Thanks G. Good feedback as usual. I spent all of a half hour on it - after I laid down the fretless track, it felt…complete. The vocal is so good I didn’t want to tamper with it. But you’re right, a bit more balance is called for. This one is worth doing again, and I’m looking forward to the other mixes of this.

I knew you had fallen for the ‘pella, and posted quickly. Although I tend to post and move on, being of almost no skill, you’re so close to something really fun here that this may be one to remix a bit and place the better mix in place of the one you have. I wish I had your gift for hearing a ‘pella and coming up with a melody. I am lucky to be able to write instrumentals.

Yes, I fell hard, and with limited time these days, wanted to do something, at least.

Like good wine it needs to age - which is why I always wait at least 15 minutes before unscrewing the cap.

I’ll sit on it a bit and then remix it as it matures in my brain.

Wow. You troll in deep waters.

It was 30 minutes - four one take tracks and vocals straight up. A little compression, a little EQ, then master, then post.

If it came off as arrogant, that was not the intention. Just the opposite, really. My time is so limited these days that I normally would have ignored the pella, but I love the depth and feel to it and wanted to do a little something as an acknowledgment to her art. (And since I wrote it, I might as well post it)

Complete simply means I don’t think it needs more keys or horn or whatever - the sonic spaces, while sparse, are enough.

Beethoven got this (Moonlight Sonata with your Boonesfarm, anyone?) I’m just learning this, and not always remembering the lesson.

Do I repeat 16 bar passages? Is that looping? Best review your Beethoven again.

But thanks for the thoughts.

Thanks PC.
