Here's where I'm going with this song. First what I need from members here is their opinions on the string section. The song consists of Piano, and several of my custom edits which include; Slow Cello, Slow Violin, and Slow Oboe.

I purposely reduced the piano track because I want the strings to stand out more since that's my focus and the area I'm needing input on.

There is one sour note (barely noticable really), but at the end if you listen real close you'll hear me slip off the (A Flat) with one of the string voices. Chalk it up to an OOOPS

Anyway I'm wanting to keep this song at two minutes and no more. Reason is my daughter likes to listen to it, but she's only 3 years old. Her attention span barely reaches two minutes Those with children know what I'm talking about.

I'm looking for any suggestions. Personally I love the string section.

Here's the link. Hope it works

Squeak it sounds like the WK records pretty nice...Now you have to put a vocal track down, so you can break in to the top 10..at SZ..

Fran,
It sounds a hell of a lot better on the WK itself The MP3 conversion doesn't due it justice. On the WK the strings sound very nice. I don't think I'll add vocals to this one. I'll have it finished by Sunday evening. I want to keep it a nice soft instrumental for my baby girl.

SemiLive,
If it isn't downloading for you I can send you the actual WAV file itself (it will sound much better than the MP-3).

Hi Squeak,
it sounds very nice. Got a real classical feel about it.
I don't think mp3's really do a recording total justice, but they are a great way of sharing music.

best wishes
Rikki

Squeak,
I can only agree with what the others have said. Very soothing, melodic and and your little girl must be very special if she inspires such creativity.

I adore the key change at the end. Nice work.... you should post more often!
Best wishes
Tony

Glad you liked it Tony. That key change in the end will actually be the ending to the song itself. I've got to rearrange a few things.

Squeak,

I've tried at 3 different days, and times to access your song and recieved "Server Busy"

Sidebar question....Does the Casio 3/3500 have OTS (Where The Right Hand voice changes within a style progression)?

Thanks
Larry
