Nice work on this. It moves along nicely with some interesting musical surprises.

I concur with Hacker. I'll add that you created a lush, clear, and pleasing sound with your instrumentation.

Nice. I'd like to hear a little more of the guitar and less of the piano as the piano sounds "generic". Nice mix otherwise. Get Gilmourish in the last 30 seconds.


Cheers

Hi, yes I know what you mean about the piano, I also found the snare to be a little bit too hard in the verses, especially verse 1, I did try to tame it down a little, tried a multiband comp, then a dynamic eq, but in the end, I just notched out a little with eq and automated it, the drums feel a little robotic and brittle, sometimes a vocalist will add lyrics which means that i will then remix them into the music and that changes everything. Thanks again for listening, you all rock!

A very enjoyable soundscape, Darren. I liked your guitar tone and the changes building to a satisfying ending.
It will be interesting to hear how this works with vocals added.

Hey Darren,

Excellent performances and really well balanced. I like how each instrument sits in its own space, and complements the others. Really nice tone and technique on the guitars.
