it would been better to build into something bigger at the end when i said goes on a wee while i just thought after about 2 and half minutes just thought it would step up a bit!


I was what I was aiming for but my production desires outweigh my production skills, which are still in their infancy and like the vocal I ran out of time.  :-[
I knew I needed a build up at the end but adding more instruments would not have worked. What I really needed to do was create the dynamics with the existing instrumentation. Unfortunately I don't play the keyboards so the midi drums, strings and organ were written in notation. I should have gone back and adjusted the velocity of each individual note to give that build from beginning to end, but as you can probably imagine, that is a rather time consuming process, so I tried to cheat by using wind sound effects. To some success, but not enough.

BUT NEXT TIME...........................!!  ;) ;D
I have no authority or standing here, only opinions. :-)

Hiya,
This is definitely up my street and I do like a bit of drama so to my mind dramatic is the way forward!  I really like it, lyrics are good and poppy and the falling to the depths bit is particularly brilliant both musically and lyrically - I'm thinking anthem here - I can hear gospel choirs too  ;)!!! Well done both of you and good luck in the comp.  :-*
