That's really nice, Peter. Could be used on a travel channel, easily.

Re: first go at counterpoint - instrumental
Thank you, Tom. I still need to clean up the mix a bit. Maybe even throw in some ukulele bass (Kala U-Bass).

Re: first go at counterpoint - instrumental
Hey Peter
You got some good stuff going on. To my ears, it's too busy with the various instruments not blending all that well together especially timing wise. A few mandolin notes sound off tune to me. The mandolin is also a bit harsh and piercing. Caveat: My ear for pitch and timing isn't the best so I welcome comments that don't hear it that way.
If your only objective is to practice counterpoint and not make a marketable sync track, all well. I have a feeling that may be more what you wanted.
Hope to see you at Denny's in November!

I'll rerecord it, and get the rhythm guitar squeaks out, too.Casey H wrote: ↑Sun May 14, 2023 6:17 pmHey Peter

It's a work-in-progress; thanks for the feedback.
Not sure about the RR 2023.

Hi Pedro. Nice track .I am not quiet sure when you post here if you are looking for feed back or not or just sharing your music since it's not in the peer tp peer section.

Re: first go at counterpoint - instrumental UPDATED
Thanks, Andre.
Since I don't have intentions of submitting this track, it's posted here instead of the Peer-To-Peer, were I to be in search of critiques and feedback.
That stated; some folks still wanna comment and offer suggestions. Meanwhile, I still hear stuff in this mix that I'll probably address/change in the future.
There's no deadline to make - so, for now - it is what it is: my first attempt at melody & counterpoint.
