This relates a bit to the last track I posted so I've given it a similar title. I used the same basic 'Answers' midi style....

https://soundcloud.com/user-663569023/soundtrack-to-the-question

Bass: PopHalfNotesSync Ev85 (Playing Ample Upright)
I used the 'accoustic guitar' midi to play a Pianoteq EP
I use 'pad bowed' and 'Strings Rhythm Celtic Air Ev85' to play Synthmaster synth sounds.

Drums are programmed in Logic Drummer (Playing EZ Drummer instrument)

I am playing two different guitars, my Epiphone Broadway and my strat.

Mixed in Logic.

Thanks for listening....

Lovely song Chris. Back track instrument and style choice was very nice. Your guitar work sounded great. Loved your phrasing and choice of effects. Well done

Mellow and calm - nice.
Whatever effect you've placed on the bass seems to send signal to the right as well but not left which is weird and unbalanced to my ears. I prefer bass up the middle and without modulation or reverb when possible - just personal taste. No one else has mentioned it so it may be me mishearing something.


Cheers

Hey, rayc, well spotted. I had the bass set slightly left in the mixer but when I checked the instrument itself it was panned right...don't know how that happened... There are no effects on the bass apart from eq and compressor. I've updated the original but will have to check out how to update it on souncloud..... I think I have to delete the old track and do a fresh upload. Maybe tomorrow....

Hi Chris ...

What a wonderful listen! I, too, get the bass line on the far right. yeah, a little unbalanced, as Ray commented, but it didn't diminish my enjoyment of your great song.m Chill and relaxing ... totally loved my listen. You have a nice touch on your guitar ... very, very pleasant!

As far as posting and edited version, simply pull up your track on Soundcloud, click the "edit" tab, and at the top of the page simply click onto the "Replace File" tab. Then upload the edited file as you did the original. Soundcloud will then replace the original file with the edited/remixed file. then simply save it. That's all there is to it.

Again, really nice! Best to you. Be safe ...

Alan

Actually rayc, I was still having trouble with the pan. I'd set it centre on the instrument and the mixer and it still kept resetting to the right. I finally tracked it down. The panning was incorporated in the midi information that was transferred from BIAB and I had to go into the midi automation panel... Something to be aware of in future....

Thanks Alan, it seems you need the 'pro' version of soundcloud to use that edit feature. I may have to upgrade from the free version as I can see that would be very handy..... glad you enjoyed the music. I haven't been posting here for long and am still getting to know my way around, listen to all the music and meet everyone....

Finally figured out how to fix the bass panning and have replaced the file with an updated version. Thanks rayc.

We both learnt something then Chris.
I make a point of turning off reverb, maxing volume (100), returning EQ and panning settings to 0 before exporting tracks from BIAB to Reaper. That allows much more flexibility in the box.
Sounds much better now.
I've no acquaintance with MIDI so avoid it where & when I can.
