Inner Peace


If you are not at peace with yourself you will never be at peace with the rest of the world.

BiaB style = C2_Andy- EV8 Country Ballad
Tempo = 75

I deleted the drums because the MIDI chart version of the RD was nothing like the actual RD.

Drums - Steven Slate SSD-5 - preset Deluxe Funk - MIDI loops from Groove Monkey
Bass = Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Virtuoso bass
Cellos - bass track 8via - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Virtuoso Cello
Piano - EZ Keys Dream Machine - MK Dreams
High strings - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Virtuoso strings
Low strings - high strings down one octave - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Virtuoso strings
Note - all tracks modified to my liking and hopefully yours also

I am playing the following:
My nylon String guitar
My keyboard controller - cello solo - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter Lyric Series - Benning Cello
My wind controller - Kontakt - Jubal Flute

FXs - all but the drum tracks = Presonus Pro EQ
All drum tracks - Wave's CLA drums
All but the bass, cello and kick drum = Raum reverb
My nylon string guitar and wind controlled flute - Presonus limiter
Master - Presonus Pro EQ

Let me know what you think.

This song has a really lovely, serene, and easy quality to it. It was definitely a very calming experience to listen to it. Great job!


Cheers,
Ember

Smooth and mellow as a lazy summer's day.

I really love the tone of the Jubal Flute - it's got an almost saxophone feel.

Nice mix and balance between the instruments. Well, the guitar comes in a bit loud at 2:35.

The strings playing the counter line at the end worked really well.

So... peaceful... so... sleepy. wink

Good work!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Just gotta tell you Mario
By devine intervention I was listening to your beautiful music whilst discovering that my daughters new puppy was chewing the laces on my prized Berluti shoes ! Your calming music probably saved the mutts life!
Artful and soulful music.
cheers
Gary.

If you're not at peace with yourself, listen to this, That's my advice. The flute floats me away and that sweet guitar makes me glad I did. Then the flute brings me higher --or lower, can't tell which-- and each new horizon becomes clearer. Beautiful, Mario.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Mario,

Excellent.

All the parts are well done. Cool flute, smooth nylon. Everything fits. Really nice mix.

Beautiful.

Mario,
Good deal! Nice playing on your wind controller. Nylon guitar has a very nice line, kind of slow Bossa motif.
Since you are open to comments, here is my 3 cents. I think from 1:04 to 1:40 strings overpowering guitar... And I would prefer to hear more of that guitar in that segment. Also a spike in a guitar, which David mentioned. Other than that, very nice.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

The flute is very human voice like...nice.
Your nylon guitar playing is lovely but yes that 1st phrase at 2.30 odd is loud and is visually marked on the wave form too. It alters the perceived volume of the phrases after it.
I'm not sure this needed the percussion so far forward but that's not a deal breaker anyway.


Cheers

Thanx so much David for the comments and the constructive criticism. I was having problems in that area and thought that I had it right but obviously I was wrong so thanx for pointing that out.
