Hello,

Longtime since I posted any songs on this site, I have been using BIAB for many years but never really got to its full potential, I play sax but have been out of playing for a couple of years.

About 4 years ago I wrote some tracks for an album but they never really saw the light of day, so I thought it was time to dust them off.

This song was original played on a alto sax but it just didn't sound right think the sax sound just didn't fit.

Anyway I dug out my Casio DH800 plugged it into Garageband and chose an Indian flute and played, this was the results.

The following was used in the track:

BIAB 2013
DangDut1 World style
Coyte DX Sitar Sound
366 Electric Country EV65 Bass
405 Accoustic, Strumming EV120 Guitar
Realdrums Rhumba Brushes

GarageBand and World Jam Pack Indian Flute sound
Logic studio 9 for mixing/mastering

Its called Palace of Splendour and is inspired by The Grand Palace in Thailand (whole album is inspired by my honeymoon out there 12 years ago)

Palace of Splendour

Thanks

Adrian

Adrian,

Very pretty. I like your choice of tracks and the exotic vibe. Personally I like an ending as opposed to a fade.

Nice work.

I like it Adrian! It does have an exotic sound to it, as Josie mentioned. I like the fact that you played the flute (great job!)

Hi Adrian,

this is a nice one. But I like the other stuff
on your site much better. Good sax playing.
There is one (Beach Party) featuring a trumpet.
Is that your DH800, too?

I like this song as it is a pretty melody.

I thought in some places that the mix was a bit crowded in the background thereby distracting from the flute's melody. It was hard to keep my attention on the flute in places due to the things happening in the background and also due to the levels of the back ground instruments.

All in all, I like it..... but would shorten it a bit. Unless something really interesting is going on which warrants a longer song, I try to keep the instrumentals to about 3 minutes give or take.... well, not an strict requirement, but that is MY general rule.

One of the hardest things I've had to learn as a songwriter is not so much what to put in the song, but after having written the song, what to leave out of the song.
