Song of India by Rimksy-Korsakoff

Figured this would be a great piece to make use of the cool Sitar2 tone.

For some reason nothing happens when I click on the file...

 

I was able to download the file using Video Downloader, but the link didn't work.

That's a beautiful melody, and well played! Makes for a good lullaby, I just woke up, now I'm sleepy again!

Did you record this in one track with layered piano, strings, sitar or did you record separate tracks with each tone? Sounds very nice.

Thanks for the compliment.  I used 4 MIDI tracks: 

1. Piano+Strings (layered)
2. Sitar
3. Electric piano
4. acoustic bass

Then I tweaked each track using the Mixer.  I used the "secret" Store+Midi button to save the mixer settings to the MIDI file (great tip I found on this forum).

Hi nice cover. Which Casio instrument are you playing?

 

The Sitar sound is very beautiful, IMO you could make it a bit more prominent to emphasise then “Indian feel” of the song, for instance by using the Sitar as a solo instrument to play a few measures of the melody while the piano and the bass would just do the backing.

 

Regards.
