Default Re: Short midi composition

Richie, my wife says it's not necessarily the tongue, but the lips that do the trick. Your trumpet playing is great, if not just a tad loud in the solo.

As for the "guitar," I think the first problem in the intro is that the two strums are just to the right of the short lead in the stereo spectrum. The two don't sound like they are coming from the same instrument, or position. Also, if you listen closely, the directions the reverbs reflect from those two sounds don't agree. Putting both sounds exactly the same place would be my first attempt to cure their (its?) questionability (did I just make up a word?).

When the guitar strums and the short leads are played with the other instruments, it's not as noticeable.

The mistake in the long lead at 50.5 is too glaring for me. I assume you were looking for the "wow I just made it to that fret" kind of sound for realism. But, if it were my playing, I wouldn't find it acceptable; I'd retake that lick.

Finally, in my opinion the fade out of the bass and organ at the end is a bit abrupt.

I might add that I would love to be able to program the way you do. Really sweet stuff.!
