Hi David,
This is a fine listen!
The trumpet is superb. It reminded me of the trumpet sound in "Il Silenzio" - such a smooth and relaxing tone and you have achieved the same ambience.
Your orchestration is excellent. I always admire how you manage to accomplish what you do. The overall mix you have created warms the heart and comforts the mind. You have definitely achieved a 70s vibe. That said, though, this music stands outside of time.
I enjoyed it.
All the best,
Noel

Trumpets are a bit too pronounced for my taste, a bit too "on top", but I like what you did with acoustic guitar, it sounds and seats perfectly. Hi, Misha. Yeah, I really struggled with the trumpet - too far back, too up front... I finally got tired of mixing and figured it was good enough.  The acoustic guitar was even more of a puzzle - I wanted it to be clear, but not so loud that it didn't sit in the mix. As usual, most of the solution was to take out the tracks in the background that were competing with it. Thanks for listening!

How you do all this is way above our production pay grade but we certainly do enjoy it! Hi, J&B. Thanks for stopping by to comment! I really liked that backing track, but had given up on being able to use it with anything. That should - but probably won't - teach me to polish up a track before making sure it's in a singable range. I'm glad you enjoyed the listen. Goodness knows I've certainly enjoyed the songs that you've done and sung on.

Strong trumpet part, delivered together with a great vibe throughout the entire song.
The key change for the chorus worked really well, giving added direction. Thanks for listening, and taking the time to say nice things! I appreciate it.

Really engaging melody and the trumpet suits very well to represent it. Nice chording - especially when a major chord is changed to its minor version (reminds me of some Alan Parsons song). Hi, Janne. I'm a huge Alan Parson fan, so I'll take that as a compliment. I was aiming for a sort of wistful mood with the song, with a touch of melancholy. This the minor shift. Unfortunately, there's bit of a gap between a plan and the final product.  Thanks for stopping by!

You certainly like how to meld musical pieces together to make a song...
And how you present the background material you used to put your tune together...
It easy to see you put a lot of energy & thought into your work...
I enjoyed listening Hi, Jim. I'm glad it all came together as well. Thanks for the positive feedback!

Hi Dave,
that is just beautiful, so well arraged. I really could imagine that it would work very well with some vocals. But it's also just as great as an instrumental. Very nice.
Take care,
Stefan

David,
William Rayer here. How would you like me to record a real trumpet for you on this track. Though this trumpet sample is very good, It doesn't sound real to me. Just a thought, I would gladly do this.

Sure! What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Message me and we can work out the details of how format you need, etc.. And feel free to improve the part as you see fit.
