The strings are four parts, but they don't really count, do they? wink

Really nice theme/melody lines. Impressive playing on the EWI. Excellent arrangement.

Thanks!

But honestly, there's a lot of editing going on behind the scenes. Big chunks of the melody were invented by playing it only focusing on the rhythm, and then editing it after the fact. It was simpler than working out the proper key changes, which really didn't pay much attention to the key signature.

I agree with Trev that the horns are SLIGHTLY too-out-front. They "come out of the mix" a little (they sound great). It causes the bass & drums to seem slightly too low (to my ears).


Thanks for the feedback - I'll take that into account in the next mixdown.

Nice to see you post something again...
And cool that you can work on music with your son.

Yep! There were a lot of things going on last year that made it tough to find spare time, so I figured I'd try harder this year - even at the expense of rushing things a bit.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
