Hey is there a forum for this on LM, like "musicians wanted"? That'd be useful!

Hi,

Haven't had sufficient time for a full listen yet but so far Wow, what an ambitious project! Really great arranging and sounds! The Wedding March as an example sounds gorgeous!

I haven't listened to the whole thing yet either, but what I sampled was quite interesting. As usual, I think it's in the choral parts where your production shines: you seem to have figured out how to make those sound really good!

Thanks, @GMaq and @Rainmak3r.

The Wedding March was rendered with sfizz playing the Virtual Playing Orchestra for the strings, and Ardour's built-in GM synth for the pipe organ, of course all run through Dragonfly Hall to get that huge sound. That's a track where the collaboration helped the composition. The original version just had three straight-up repetitions because that was the length of time they needed for the march in the play. I added variety to keep things interesting, and the pipe organ seemed to be just what it needed for the last verse.

Not sure what my secret is for the choir parts. My own voice is only a small part on the last track. All of the voices were recorded separately, so I could tweak the levels and panning of each part to get just the right balance. The backing vocals in the power ballad were mostly cut and spliced from alternate takes of the lead vocal, and then I had my daughter sing the harmony part after I had done that arrangement. I think it worked pretty well.

Thanks for the listen and comments.
