Very country-folky. What synth or soundfont/gigasample did you use for the string section? Also, is that a real violin playing that counterpoint melody, or is it a soundfont/gigasample? The bongos seem fine to me, but I agree that they'd sound better in stereo or center panned instead of hard left. But, why the hip-hop/techno TR-808 drumsound? Especialy that rap/hiphop cowbell seems really out of place to me. I like the warm, woodsy, open, relaxed, folky mix with natural sounds: voice, fiddle, strings, guitar. A real drummer, or samples of a jazz drumkit (i.e. with brushes) might work better there than the mechanical snap of a Dr. Rhythm snare. - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF/iDke8HF+6xeOIcRAq06AKCixkaDMTIkNtlD15vaeL7oGPboKQCffHOw tvlN1PwMaKPdpGfEoFQzX9Q= =JbXV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
