"There Will Come a Time" Grew By a Minute Less (tracks)

This is what "There Will Come a Time" looks like just now ... although it probably won't continue looking like that five or ten minutes after I start screwing around with it again.


Actual size is about twice that so there's nothing in particular to be learned although you may notice the two top tracks are quite similar and at this range look the same.  The green lines at the extremes of each track show how they will be panned.  One goes to the medium far right and the other the medium far left.  The result is the same apparent volume but with an increase in the space within the sound field.  Your sound field isn't like a laser beam going straight forward so it's best to spread sound within it.

The song has dropped from 4:40 to 3:40 which is a huge chop but it works better.  There's an unusual guitar lead in the break and it survives because it's unusual but I'm not sure if it will stay alive on that basis.  The last part is where there will probably be more arranging.  The guitar doesn't get to do any grandstanding so she's got to get into it somewhere.


(Ed:  isn't this thing turning into High Production?)

Yup

(Ed:  isn't that a disease that makes songs so they only play in Wal-Mart and Apple Stores?)

Yup

(Ed:  ok.  Just wanted to get that straight.)
