Song Update - The Perfect Way

This song has now been renamed from "More Together" to "The perfect way". Added Scotts vocals. Maybe to many effects on the vocals, sounds a bit darthy. Eastern descender riff now repeats in verse 2. Fiddled with compression an the bass to bring down the chorus level.

Song Update - More Together v2

Drastically shortened the intro. Added a new chorus with a twangy guitar. Song now a lot shorter. Maybe need to ditch last chorus and have a bridge instead. I think I need to sort the levels out maybe bring up the twang and lower the bass in the chorus. I think the last verse with the twang guitar could just be a solo part. Also I think the 2nd verse needs the same descending eastern meloday as heard in the 1st.

Song - What's to come v3

Due to problems with my Odeo account there's been a build up of new songs that I can now publish therefore there are a lot of new ones today. This is the 3rd Version of "What's to come", the other 2 were never uploaded. This is identical to the 2nd version just a better mix. The main differences between version 1 and 2 were the drums. It may well be that we revert back to those old drums.

Song - The Multiverse Song v1

Stab at an elektro type tune. 1st use of the highly recommended EZ drummer and it's latin percussion library. I really need to add some variation in all drum patterns, and convince Scott lay down some vocals.

Song Update - Princess Alexandra v2

R-recorded vocals and guitar, added a second layer of guitar, panned both slightly. Used a slightly punchier drum kit. 2nd verse string synth is louder probably too loud ?!!? The break after 2nd chorus is now only Scott's guitar, this is a part we can't decide on. Added more drum fills. Also re-recorded bass now in tune ;) and altered melody slightly to fit G major scale.
