This is really cool stuff!! - thank you both.
I was unsure of the little guitar riff at 1:51, but I have also thought about changing the Acoustic Guitar voice for another (more futuristic) instrument. The riff can be removed and I can drop into the next section a bit smoother.
Whilst looking at drum loops I also discovered some old soundfont files I had stored on here since before 2000
- (probably restored from one of my back-ups) and I've been looking at importing some of the options with those - some nice voice samples there.
Not much progress on the drum track yet... but I'm thinking of attempting to enhance those ambient sections more AND retain the futuristic feel in the middle, instead of the medievil theme.. I think it's mainly the Acoustic run-in that may be the cause - I have a heavy lead synth voice running in that section, which I'm thinking of substituting with a nice Melotron voice re-discovered today..
See how we go -
