"Inspiración"

[Link no longer valid]

This is a tune I've been working with since the 70s.
Until now it has sounded pretty ordinary. BIAB's _IMPROV.STY has breathed life into it.

This would go well on a western sound track.
As always very well done. Rob4580

Thanks Rob, you could be right, but I think this one would be better suited to a Western:

It's all midi (no BIAB) so I haven't posted it on the forum

Really nicely done - I agree with Rob, this sound fit in snug as part of a soundtrack. It has a gentle, cinematic feeling to it. Really easy to take and nice and calming.

Thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,

Very pleasant composition. Mix is very solid too.
I think flute might benefit from a little more reverb, but that is only my opinion of taste.

Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Thanks, Torrey. With the majority of backing tracks the choice of individual instruments is much less critical. But when I'm creating an instrumental I find myself trawling through dozens of different instruments to achieve the desired sound and overall feel. Thanks for listening. smile

Hello Ghostgum ...

I'm a sucker for as great instrumental and this has me smiling! The selection of instruments and the mix is as perfect as can be, in my opinion. I thoroughly enjoyed my listen. Nice work in all facets of the song. Great stuff ...
