Ok here’s a touch up on the drum velocities, please see what you think Larry. The ending is shorter as suggested, and I did a little something to the M8.
As far as reverbs and delays, I plan to leave that to the guy I’m sending it to. He has better reverbs than Roomworks or Reverence.
I couldn’t find the Solitude Lead preset in Sonic SE (Artist 7), but there are strings in the background. I’m having a hard time finding anything better in my sound library than what I’m using right now.
One thing that bothers me is when you hear the piano parts without drums, there’s not alot of nuance in the performance, this is of course because I’m using a Yamaha C7 which is notorious for being a bit bright with too much bite. I’ve tried replacing it altogether with a Bosendorfer or Steinway but neither has the balls to pull off the rest of the song. Would it be bad to introduce for instance a Bosendorfer on only the solo parts or would that be a bad practice?
