It's a lot better now. The opening track is instantly catchy and well-crafted and it makes you want to listen to more. Nice work!

Nice work! Every click another song. biggrin.png When listening to the whole thing, the shortness of each piece left me wanting for more, but not in a way that I felt I couldn't hear enough. That's good!

Thanks a lot, guys. Every opinion from people who work on this field is very important for me!

Hey,

The music sounds pretty good! The MIDI saxophone had me cringing but that's mostly because I'm a saxophonist myself. smile.png When you can, consider hiring live soloist for key spots in your music. It really helps raises the overall production value!

Thanks,

Nate

Thanks for the input, Nate! I agree with you, the ideal would be to arrange at least some players for instruments that have an important role in the song (like the sax on that one) and I really wish I could hire a soloist, but unfortunately money is short, even more in the place where I live. This is even worse at the beginning of the career where everybody wants you to work for them for free. But I sure will hire some soloists as soon as I can, it really makes a great difference! As CCH said, horns are specially hard to do some justice with MIDI.

There may be someone here who understands your struggle. Maybe you can work something out if you get in touch with him in private? tongue.png You never know!

Haha Yeah, you're right, I didn't think about it, but now that you mentioned it, sounds like a good idea! I think Nate is about to receive a PM. tongue.png

great, I love the variety.

You can do slightly longer edits for the tracks you like better, but the equal length makes it more even and easier to listen to.

Thanks Matt! Yeah, that's an idea too. Gonna think about it when I update it again.

It changes too quickly, like from fast to slow it's too big of a change. Music should repeat in different parts of the song. It's really good still.
