Just totally beautiful, i thought of you when these stems went up.

The only thing i was not liking were the crunchy beats. I know you were perhaps going for a contemporary twist but the backing and vocals are wonderful on their own.

Probably, you are quite right, but I couldn´t resist the temptation to use the samples of vo1k1. Thanks for your wise comments. You know to make music and also you know listen.

There are few mixers on here who only deliver profoundly moving music, in fact you may be the only one. (That’s not an insult to anyone, it’s just Onlymeith has yet to do a toe tapper or a humor track :-) ). Sorry Onlymeith, but I would get feedback :-).

Lush and rich as always, but I have to agree with LS, you could lose the beats and possibly make the experience even richer.

Great job.

Its like entering a dreamscape - soft and embracing…Or I am reminded of the intricate weavings of the Unicorn Tapestries - suggestive and rich - mysterious. Incredible harmonious female vocal and lovely musical backing.

Really beatiful OnlyMeith. I like the idea of the drums.. I just think that the pattern of rhythm u used is not the most accurate for this song.. but that’s my humble opinion. But I really like the strength the drums give to this piece in the solo.

Congratulations.. u did a great job..!

As LS said, I tried to give a modern touch to the mix. It´s possible that I´ve chosen the wrong pattern, but I like it :-). Thanks for listen and nice review.

This is a very nice composition, may I enquire on what you used for the strings?

permalink   onlymeith Wed, Jan 14, 2009 @ 2:24 PM
Thanks for listen and review, I´m glad you like it.
For bass strings I have used Yamaha S-80, for intermediate position (chords) Halion Symphonic (Steinberg), and for melodic line Halion Symphonic and Roland JV-1080 (left and right pan).

What I love about your stuff is the joining of musically interesting approaches with a solid emotional appeal; the brain and heart can both enjoy ;-)

Thanks for your words duckett. I agree with you, the brain and heart can both enjoy. The brain makes the technique job, the heart is the life for the song (also for our mortal wrapper):-)

Great music! Great crunching!!

I can see why some would prefer not to have the “crunch” but for me it does add another dimension.

Chilling stuff!

Ok,Ok,Ok,another dimension.
Thanks RT for your support on the beats. Always a pleasure your opinion.

Sorry for being so late OM!

Nevertheless, I heard this track now the fifth time around. Your string arrangement is awesome. LS mentioned it would have been enough with vocals, strings and guitar(?). Yes he is right, but your choosen drums also work for me. Overall very very big cinema!

I have always wanted to write film music so it was like he read my mind! The remix is brilliant. It’s so nice to be remixed by such a big talent.

It´s never too late for a complymentary comment. Ok. I´m not a guitarrist, VG2(steinberg) works for me :-). Thanks Joe for the nice review and your vision about beats.

heart-achingly is a “pain in the heart” :-)

Tranquality has landed in the Forest,got me thinking of the time changes even in the forest..You must of got an editor pick on this track i hope, it seems to me that theirs some bias but that goes on everywhere in todays world as tastes increase. Heck when i was 18 i had a two track mind…Rock and R/B…its got 4 tracks now…hope for 8 tracks!..lol….
A Beautiful Mix Nice Piano you know your timing!
