Hi Darren, 

the problem with asking people who mix tracks, We'll all have different ideas 
on what is or isn't needed.
A good example is no one seemed to like the chorus on the sax but you must have 
liked it in the first place to have chosen to put it on.
I too thought the chorus added something positive to quite a dull sounding sax, 
(the chorus may have been a little too heavy for my liking)? there I go 
advising.

I personally think you need to ask yourself:
Do you want a track that so generic that it is beautiful like the other stars 
in the sky so gets lost in the vastness of the Universe? or do you want a track 
that shine so bright, everyone looks up at that star.

Purple Rain, did it need a bass guitar?

We all are given amazing helpful tips that make our projects sound better, 
however, there comes a point where you must decide it's finished. it's taken me 
years to be able to say that with conviction, as you know, I was the Worlds 
worst for going back to projects.

  Hi Phil.

  Thanks for taking a listen.

  I think I'm going to leave it alone for a couple of weeks or I'll get fed up 
of hearing it.

  When I can hear it with fresh ears, I can see what I think needs changing.

  Thanks again, appreciate it.

  Cheers

  Darren.  That's way better!  A couple of thoughts.  Not personally keen on 
the slight chorus on the acoustic guitar at the start of the track.  Also not 
keen on the chorus on the piano solo track but hay, that's just me.  Could hear 
chorus on a rohds that is, if you ended up using one of those instead.  Am a 
bit of a purist when it comes to such things.  Great job though!

  Hi folks.

  Well after your great feedback, I took this whole track back to basics.

  I kind of got carried away the first time round, so I've stripped down the 
track and I think it sounds much better for it.  Much more breathing space...

  Feedback as ever is always appreciated.

  Cheers
