Arthur is my latest attempt at writing. Arthur was my Grandfather who until a month ago, I did not know his name nor did we ever meet.

A nice tune, Deb.

(I was expecting lyrics...)

Thanks for sharing this Deb. Really enjoyed the overall progression on this. well done!

No lyrics... I like doing instrumentals.

Thanks all for listening. Arthur is my 3rd instrumental so I am still learning a lot.

The level of your melody guitar line drops in and out making it a little hard to follow.
I THINK this track is almost mono.
IF you pan things a little - trad. method would work well enough, ( bass and melody up the centre, ppiano one side, acoustic guitar the other and the drum track according to its inbuilt stereo image),then the melody would have some space to shine.

Nice one Deb...
Keep after it...
Writing...
Learning, having fun...
And sharing your compositions with others!

Rayc, thanks for the input.

My guitar track was recorded mono then duplicated. Each of those tracks are set at 90% L and R respectively. Everything else was centered as created in BIAB. (I use audacity for my DAW.)

I do like your idea of moving things around a bit.

Will take another look at it this afternoon and see.

Thanks again!

Deb,

I enjoyed your instrumental. Keeping the arrangement simple retains the warmth of feeling.
You are with the right folks to learn about producing your own music here!

Robert

Thank you Robert!

Nicely done, Deb Very calming, and easy on the ears. Sometimes less is more and this certainly showcases that. Captivating in it's simplicity, and easy to close your eyes get lost to.

Thanks for sharing!

Pretty music!! Has an evocative emotional feeling! Enjoyed! Take care. Greg
