Character sketch of a sweet, perceptive, and curious little girl.
https://soundcloud.com/athanorsoundlabs/princess-of-the-forrestImported the melody & block chords into BIAB & played w/ different styles until I got it heading in the right direction.
Once I was largely satisfied, I brought the tracks into Cakewalk for editing. I simplified the piano LH & tidied up the strings some. I think it was in the B section where I swapped the string & piano parts. Then I split the strings into their individual instruments.
I didn't like what BIAB was giving me for variations on the melody in the middle part. Too fancy. So I ended up putting those in manually.
For the final output, I used the IK Brandenburg Piano and layered Spitfire's Intimate Strings and Cinematique's Zhillouette Strings together.
