Thanx Will.
Great response BTW 

Yes. Ticks all the boxes - not that I was ever in that position... Nooooo

We'll let you off this time then

Your first love, or at least you thought of it as love. Young girl has crush on young boy but is to shy to say so.  Young boy has crush on her but is also to shy to say so. But they finally meet and live happily for a short period of time before they break up. I'm sure many of us have gone through that extremely nervous, hand sweating first interaction with the opposite ***.

Via my breath and keyboard controllers the Swam flute and the Kontakt bassoon.  Band-in-a-Box is supplying the balance of the tracks.

It isn't my favorite genre either.  I was just trying to prove a point over at PGMusic that Band-in-a-Box is capable of producing this genre.

It's certainly on-style, but really not for me

EDM is a genre that I am not that familiar with but I had some good suggestions on how to improve in that genre.  However mixing for EDM is still my weak point so I am asking if this is a good EDM mix. Thanx in advance for your time.

Yes, I have shelved songs only to come back to them with a fresh idea.

Very much enjoyed this.
Yes, it's often best to keep something that didn't seem to work right, then come back to it later afresh.

The title transition is based on how this song originated to how it was finished. On 4/7 BobH and I were jamming to a low volume click track.  Consequently we varied the temp.  Also there were gaps in our playing and the tone of Bob's guitar was very trebly. No matter what I did I could not get the timing perfect, even with Melodyne, or vary the guitar tone to our satisfaction, thus we decide to junk it. A couple weeks later I had the idea to convert Bob's guitar audio track to MIDI as you all know I work better in MIDI than audio. In MIDI I corrected that tempo, eliminated the gaps, and either rewrote or copy and pasted Bob's guitar track to what you hear now, hence the title Transition.  Band-in-a-Box added the backing tracks and jammed along using my Squire P-Bass and my Xaviere 335 guitar.
