Like I have said in other comments, I really need spline volume controls on a per track basis which this version of music maker et.al does not have.. that would give me a finer granularity of control.
It helps to listen using a good set of high end headphones as some of my work will kill a cheap pair of pc speakers.
the drums do work well in most places in the piece complementing the strings,
but at other times they due tend to conflict. It may just be a matter to adjust the timing of the entry.
but I sort of like that dichotomy in the piece, sort of like a one act play that has forces alternating between conflict and resolution positions. "War of the Strings".
I am sort of "On the Fence" about what to do.
I am not trying to be mainstream and appeal to the masses, but more advant garde.
