Nice listen.

Just wondering if you could slow down a little bit.

You have currently 7 songs (8th just arrived) on the front page and it makes it hard to catch up with other peoples posts, and pushes them all down very quickly.

You would probably get more responses as it allows more people to view the posts.

The "usual" approach has been to have no more than 1 or 2 songs on the first page.

Anyway just thought I'd mention it and leave it up to you.

I enjoyed this one, Randy smile It has a really nice, soothing quality and I like how stripped down it sounds. It sticks to the basics, which isn't ever a bad thing smile I found it easy to sway my head to and get lost in.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Nice tune!


Yep. What seems to work well that I’ve noticed over the years is:

- post a song

- let folks respond

- “bounce” the song when it drops down a bit

- repeat until all the responses seemed to have finished and it drops off the page

- then post a new tune

Also taking a bit of time to responds to others’ posts helps with the great community feel here.

All with a big ole for what it’s worth! smile

BTW, some folks like to know what effects were used, what DAW was used for the mix, etc. The forum header asks for folks to mention this stuff but not everybody does. But there are us geeks who like to know “how you did it!” smile


Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more.

Cool tune Randy. Your backtracks seemed to be so nicely put together. Would really be interested how you mixed the songs and mastered them.

This is a such a relaxing song. It's totally perfect for the rainy weather outside. Makes me wanna grab a cup of hot chocolate and read by the window. You did a really lovely job on this one, and the backing tracks go really well together. Thanks for the share.


Cheers,
Ember
