Re: My second album is done!

[Gabbe Nord <gabbe.nord@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you so much for you comments everyone!! Really wonderful to hear, thanks!

Brendan: We spoke briefly on IRC, but thank you very much again!

Juan: Thank you very much! It's actually not Hydrogen at all, but only the Salamander Drumkit through LinuxSampler, sequenced in Ardour. And I agree with the realism on the drums, I wish I had more of an ear for what sounds real and not with drums. However, usually I make a conscious choice to trade realism for an additional sound I like or so. Like in the 3rd song Still, where I'd like to meet the drummer who could play the ride, hihat and snare the same way that I've made it :D

Rusty: Thanks! I'm glad the production seems to hold in your headphones too!

Devin: Oh, thank you so much! It makes me very glad that you commented the transitions as well, I was aware it was a bit of a gamble to put them in, but hopefully they weren't too much!

I'm listening to your album while writing code.  I'm really enjoying
your music.  The melodies are beautiful.  The transitions between
songs are beautifully executed, and yet each song is obviously
distinct from the others before it.  Each part sits in the mix on its
own, and doesn't crowd the other parts.

If I had to pick one target for improvement, I'd say that the mix
feels a bit too compressed in some parts of the first couple songs;
however, I think now that might be an artistic choice, as the fourth
and fifth songs have a lot of interesting, fantastic dynamics.

I love the use of resonance in the synth sound at the end of "Come and Play".

Great job.
