Greetings!

I've read several of your posts. You are passionate about your hobby. It is great to have someone with your energy and excitement become a member of the forum so welcome!

So you will know what I'm basing my comments on, I'm using an inexpensive Logitech combination open back headphones/microphone headset connected to a V2.0 USB port of an older Windows 7 laptop.

I listened to "Goodbyes To Last Sunset" but did not get very excited about the song. Some of that is because most Latin based material doesn't thrill me.

In this song I don't think the RealTracks instrument selections matches the song very well. They really don't add much feeling to the song. While sampling a selection of other songs you've posted I found many of the instrument arrangements contributed to the feel of the song better than this time. A really good example is "Blazhenniy /Holly Fool". That is a song I enjoyed listening to. I instrument selection was interesting, unexpected and added to the emotion of the song.

Your mix is okay but feels overly compressed with much of the energy squeezed out. You need to add more high frequency content to all you songs but "Goodbyes To Last Sunset" really needs it.

The vocalist (is that you, you have a nice sounding voice) does not sing with energy in this song. In places the words are muddled, not clear. It sounds like the vocalist is not that interested in the song.

Before you discovered Band-in-a-Box, what did you use for backing tracks? I ask because the backing track arrangements are very interesting. The songs labeled simply "1", "2" & "3" are good examples of some interesting song arrangements.
