Hi Justin,
i had exactly the same idea esspecialy because the info was hard to
understand but Kevin the arrangement was just a little over the top but this
is a question of taste
anyway it was a good job and if your client is sattisfied with it that's all
that counts.
maybe it helps to expand the background vocals and to mix them in the
orchestra.
but its a good example of the poweer of protools.
grts.
Peter.

Hey folks. Just got through with this jingle I wrote for a client. I was
going for that late 70's early 80's Smooth Jazz feel. Besides the fact
that the mastering bus is a tad over compressed, let me know what you guys
think. Be aware that my strengths are in writing, arranging, lead and
backing vocals, keys, drum programming, sound shaping and design. I'm not
a mix or mastering engineer. I hate mixing. If I had a Preset called "Late
70's bob James," I'd use it. If I had a budget for hiring a mix engineer,
I'd do it in a heartbeat. Needless to say, I am extremely proud of the
arrangement and performances. All was recorded and mixed in Pro Tools 9.
All sounds except for the drums were stock. Some of them are less than
desirable, but for now, they'll have to do. The drums I used was the free
Drumcore kits. Anyway, looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
