Hi Riccled, good use of Mellotron V it sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

A nice composition...
I wish you had included the lyrics.

Nice work, Riccled A really lush composition, and it almost has a haunting essence to it. The Mellotron fit beautiful also.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice job Rick. Very relaxing backtrack.

Very mellow piece. I absolutely love the Mellotron. What a great addition to the song.

I really enjoyed the tone of this one. Thanks for sharing.

Hi guys,thanks for those,yeah the Mellotron has definitely added a retro 60s feel to this track,will use it again when I find a good place for it,Arturia do do these classic synths really well.

I'm a tron fool - I have wave files of about 6 voices that I often cut and paste into tracks.
A year ago I bought a Mel9 pedal so I could do some of that with guitar.
I wouldn't say tron sounds real but it sounds like a tron, (slightly grainy and with a limited sustain due to tape length, which is the point.
Your Tron tracks sound cool.
I did some reading about how to use them in a mix - in the 1st blush of Tron popularity it was recorded most often played through a Fender amp with the top end rolled off and plenty of spring reverb. I found about seven sources that agreed on that and have tried/applied that - works a treat.
Your Tron work really steals the song - I really like the song but my ears went to the Tron every time.

It definitely does! Thanks for sharing

Thanks guys,yes I love the Mellotron V a lot.

Deft use of the synth made the song. Great work!
