Inner Peace


If you are not at peace with yourself you will never be at peace with the rest of the world.

BiaB style = C2_Andy- EV8 Country Ballad
Tempo = 75

I deleted the drums because the MIDI chart version of the RD was nothing like the actual RD.

Drums - Steven Slate SSD-5 - preset Deluxe Funk - MIDI loops from Groove Monkey
Bass = Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Virtuoso bass
Cellos - bass track 8via - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Virtuoso Cello
Piano - EZ Keys Dream Machine - MK Dreams
High strings - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Virtuoso strings
Low strings - high strings down one octave - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Virtuoso strings
Note - all tracks modified to my liking and hopefully yours also

I am playing the following:
My nylon String guitar
My keyboard controller - cello solo - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Lyric Series - Benning Cello
My wind controller - Kontakt - Jubal Flute

FXs - all but the drum tracks = Presonus Pro EQ
All drum tracks - Wave's CLA drums
All but the bass, cello and kick drum = Raum reverb
My nylon string guitar and wind controlled flute - Presonus limiter
Master - Presonus Pro EQ

Let me know what you think.

This song has a really lovely, serene, and easy quality to it. It was definitely a very calming experience to listen to it. Great job!

Smooth and mellow as a lazy summer's day.

I really love the tone of the Jubal Flute - it's got an almost saxophone feel.

Nice mix and balance between the instruments. Well, the guitar comes in a bit loud at 2:35.

The strings playing the counter line at the end worked really well.

So... peaceful... so... sleepy.

Good work!

Just gotta tell you Mario
By devine intervention I was listening to your beautiful music whilst discovering that my daughters new puppy was chewing the laces on my prized Berluti shoes ! Your calming music probably saved the mutts life!
Artful and soulful music.
cheers
Gary.

Love the melody you are playing on the flute! Nice sound too.

Also the guitar part really works well.

Nice piece, Mario, enjoyed.

If you're not at peace with yourself, listen to this, That's my advice. The flute floats me away and that sweet guitar makes me glad I did. Then the flute brings me higher --or lower, can't tell which-- and each new horizon becomes clearer. Beautiful, Mario.

Mario,
You're stuff is always so soothing.
Nice playing!

I'm closer to peace now.

Mario...Wow! you sure named this one correctly...this piece is serene...great for meditation, reading and just taking a break from it all....sometimes the words just get in the way...beautiful!...loved it...Dan

PS: the first group I ever played with was called "Peace"...just had a flashback.

Mario,

Excellent.

All the parts are well done. Cool flute, smooth nylon. Everything fits. Really nice mix.

Beautiful.

Mario,
Good deal! Nice playing on your wind controller. Nylon guitar has a very nice line, kind of slow Bossa motif.
Since you are open to comments, here is my 3 cents. I think from 1:04 to 1:40 strings overpowering guitar... And I would prefer to hear more of that guitar in that segment. Also a spike in a guitar, which David mentioned. Other than that, very nice.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

The flute is very human voice like...nice.
Your nylon guitar playing is lovely but yes that 1st phrase at 2.30 odd is loud and is visually marked on the wave form too. It alters the perceived volume of the phrases after it.
I'm not sure this needed the percussion so far forward but that's not a deal breaker anyway.

Thanx so much for listening and commenting Ember. I appreciate it.

Thanx so much David for the comments and the constructive criticism. I was having problems in that area and thought that I had it right but obviously I was wrong so thanx for pointing that out.

Gary I am glad that you liked this little ditty but I am really glad that I saved that puppy's life

Thanx so much for listening and commenting on this song.

I'm glad that you liked this song. I appreciate your comments.

'far out' om!

Thanx for listening.

Thanx Marty for these very nice comments.

Thanx Moto. I guess I will have to rough it up a little on my next one!

I'm very happy that you liked this one firesong.

I hope it was a happy flashback.

Thanx so much Floyd.

Misha, thanx so much for listening and those very helpful constructive criticisms. Having listeners like yourself help me become a better musician and producer.

Thanx for listening and commenting. I appreciate your honest evaluations of my songs. Constructive criticism like this helps me become a better musician and producer so thanx for that.

Lovely in a most superb manner.

That flute is over the top engaging! In tone and melody.

Excellent indeed.

J&B

A truly lovely piece of music Mario!!! Love your feel on the nylon stringed guitar!!! Flute is also beautifully done!! Take care. Greg

The song is aptly titled.

The flute is lovely, and I particularly like your nylon guitar performance.

If you're not, you should be making $$$ on your compositions. They are so good.

Mario

Lovely work, the flute in particular is exceedingly pretty.

A very peaceful listen.

Peter

Thanx so much J&B.

Greg, thanx for listening and commenting.

Thank you so much for those extremely nice comments.

Thanx Peter

Mario,

Very pretty, very soothing piece of music. Soft and sweet on the ears. Lovely composition.

My very best to you,

Deej

I closed my eyes and listened so I can attest that it really works as a meditative piece to find Inner Peace. Nice work.

Mario, you create some of the most beautifully haunting melodies. Man, I just can't get enough of your compositions. You know how to capture a feeling! Thanks for always providing us with your works.

Hi Mario,

Love that flute, the vibrato is so well done, soulful. Your nylon string guitar sounds great, well recorded.

On AKG K240 headphones, the stereo on this track is so spacious.

I could do with a touch more bass. Now listen thru Kali LP-8 monitors, still wanting more bass.

Thanks for sharing,

Frank

Deej, thanx so much for listening and commenting. I appreciate it.

I'm glad that I could help you find your inner peace. We all need to do that!

Thanx so much for these very kind words.

Also do not listen to my Synth Demo, I don't want to ruin my reputation. Well maybe it is to late for that now!

Thanx Frank for listening and commenting. I will try to remember about the bass. Thanx for bringing that up.

Mario,

Nylon guitar is very tasty.
Also flute is very nice.
These two instruments produce a very rich sound scene.
What a mellow.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Inner peace certainly, I can feel the paradise with colorful flowers and bright green trees. Beautiful melody and chord progression, nice arrangement with lovely guitar and heavenly flutes, maybe the drums could be less pop and more classical but that is just a little bee in my ear.

Janne

Thanx so much Shigeki for listening and the very nice comments.

Thanx for the classical drum suggestion. Yes that may have been a better choice.

Going back some pages on the forum to find the people we know from some years ago, we found this one.
It's late in the evening, our pellet stove is burning and we listen to this really quiet, peaceful music.
Couldn't be a better moment.

Rob and Anne-Marie

Mario,

This is a lovely sound! It's got such a tender vibe going on! Especially love the nylon string! Great work! Thanks, Torrey
