Squeeeeeee!


It's is amazing. I think it is my favourite song so far, for both the music and imagery and incorporation of everything with the lyrics. And it was a good call to duet the last refrain. It sounds very nice.

Yes, I like that part the best as well. The falling shadow is a nice touch, and I like the music in that verse best. It all fits together very well.

By the way, for future reference, does it help to mark a count of four before the start of a new part to help line up the recording? I meant to make a mention of that in the previous post but it slipped my mind.

Another question for future reference - is there a way to change the volume individually on the pieces of music you gather together? I feel that whenever I record the instrumentals, they sound very quiet, and I always have to up the volume on my computer to listen to it properly. And every time I don't really notice it until the voice then comes along quite louder than expected for the volume of music. It might be a fault in my computer, because the music is quiet even without the added voice, I just compensate for it better. Is there any way to make it louder on my end, do you think? I tried recording with a different volume output set on my computer, but it made no difference.


I am struggling a bit with getting Wind's melody right, but I'll get there eventually. I'll send you the sketch once I get it straight, before I start prettying it up.
ETA: Ha! Spotted the key change. That explains things. I should have looked closer at the chords from the beginning. Well, that cleaned up about 3/4 of the melody. Just a few bars left of those that still aren't fitting even when the key change is accounted for.
