Title: Tears in Space

SoundCloud Link: Tears in Space

SoundCloud Link for updated mix: Tears in Space - New Mix

Key=F#m, Tempo 87

Instrumental with a bit of Hip Hop flair and Trap style drums.

Style is _COLLIDE.STY (Collide Rock Guitar Alt Hip Hop). I only used the guitar RealTracks.
RealTracks in style: 1831:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopModernGrooveBrightA-B Ev16 075
RealTracks in style: 1831:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopModernGrooveBrightA-B Ev16 075

Guitar is double tracked with slight variation in each track. Starts at about 1:39 into the song. The MIDI from the guitar parts are also used for a piano part after some editing to make more suitable for the piano. This piano part (again double tracked) starts at about 32 seconds into the song.

Studio One used for DAW.

Hello Mark,
Welcome back.
I look forward to listening BUT I don't know you or your work so being given a choice, at this early stage, is a little problematic.
It'd be reasonable, and fair to other posters, if you chose just the one song for your return.
Things get pushed from page one and into the ether very quickly when multiple drops occur.
Oh, it'll also be excellent, this time around if you responded to at least some comments left for you.
Tears in Space...
I quite like the non percussive elements but the drums really don't work for me so far up front. When they drop back a little or are consumed by the other parts it's pretty cool though.


Cheers

Mark, this is really good.
I agree with Ray that the drums some be more in the background.
I also think that synth sound should be more up front.
But regardless this is a really good song.

Hi Mark ...

Pretty much agree with Ray and Mario - particularly about the synth = should be more forward in the mix. The solo acoustic rhythm - with it continuing in the background for a while afterward, was real nice.

Nicely done!

Alan

Thanks for the feedback about the mix. After listening again on my headphones instead studio monitors, I agree with suggestions. I have reposted the song on SoundCloud with updated mix (-3db on the drums, +4db on the atmospheric synth.)

Mark ...

I just listened to the remix and, in my opinion, it's really good. Bringing the synth up did the trick for me ... I like it!

Seems I always agree with those guys who've already commented here, and once again I agree, and you did an excellent job following their advice. Man, that remix sounds so good. Yes, the double tracking really brought them both out and outstanding. I really like the way you build the song, and how you incorporate such good dynamics. Well written and produced, Mark.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Mark,
Interesting modern instrumental. Good arrangement and clear mix. I think piano could use a bit more reverb, but that is a thing of a taste. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Very interesting piece, I really enjoy the combination of different styles and instruments. The chord progression is quite unique and drives the haunting space mood. Hip-hop elements are nicely present. The move from piano via acoustic guitar to the rock guitar is refreshing. The synth is eerily effective.

[ I listened to the remix ]
The percussion style isn't my thing, but other than that, it's a good song that kept me engaged until the end.
Good work.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
