I'm suitably impressed. I didn't have any issues with the mix. It had that professionally mastered feel to it. The piano and guitar were pleasingly crisp. Not sure how you go about editing real tracks but, obviously, it's possible.
Good job. Thanks Ghostgum for your interest and kind words. Re editing RealTracks: first, I usually audition RealTracks through Generate and/or MultifRiff. Then, as most RealTracks these days feature notation of the performance, I simply edit the midi file and then assign it to an instrument (in my case, usually a Kontakt instrument). Thanks again, Mike

Hi Mike,
Somehow I have missed your first version, but this one is very nice. All instruments are on their right spot (to me).
The piano and the bass are prominent, the percussion is very supporting and the trombone (I think it was) had a nice solo.
Altogether, it was mixed very well!
So, a very enjoyable song,
Hans

Mike,
Very cool, soulful instrumental—nice mix and arrangement. Nothing not to like here—stellar.
All my best to you,
Deej Mike,
Your compositions are always enjoyable to listen to.
So well thought out. Not just a rambling instrumental - an actual "song".
Obvious that a lot of work goes into these.
Mix sounds good.
Much enjoyed.
fj Thanks Deej and Floyd for taking the time to listen and for your encouragement. Sorry I took so long to respond but I've been away. Cheers, Mike

Sounds good. The piece keeps moving and keeps the ear engaged. It's obvious that a lot of thought and care went into the arranging and editing.
