Its really admirable that you crafted nearly the entire piece
from your own performances. Its a very sweet
composition. Great vocals, including the harmonies. Very
clear and confident.

I'm listening to this late at night, so I can't really crank the
volume for a good listen. From what I can tell the
recordings are all very sharp. The flute does seem to
disappear a little from time to time. You might try
applying one of the vocal compressors to that track to
help elevate the more quiet moments. It seems you have
everything centered in the sterio field. Even a little
panning, doubling, and chorus will help separate your
instruments for the listener. This is especially true for the
backing vocals.

Its a really well-concieved piece and a great vehicle for
your many talents!

This is a really nice tune. I really like that chorus. Great
harmonies. The guitar is hard to hear. It may be a
combination of it being a bit too low and it's thin tone
getting lost in the other parts. You might pan it over to
the right to give it it's own space.

But it sounds quite nice and very well performed all
around. You have a real nice voice and it would be a
pleasure to hear it trhough a better mic. It sounds like
you used the pinhole mic which does sthe trick, but a
good mic would do wonders.

Very enjoyable and, as chikoppi said, sweet.

I dig the march feel, the uplifting sense. Very solid song and
nice audio concept. Very strong pop tune. It does sound like
a demo, with a certain lack of variation in the piano and
percussion tracks, but I really liked it nonetheless. Nice
harmonies. Nice track.

That's exactly what I needed to know! I bought a book on Garageband and it had a whole section on panning the instruments and I completely forgot about it. That's right, I do have everything right in the middle. I'm going to go back and switch things around and make the flute a little louder in some sections. As well as the piano doesn't have much variation. I'll try and come up with some different little melody for it. I basically just play 4 chords over and over again. The guitar is quiet and has a "Dreamy" effect on it. I'm very new at playing it and didn't want to sound bad since I'm not too good at strumming yet. Thank-You so much for those suggestions. You really helped me out! ~*Sarah*~

All agreed with the above peoples. the weakest point of
the song is the drumbeat. it really is too synthetic against
your very organic voice and piano work.

I would love to throw some crazy drums on this if you
were intrested on someone elses take and twist of your
wondeful song.

Great job.

I find that you seem well rounded when it comes to music. I think your uncle is right. Your a natural. Very nice song...I bet you hear music in your head when you wake up in the morning.

Regards,
