melody.  I like the guitar a bunch on this. 

Really pretty, I'm a sucker for a pretty song.
