Reminds me of the instrumental stuff Mark Knopfler did for the movie "Local Hero".
Very well done, I enjoyed the listen.

Thanks a lot for taking a listen, best regards from the UK!

I found the noise to the left quite off putting...I assume some of it was/is string noise and some of that exaggerated by delay.
Given that there's so much space and calm in the piece the invasive elements weren't helpful to the overall sound nor my ability to focus on it.
The piano, melodic guitar parts etc are well realized and sound lovely.
Cheers

Hi Ray, thanks a lot for your constructive comments and for taking a listen - the string squeaks and reverb/delay you hear on the left are present in the 2 guitars (L & R) which I used from the BB style 'Golden Hour' as a starting point!
I know of only one effective method to remove string squeaks - iZotope Audio RX10 Standard, they had it on offer last week but I just missed it! It's normally quite expensive at $399 and me being an old pensioner I can't lash out at anything I fancy - as far as I know the cheaper RX10 Elements doesn't have the ability to remove squeaks? Grateful for any advice on this subject please!
Really glad you liked the other aspects of my recording,
Cheers Ray, Carl

RAY - when I first mixed this tune I was aware of the string squeaks and EQ'd some of it out, I've now had another go at reducing the squeaks with EQ (at the risk of making the BB guitar on the left dull)!
In doing so some of rhythmic feel was lost I think (it was fluid anyway), so I have looped a very soft hand drum beat underneath the mix - in the hope of glueing it together better, hope you approve?
Thanks again Ray, Carl

Selected instruments create very pleasant soundscape, the piano and that indie guitar especially. Everything is mixed very well. I really enjoyed the chord progression and the melody, such soothing melancholy feeling like returning after a sunny beautiful holiday. 6 minutes long, but I could listen to this even more.

Carl, this is a brilliant piece of music, its my kind of song.
Are you playing all of the instruments you listed or are they RTs?
If you are playing that nylon you did one heck of a job on it!
Great mix.
Have you ever noticed there are no lines to a bathroom at a water park?

Hi Mario, glad you like my tune - I simply used my own chord sequence in the BB Style 'Golden Hour', only used the 2 rhythmic Indie guitars L & R from that style! Then I added bass/piano/guitar swells on the keys myself - then the nylon & ac guitar parts, did a fair bit of small detail MIDI/Audio editing as my timing is sluggish at 74. Then I mixed and mastered it the best I could - it was just the 'feel' of the 'Golden Hour' style which grabbed me, a new mood for me to try out.
Thanks a lot for listening and for your nice comment!!
Cheers from the UK,
Carl

Carl...this is such a nice sound-scape to listen to...you possess a great talent instrumentally and this a fantastic piece...it takes a long tedious time but when I hear string squeaks on the BiaB tracks I go in and go through the wave and target each squeak (they're easy to see on the waves) and highlight them and pull them down 6-9dB...that way you only kill the squeak and don't effect the whole track...if the mix is full you can't tell that the track has been modified...and the squeaks are gone! no one likes mice in the music...love the song!

Hi Dan, so grateful for your advice on pulling down the wave files to minimise the individual string squeaks - looking forward to trying that as soon as relevant!!
Really chuffed you like my tune - thanks very much for your nice comments and for listening!!
No more mice in the music - great!!
Best regards from the UK, Carl

Hey Carl, at first I thought the squeeks were water droplets or similar effect.
You did a great job in arranging this. Very peaceful and calm.
Well done.
