Hi All
This is a song made between Musescore 3 and Band in a box midi.
I rendered this straight from Musescore 3 in which I mixed it with only Pan,Chorus and Reverb .All the backing track midi are from Biab and all the instruments are free ones from Musescore3.So a big shout out to Musescore 3 which is an excellent upgrade and also to BIAB Midi which is fantastic to work with .
It wasnt possible to sweeten the mix much just up and down volume wise.I did a five minute master in Ozone 8.The Genre I am calling Choral Pop for the want of a better term!

Let me know me if you are entertained! urs Hugh

Nicely done...
I haven't downloaded Musescore v3 yet...
But I'll probably get the LinuxAppImage pretty soon.

Hey there Hugh2, fantastic choice of instrumentation on this. The different elements really glue well together and a solid key signature choice too. The reverb really helps piece it all together. Keep it up!


Cheers,
Joe

Nice poppy tune.
Reminded me of Yazoo. For fun I superimposed your tune to Yazoo "Only You" song, sounded pretty interesting.
(played S.Cloud + Youtube at same time)

Thank you for sharing!

Hugh, yes this tune. Open your song in SC and the Youtube link in different windows and just try to play them together. Of course they will not be in sync, but I thought soundscape was pretty cool and worked well smile

Oh yes. Definitely entertained. Loved the strength of the progression which (by itself) was quite melodious in passages. Nice work with the production and dynamics in the backing, ebbing and flowing. I also liked the ending. Unexpected and playful.

Wow - you did a fantastic job! Flows beautifully, and it sounds very lush especially considering it is strictly MIDI. Very dynamic in it's execution, and I love the way it pulses. Very easy and pleasant to listen to.

Great work and thanks for sharing smile
