Hi,
I wanted to make a tune faster (it usually takes too much time ).
So I recorded a track, put it on audio, recorded the second track, merged (mixed) the audio with the original (deleted intermediate files), and so on for about 7 times.
Bad thing is now I can't change anything about the mix (realised everything is centered, at the end). Good thing is that it only took 4 hours to make.
What do you think?

It's a great track. I really enjoyed it. 4 hours to make this sounds like very fast work indeed. I doubt that I could write anything 1/10th as good as this in 400 hours. I hope you kept the original individual audio files. I liked the melancholy feel of the piece, and the sound of the piano, which seems to set the other instruments in the correct context. I think this would make a fine soundtrack piece.
Good work

Excellent composition. The mix is quite good. 4 hours well spent!

You process reminds me of what we had to do back in the day on four track recorders. Once you got up to track 3, you had to bounce 1-3 to 4 opening up 3 other tracks, but the next round you only had two tracks to work with since you always had to leave a track open to bounce to.
I really like the the cello and the piano and timpani. I wasn't too keen on the male voices, but that's just personal taste. Pretty melodies. The mix seemed a little concentrated in the mid range, though it didn't sound bad to me. Nice one.

Enjoyed this. I too remember the tape days!
Mono-ness is not necessarily a bad thing, and it works here.

It wasn't me! (well, actually, it probably was) - apparently now an 'elderly' so maybe I forgot!
