Hey everyone,
So I've been working on trying out some new styles and a publisher requested that I try an epic cinematic approach that builds and builds...and builds. When I wrote this, I originally envisioned it to be a male/female duet, but they liked my voice and wanted me to run with it, so it was fun working on a new vocal style as well (aside from belting out a few nut grabbers in the last chorus that I thought a girl would sing).
I used the Axe-III for the guitars and bass (YA AC-212 Gold and YA SV-210) with generous amounts of the gorgeous Stratocumulus reverb. It's crazy, you rarely hear guitar in modern sync tunes, but that needs to change. I used some cool reverb hold tricks to make pads with guitars and even doubled the bridge cello with a fuzz tone.
Anyway, it still needs work, and I hate how Soundcloud destroys the clarity and image of a song, but I wanted to share it with you guys.
If you have any tips on mastering for Soundcloud to make it more alive, please let me know.
Here it is...and I'm sure it'll change by tomorrow anyway.
Edit: The song got picked up by a publisher, so I had to remove the link.
