@packrobottom @TripleM @subvibe @HumanPlanet . Thanks guys for the listen and comments. The link now reflects a new mix and master. The vocal issues were addressed , a lot of tedious editing everywhere, added another cello track to the break. Special "thanks" to Gary Brun from Krakstad Norway...

@packrobottom , @TripleM . Thanks guys for the reply and suggestions. I'm currently working on the concerns you both mentioned. The main tabla track is one long loop. I've been cutting it up, and using fades and automation to try and give it a different feel. The bongos that come in and out...

Hello , here's one I'm just finishing up. It's been in the works for years after watching a documentary about creamations on the Ganges river in India. Strange subject .. I know. Thanks for your time , comments, crits and suggestions .. mark https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14761020

Sounds Very convincing and well mixed/mastered. I watched an in depth documentary last night about AI in the medical field. Amazing. It probably wont take long for AI to write, produce, mix , and master songs with very little Human Planet input. Reality is already getting blurred. Great...

I Loved the intro section.. Perfect ! I think it got shut down early by the opening falsetto vox track. I think I would drop the opening vocals and bring her in @ 0:37 and "back off" the autotune. Sounds good on the lower frequencys , but on the highs it gets distracting from an organic feel...

Thanks , I had a Great time mangling that one. @TripleM I Appreciate the comment. There's a new version up now , don't know which one you heard. A friend of mine (Gary Brun) in Norway got a copy and remastered it. On my monitors it sounds Pristine with with a Lot more clarity. I'm going to live...

I Loved it ! Your mixing and mastering skills Really came through on this one. It was minimal enough to keep you feeling everything without getting crowded and distracting from the Vibe. Impressive .. mark

@Random dude Thanks , I really appreciate Arabic music as well , but there's no way I can produce it. Western with an Indian flair is about as close as I can get to Indian music. I've got a Lot more stuff on Sound Cloud https://soundcloud.com/user-810058643 and normally post there after all...

Thanks , I just realized this was the song I used some of the midi guitar files you sent me. 😁 I learned the parts , tuned down, slowed it down a little and played it on my Godin nylon hybred guitar. I'm working on two Indian influenced songs at the same time , and getting them confused with...

Hello. Yep .. another laid back instrumental with an Indian vibe. Nylon guitar, bass and cello are sharing the melody lines. I used midi tabla and Sitar from Indian Dream , (thus the title) and some Ooohs and Aaahs from a Cakewalk Vst. As always crits and suggestions are weclomed . Thanks for...

I think you did a Fantastic job ! This is Especially impressive for such an ambtious project. I can't imagine even attempting to pull this off. I Really liked your vocals. Hope you find the time and ambition to post more.. Enjoyed it .. mark

Very smooth guitar work . You definetely got the Pink Floyd vibe working . Enjoyed it .. mark

During the restructuring "Cakewalk by Bandlab" was re-branded back to "Cakewalk" for the new releases. The original code writers and Bakers of the Cakewalk "group of old" , went straight to work for Bandlab when they aquired it from Gibson. They are still around and "active" on the Cakewalk...

https://www.cakewalk.com/sonar Without much fanfare Cakewalk made the new "Sonar" and "Next" available for early access. Both have been in Beta testing for a while with the power users. I've been following those who have been commenting on the new programs on the Cakewalk forum , and all...

Love the song and the Bowie feel ! I think there's a problem with the low instruments fighting for space and robbing the clairity. I would start with bass against the kick and low toms. Just my 2 cents .. Still Nice .. mark
