Yes I like it!

Excellent use of BiaB in generating a new age sound. Yes you did capture the snow falling slowly to faster. Excellent mix!


The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal".
Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

Very nice relaxing song that captures the imagination. You have managed to create (in my mind) the image of snow falling and I enjoyed listening.

Well done. Yes, it certainly uses an interesting instrument set with the inclusion of the Pad-Bowed and the Flute.

Mario,

Thank you for your comment. BIAB is a really great application. I am always impressed by its work done to my melody with chords. It is like magic.

I hope I could extract more power from it by learning more about it.
I believe this forum will help me a lot.

Hi VideoTrack,

Thank you for your comment. I believe the tone of 'Fairy tale flute' plays a very important role to make the atmosphere of the song.

Lovely melody.
You surely managed to make us see the snow falling.
The flute is very suitable for this song.

Nicely done. I especially like the tempo change midway through. That was a good idea. I enjoyed my listen. Tom

Hi Noel,

Thank you for your comment. I am glad you enjoy it. I made the melody line of the song as simple or plain as possible. I think it worked well.
