A new composition

Hey all,

I scored this brief (one minute, 45 second) composition in MuseScore, but instead of exporting a stereo mixdown and mastering from it the way I normally have done, this time I exported each track separately so that I could group them together in Reaper and apply EQ and compression separately to each of the Brass, Winds, Strings and Rhythm sections. I wanted to learn about mid-side EQ, so I did a bit of that, and it's amazingly powerful, but I'm still getting used to it. Then I glued it together with some more compression and mixed it down; and I thought I might share the result here.

Now, had I known that it was less than a week before the amazing version 4.4 of MuseScore Studio was going to be released, I might have waited. (I have to say, slightly off-topic, wow! The new version is much more responsive. I was having trouble with a weird kind of latency and I bought a new sound card and MIDI interface, but nothing helped until this update. I've been so stunned by the major performance improvements I haven't had a chance to check out the new feature additions, but it's a big step forward for all of us, and I want to thank the developers for listening and being so responsive to user concerns. It makes me very happy and I suspect it will do the same for a lot of people.)

Anyway, my composition is randomly titled "Jump the Timeline." [YouTube link: https://youtu.be/PexAgn4yYUg?si=tNz7xWgO_M9uIohh ].

I felt as though I were channeling Les Baxter while I composed it, and after mixdown, I downloaded some public-domain cartoon footage from archive.org and matched the action up to make a kind of music video for it!

Hope you enjoy; if you have time, I would really appreciate any feedback, and since it's on my YouTube channel, it's de rigeur to ask anybody who happens to like it to please like and subscribe.

Thanks again!

Sincerely,
Brandon
