No lyrics... I like doing instrumentals.

Thanks all for listening. Arthur is my 3rd instrumental so I am still learning a lot.

The level of your melody guitar line drops in and out making it a little hard to follow.
I THINK this track is almost mono.
IF you pan things a little - trad. method would work well enough, ( bass and melody up the centre, ppiano one side, acoustic guitar the other and the drum track according to its inbuilt stereo image),then the melody would have some space to shine.

Rayc, thanks for the input.

My guitar track was recorded mono then duplicated. Each of those tracks are set at 90% L and R respectively. Everything else was centered as created in BIAB. (I use audacity for my DAW.)

I do like your idea of moving things around a bit.

Will take another look at it this afternoon and see.

Thanks again!

...Deb

Nicely done, Deb smile Very calming, and easy on the ears. Sometimes less is more and this certainly showcases that. Captivating in it's simplicity, and easy to close your eyes get lost to.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk
