Wonderful job.

One observation, I think it takes too long for the vocals to come in at 46 seconds.

The ordinary listener may stumble across this on soundcloud and not listen because they think it is an instrumental.

Generally speaking, a song with vocals should have vocals start at 10 seconds (4 bar intro is standard) to attract more listeners.

Just a thought. Trying to be helpful.

Great performance and mix though.


Agreed! Nicely done. There is nothing wrong with a long intro, particularly with a slow ambient song where you are building the mood. However, in a song like this, 10-15 seconds is plenty to set it up. Very nice song and good vocal/arrangement! Take care. Greg
