Floyd,

Beyond a very sincere "Thank you", I'm not sure how to reply. I'm delighted it all works for you. Deciding on the exact BG tracks was the hardest decision - except the acoustic lead - I immediately knew I wanted it. Mixing in the acoustic rhythm was the most delicate part of the operation. It always came across as a little too much and or not quite enough. So, I had at a point where it sounded like just a little too much and backed it off slightly and that's where I left it. Also, getting the tone exactly where I wanted it took a little time. I wanted it to very slightly ring but nit sound thin or "tinny". I listened to it with each other instrument separately. When I found the one combo (tone-wise) I liked with the piano, I added in the other tracks and made only very minor adjustments at that point. I thought that was the most important pairing as they would be complimenting each other on the opposites sides of the pan. I wanted a mutually supportive balance there.

Anyway, that was probably more than you wanted - just thought I'd pass on my approach for this one. Hope that made some sense

Thank you so much. Wishing you and yours the very best ...

Alan

Alan, the mix is so good!

I see that it's getting good responses as it should.

this breathes, I love it when you hear(feel) the space between the sounds

as far as constructive suggestions, i think it's there, nothing to add

enjoyed the listen!

Hey Alan. Loved this piece. The acoustic sounds so good in this song. Some lovely tones in the song. The bass sounds so cool playing behind the acoustics. Such a nice song. Well done

Hi Scott ...

Thank you so much! I sincerely appreciate your very kind comments. I worked on this one a little longer than I do most of them. It was a delicate balance to get the separation I was looking for.

Again, many thanks!

Alan,

Really nice guitar instrumental!
I agree with Janne.
Fantastic arrangement and mix, the bass and the solo guitar really shine and all instruments blend into nice relaxing ambience.
The chord progression has nice unexpected turns.
This RealTrack soloist makes me think that it was created just to play this song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
