And your rating of mine! Haven't listened to all your compositions yet but they are great. Go Aussie!



Good day all,

I put up a new version of Scene1 today, Cut the piece in half, down to 1 minute add some strings and fixed simplified the base part. I like this version, please let me know what you think.

Thank you for your time

Sincerely,

David

Thanks for your comments on a walk through the bush. Totally agree with them. Would appreciate some input from you regarding sound pallets if you have time and feel that I might have to start by upgrading my hardware and software. Will definitely follow your advice re mixing. Thanks again

If you are a mac user, consider the benefits of PC, better in many ways than mac unless you like MOTU.

Check this machine out and its upgrade capabilities.

When looking at sample libraries, listen to the demos they offer and be aware that some of the sample in the demo may not be in the particular library you are scoping out. I strongly encourage anyone to set up a stereo system in the same conical position as their reference monitors. Examine other song, see how they are produced. Take notes (on paper) on stereo placement of instrument elements. Notice the dynamic contrast between solo instruments and whole sections, and how whole sections contrast with other whole sections in stereo placement as well as dynamics, and over all volume. Engaging in this exercise before and during production will help you make well founded decisions about your production and keep you focused and on track about how it "OUGHT" to sound.

Allan,

Thank you for your review of Blue Butter Fly from my Acoustic Solo Piano CD, Castle of Dreams. I agree the song should have been shorter.

Thanks Again
